Igniting Growth in the eLearning Space through Pricing Model Transformation

The Challenge

‍

An education company was on the brink of launching an innovative eLearning platform with adaptive learning features designed to provide a personalized student experience. Given the market was already saturated with numerous dominant players, and these competitors were predominantly focused on traditional, classroom-based experiences, penetrating the market and gaining a significant share posed a considerable challenge.

‍

The Approach

‍

We recognized that a one-size-fits-all strategy would not suffice in such a competitive landscape. Employing data-driven customer segmentation and conjoint analysis across 200 markets, we devised a bespoke market entry strategy. In highly price-sensitive markets, we introduced an online course priced competitively to undercut live classroom courses while offering superior personalized learning features. In markets where an in-person learning experience was highly valued, we determined an optimal discounted price point compared to market leaders, simultaneously highlighting the convenience and customization of our at-home eLearning solution. Through carefully designed experiments, we discovered 'middle' markets that appreciated a hybrid learning experience and were willing to accept a pricing discount on the premium course offering.

The Result

‍

After four years of implementing this innovative business model, price strategy, precise target segmentation, and a strategic go-to-market plan, the company gained significant market share and optimized its profitability. Our client successfully revolutionized the eLearning market with its personalized learning experience, demonstrating the power of strategic pricing and market segmentation in a competitive landscape.
