Amazon Price Elasticity Testing
Find the price that maximizes profit. Not the one that feels right.
Most sellers set prices based on gut feel or competitor matching. Oracle runs controlled experiments to map your demand curve, measure real elasticity, and find the price point where margin is highest. Data, not guesswork.

Controlled experiments, not random price changes
Oracle does not just change prices and hope for the best. It designs controlled experiments with defined durations, price increments, and success criteria. Each test isolates the price variable as much as possible so you get clean data on how demand responds. The results tell you what happened and why, not just that revenue went up or down.
Demand curves reveal your real pricing power
Every product has a demand curve. At some prices, unit volume barely changes. At others, a small increase causes a sharp drop. Oracle maps this curve through systematic testing so you know exactly where the inflection points are. This is the difference between pricing by feel and pricing by evidence. Most sellers have never seen their own demand curve. Once you have, you do not go back to guessing.
Optimal price discovery for maximum margin
Revenue maximization and profit maximization are different objectives. Oracle optimizes for contribution margin, not top-line revenue. It finds the price where the combination of volume and margin per unit produces the most profit. Sometimes that means a higher price with fewer units. Sometimes it means a lower price with enough volume lift to more than offset the margin compression.
Common Questions
Frequently asked questions
Typically 2-4 weeks per test, depending on sales volume. Products with higher daily sales produce statistically significant results faster. Oracle monitors confidence levels throughout and ends tests early when the data is conclusive.
Oracle uses controlled increments and monitors velocity throughout each test. If a price point causes unacceptable velocity drops, the test adjusts or stops. The goal is to find better prices, not to damage your position in the process.
When Oracle changes a price, Marko recalculates bid ceilings based on the new margin. If a test raises the price and improves margin, Marko can bid more aggressively. If a test lowers price and compresses margin, bids tighten. The two systems stay in sync automatically.
