A system and method for making an initial product offering of tangible
products and services. A price for a product may be determined by
calculating an aggregate customer history factor by aggregating customer
history factors of potential purchasers in a buying group, calculating a
cumulative demand for a product as a function of (i) expected purchase
quantities of the product indicated by the potential purchasers in the
buying group and (ii) the aggregate customer history factor, and setting
a price of the product as a function of the cumulative demand for the
buying group. The tangible products and services may be offered at the
determined price.
