Should the marine industry use surge pricing?
Recently, there was a significant backlash in the United States when Wendy’s announced they would be testing a “dynamic pricing” model where the cost of menu items would fluctuate based on demand. Public reaction was immediate and Wendy’s back-pedaled and brought out a special $1.00 burger offer to quell the anger. But, does it make sense to charge more when there is big demand and to offer better prices when demand is weaker?
Isn’t that what the airlines and hotels have been doing for years? Some people joke that no two passengers on the plane paid the same price for their seat. I just flew during March Break and it was much more expensive than if I could have travelled the week before. Could this work for the boat business?
