Pricing Categories and their Effects on Consumer Buying Decision

Consumer buying decisions (CBD) are affected by many factors and pricing is among them. However, to understand how pricing affects the buying decision of consumers, researchers found that it is necessary to clarify pricing categories. The objective of this study is to see how each pricing category affects CBD. Since there are few studies regarding the impact of pricing categories on CBD especially in Iraq, researchers investigated the impact of fair price, fixed price, and relative price on CBD. A questionnaire was distributed randomly on consumers who were willing to respond, 132 valid questionnaire were gathered and
analyzed by SMART PLS3 to arrive at the study’s findings. Moreover, the results showed that the fixed price and fair price had a positive effect on the CBD.
