The Impact Discounts and the Price-Quality Effect Have on the Choice of an Institution of Higher Education.
Quigley, Charles J., Jr.; Bingham, Frank G., Jr.; Notarantonio, Elaine M.; Murray, Keith
Journal of Marketing for Higher Education, v9 n2 p1-17 1999
A survey of 303 potential college students and their parents found that high price and low price institutions are evaluated higher on quality attributes than are moderately priced institutions. Further, discounts (such as financial aid) were found to have little effect on the attendance decision. Implications for the pricing strategies used by institutions of higher education are discussed.
