Jack： I went through the sales figures in the marketing survey report. Ifcompare it with our survey of consumptive habits， you can draw oneconclusion.
Charlie： What's that？
Jack： Price is quite sensitive in this market. When our product was markedup at a higher recommended retail price， our sales after product launchwere lower than lower. At a discounted price， we landed more sales.
Charlie： Do you think we should start low？
Jack： Yes. Price is an important variable in our market， so we can use itto build our customer base. If our customers get hooked on the lowrecommended retail price， they will buy and become more loyal to ourbrand. In that case， we can hike the price up when the sales hit the peakand our customer base relies on our products.
Charlie： That sounds like a really great marketing strategy.
Jack： This is a very competitive market. We’ve to come up with a fewclever strategies in order to keep our place on top.
Charlie： I think we should focus on young consumers.
Jack： That's our targets. The young consumer is fast to commit， but fickleto stay with a brand. Our challenge is customer loyalty.
杰克：我看了市场调查的数据报告。如果与我们产品的消费习惯调查报告比较，会得出一个结论。
查理：什么结论？
杰克：市场对价格是很敏感的。当产品建议零售价高时，产品发布后，我们产品销售额越来越低。产品打折时，销售额就升高。
查理：你建议我们该从低价开始？
杰克：对。价格是我们市场的重要变量，我们可用来创建我们的客户群。如果客户群认可我们的建议零售价，他们就依赖我们的品牌。那样的话，当销售额达到峰值，客户依赖我们的产品时，我们就可以抬高价格了。
查理：这似乎是不错的市场策略。
杰克：市场竞争激烈，我们必须拿出最佳的策略来赢得领先优势。
查理：我认为该关注年轻人消费群。
杰克：那是我们的市场群体。年轻人消费是快，但是很难保持，我们最大挑战是客户的忠诚。
