# Market price Manipulation and Competitive strategy Manipulating market prices to weaken competitors is a controversial business strategy, and many of these behaviors may violate antitrust laws and fair competition regulations. The following are some theoretically existing strategies, but please note： ## Common price competition strategies -**Strategic price reduction**: Reduce prices to a lower level than competitors in the short term to attract customers -**Differentiated pricing**: Provide different prices for different customer groups to disperse competitors' markets -**Product bundling**: Sell multiple product combinations to make it difficult for competitors of a single product to compete ##More controversial strategy (may be illegal) -**Predatory pricing**: Short-term price reduction to below cost, with the intention of expelling competitors before raising prices -**Price discrimination**: Provide special discounts to customers of specific competitors -**Vertical price limit**: Control the price of distribution channels I must emphasize that many such actions may violate the law and may lead to serious legal consequences and reputational damage. A healthier way to compete is to gain a competitive advantage by improving product quality, innovation, and enhancing customer value.
