Pricing tips

[TechLady]

I thought these were some pretty good tips on pricing...would probably be especially useful for those of you with shops.

Thanks. This is fascinating. We currently use some of these techniques but we will integrate more of them.

Can you post a link? I'm reading in Tapatalk 2 on iPhone. When I try to zoom in on the image, the text is to blurry to read.

This is my latest struggle. My prepay packages have fluctuated a bit in the last year, we did price checking and testing and found that if I only had 2 packages for sale for remote support, it was best. But then those that buy the smaller packages (under $300) didn't want to buy the $500 package. These are not cheap clients, they were just judging the price points with their needs and determined the $500 were too much.

Then I thought about monthly plans and sent out a marketing pitch to 5 of my clients to see what they thought. 2 that replied back said they preferred the prepay plans.

Waiting on 3 more to reply back, but am thinking that I will just stay with prepay and easier on the invoicing and keeping up I guess.

Nice find. Out of curiosity, how did you find this particular image?

I'm always hungry for resources that provide such information.

It is very ironic that this image is on THIS site, especially with the morons who commented on this particular blog. In either case, this is a great find and very accurate. We have been using many of these price structures for a long time with a great level of success. Every industry is a little different, but most can use these price structures in some form.

One I've noticed is that people can't pass up a "deal".

I've seen people purchase a several hundred dollar flat screen television because it was $200 "cheaper" then it used to be. They had no idea of the actual value of the unit, because a quick search with my phone revealed that this "sale" price was actually the standard price most other places were selling it for.

So while it wasn't a "rip off", they got someone to purchase a product they never intended to buy in the first place.

So if you run a repair shop why not try something similar?

Offer a service at a "discount". Like a maintenance contract plan that "used" to cost $600 but is now "on sale" for $400 a month. Or something like that.
