Pricing and Revenue-Structure Models

Named models defined by how price is structured across a product or a set of related products rather than by the sales channel or ownership arrangement used, including selling a core item near or below cost to profit from a required companion item, deliberately pricing one item low to draw in other purchases, and combining several items into one priced package. Belongs here: any model whose defining act is a deliberate pricing structure across related items. Does not belong here: a model defined primarily by its sales channel or by recurring payment over time, grouped under Direct Sales and Distribution Channels or Subscription and Recurring-Access Models respectively.
