Pricing Insights Help Overcome Customer Irrationality
Inc.com has some „Pricing Rules You Need to Know“ to help „make the most of customer weirdness“ — i.e., irrationality about pricing. Their ABCs of Pricing states, „Buyers are irrational. Predictably so,“ detailing „three of the frameworks — ‚anchors,‘ ‚bumps,‘ and ‚charms‘ — they use to decide what they’ll pay for your product or services.“
Querying consumers on their perceived value of a product is unreliable because they „frequently don’t know what things are worth, and their stated preferences frequently don’t match their real-world actions. But simply taking your best guess and slapping a price tag on something usually means you’re leaving money on the table.“
Some of Inc.com’s recommendations:
- ConversionXL, which „recently rounded up a wealth of tips on pricing all grounded in science to help business owners decide what to charge for their products.“
- Use a decoy „that’s clearly inferior“ as buyers „often decide on purchases by comparing them to other options.“
- Show buyers the deal by listing the original price on sale stickers.
