When you are either moving from Dallas or relocating to Dallas, you will always be faced with the cumbersome problems of moving – including the promptness of transporting, safety and security of your belongings and the arrangement/placement of your belongings in your new destination. With such hassle-ridden problems, almost everyone seeks for a professional hand. Moving on own used be the things of past. Along with so many pros comes one of the important pros – that is, affordability of moving via moving and storage companies.
Moving companies offer varieties of services as per the customers’ requirements in exceedingly reasonable prices. The reasons for low prices are held accountable mainly by forces of supply and demand. In an equilibrium market, the market forces –demand and supply – meet to form an equilibrium price and a corresponding equilibrium quantity traded. With ever so need for moving nowadays, the demand for the services of moving companies have risen. But the demand has been overshadowed by the overflowing services with so much companies establishing in the market day by day. Increase in demands should have increased the price in the market, but the supply is dominant force here, so increase in the supply gets the price reduced.
Furthermore, the moving companies tend to lower their prices as a means of strategies to ward off their rivals from the market. With fierce competition established in the market, setting up a low price has become one of the major tactics to lure more customers than before. The law of demand – stating the inverse relationship between price of a product and quantity demanded of the product – comes into action when price is set lower. As a consequence of lower prices, customers perceive that their purchasing power has increased and hence choose to demand for more products. Despite the low prices, the average annual profit margins of these moving companies might have risen up over theses recent years. Higher sales breed higher profit should the companies succeed in maintaining overhead same as before or even lower.  However, the companies should be aware that how the customers respond in the price changes will determine the increment and decrements of income and thence profit.
