Suppose you own a franchise of rental car bureaues in Florida. You recently get a report indicating that about 80% of all tourists visit Florida during winter months in any given year, and that 60% of all tourists traveling to Florida by air rent automobiles. Travelers not planning ahead often have great difficulty finding rental cars due to high demand. However, during nonwinter months tourism drops dramatically and travelers have no problem securing rental car reservations. Determine the optimal pricing strategy, and describe why it is the best pricing strategy.
