organizations and other non-profit making organizations that have a large customer base

organizations customer services.

on a combination of various price setting mechanisms. The first consideration for the company

breaks even and then set a price that is able t generate profits for the organization. AnswerDash
pricing is also done depending on the specific needs of the client. If a client is in need of a more
sophisticated contextual Q&A services will be charged higher prices for this services (Fottler et
al. 2012). The prices also depend on factors such as site traffic, complexity of content and the
deployment channel. There is also the fixed rate option where the consumer agrees on usage
and the price to be charged for the services.
