Short answer
Penetration pricing is the strategy of entering a market with a low price to win share quickly, then raising prices once customers are acquired. It suits markets where buyers are price-sensitive or where scale and network effects matter. Risks include attracting deal seekers who leave when prices rise and anchoring low value perceptions.
