The term ‘Price on request’ is used for products to accentuate their exclusivity to a minority and a luxury price tag. Each product created by Price on Request has a set starting price, which increases by a set percentage every subsequent purchase of the same piece. If demand for some product is higher, the price will get higher. Customers are allowed to dictate the price according to demand and also participate in raising the brand’s value.
