Price fluctuation is being used in this scenario, as the seller is offering the shampoo at a lower price during the two times of year it is on sale. The hurdle method is also being used, as not everyone may be aware of or make the effort to purchase the shampoo during the sale periods, creating a "hurdle" for those who are not able to obtain the discounted price. Group pricing and alternate versions are not being used.
