Moving to the Innovation Center --- Part V
The Grill Floor.
The innovation center is a two-story building, and they use grill work to cover the walkway of second floor. The use of a grill floor presents a futuristic feel, and it also enhances the air circulation of both floors. The gaps in the grill are wide enough to have pennies, coffee, and dust fall thru. It is common that the university will organize banquets and set the food right under the rail while people are walking on the second floor. Women who prefer wearing skirts are unwilling to travel on the second floor for some unknown reason. If you have a serious condition of vertigo, I would not recommend coming up to the second floor. In extreme cases, patients may be so frightened that they wet their pants. There is really nothing to hold the urine.
This is the last section of the innovation center series. I hope you enjoy it, and tour is available from Mon-Fri 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. The entrance fee is in the following: $10 for seniors over 65, $2 for adults, and 99 cents for students (student ID required), and no children please. Private or group visitations are also available; just contact my sale representative for more information.

I can't wait! Where do I sign up? How much is it to see where you actually work! Can we sit at your desk? Oh my gosh! "We're not worthy!!! We're not worthy!!!"
Roger-
I would like to inform you that your pricing strategy for your Innovation Center tours is fatally flawed.
While (legal) price discrimination can prove to be a very valuable means of reaching profit maximization, it must be correctly applied in order to arrive at the desired outcome. It would be my reccomendation to charge a discounted price to those patrons whom are unwilling/unable to pay a larger sum. These customers, of course, include senior citizens who are living off of monthly social security checks. By charging seniors $10, $8 more than adults still in the work force, you are alienating a core group of society, a group who should be your target market. ie: those who have nothing better to do than to tour local businesses.
In conclusion, I would recommend that you consider an immediate adjustment to your pricing strategy which involves charging senior citizens a lower price and charging working adults a higher one. This strategy is successfully employed by a number of businesses such as movie theaters and theme parks.
This has been an introductory consulation compliements of Christina's Business Analysis Inc. If I could be of any further help, please do not hesitate to contact me. My normal fees are $75/hr.

Dear Christina,
Thank you for your insights. It is one of our core values to make continuous improvements and strive for customers' satisfactions.
During the week, we took serious considerations about your pricing model. After several hours of debates and discussions, our answer is inconclusive. So, we prayed about it, but unfortunately we didn't hear anything back. We decided to stick with our current pricing model, and not to hire you, so we save $75/hr in order to control our expenses. Once again, we thank you your post, and please feel free to contract our public communication director if you have further questions and suggestions.
Sincerely yours,
HK Roger
I didn't want to work for you anyway.
You'll be sorry when your business goes down :-)
Sounds like sabotage underfoot.
