Loss Leader
Product sold at loss to attract customers/drive traffic.
Formula
Loss Leader Price < Cost Price
Real World
Supermarkets like Tesco regularly sell bread and milk below cost price, banking on customers filling their trolleys with higher-margin items during the same visit.
Exam Focus
Always state the intended outcome (increased basket spend) not just the price cut — one-sided answers lose 'analyse' marks.
