At a Chinese omnichannel electronics retailer, switching eligible products to uniform online-offline pricing produced delayed estimated channel gains: initial online sales fell 5.64% (p<.01), the initial offline fall of 1.78% was nonsignificant (p>.10), and Q4 estimates rose 9.20% online and 8.00% offline (both p<.01); the aggregate online estimate of +1.31% was nonsignificant (p>.10).
What this does not establish
One 2013 consumer-electronics retailer and city do not establish the effect of uniform pricing in grocery, fashion or markets with different search costs; outcomes are sales rather than margin, profit, retention or perceived fairness.
Counterevidence & uncertainty
Uniform pricing was not immediately beneficial and most consumers bought less; the positive aggregate point estimates were driven by a smaller, higher-membership and higher-frequency segment, while the +1.31% aggregate online estimate was nonsignificant (p>.10).
