Loss Leader Strategy
(redirected from Loss-leader)

Loss Leader Strategy
A business strategy whereby a company sells a product at a loss in order to sell the customer associated products for a profit. This is common when a company is new and wishes to build brand loyalty and other goodwill. For example, a grocery store may sell its bread for a loss and advertise its low price for bread in order to attract customers, who will likely then buy that same store's milk, eggs, and cheese. A loss leader strategy can be very profitable if executed properly. See also: Pricing strategy.
