SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE ► bit.ly/WqPFyy
There's a dumb pricing mistake people make when they price their products and services...
...and it leaves a TREMENDOUS amount of money on the table.
(The weird part? This applies to all types of products. Maybe you're selling a piece of furniture... or you'er selling multiple crafts at a craft show... or maybe you're a freelance photographer or web designer...)
What is the mistake?
Watch this video and I'll explain everything.
The best part? Once you know the mistake, it's easy to fix it.
Don't take my word on it. Watch the video. See for yourself.
This takes advantage of proven psychological pricing strategies. It works for physical products - like crafts, handmade furniture - and for freelance services - like photography, web design, consulting.

    This is great advice, and I've implemented this as Bronze, Platinum and Diamond Level strategies. Few want "Bronze" Level, as that implies 3rd place. "Platinum" is great, but what can beat a Diamond? It cuts through everything! People like to BUY, but not to BE SOLD, and offering options is a great way to leverage that solution.

    hey +DerekHalpern , first time I've watched this video. However, based on previous advice just like yours, I actually made separate packages for my most expensive service - Web Design. Here's what happened... A client of mine referred me to a prospect, I had a phone consultation with him before giving price. I made 3 packages and then emailed him the quote. Although, he's a small business owner as well, he chose the most expensive Web Design Package I currently have. I closed the deal, and I'm working on it. Your advice is excellent in this video, plus you gave me extra details on the psychology behind the pricing of my packages. All I have to say is, Thanks, and this technique works.

    Great job on the first video Derek. I am currently struggling with how to price an ebook that I have written for small business owners on doing PPC marketing. It took me a lot of time and effort and it is pretty good I think - but to get the most revenue - what price do i go for? There are other PPC ebooks in the market for $29 and others for $499, probably with not a lot of difference to them. I am leaning towards $47 as the price and then also planning to give away a free chapter as a taster.

    But the price you pay for the smaller bottles ends up being more percentage wise compared to the big bottle. So even if you don't need the big one, you'll get it 'cause it has a better value and they make more money off of you since the product is much cheaper to make.

    My opinion: You could create higher end jewellery, either by increasing complication, the material costs (using higher-end materials), and tossing in a higher mark up. Just having a few examples of that work around should not only draw in some more money whenever they do sell, but have the effect mentioned in this video on your regular jewellery.

    I have actually thought about that - I believe that most small businesses waste between 20% and 50% of their PPC budget and on average have a budget of between $1000 and $5000 per month. Through following the steps in the book they can drastically reduce the errors and become perhaps 30-40% more efficient, saving them $300-$1500 per month. But there is still a problem with perception of value with the buyer. Or perhaps it is my perception of what they buyer is willing to pay....

    What do you think of this pricing-related theory? Price of goods in the USA compared to the EU: The Gini coefficient gives a measure of the income distribution of a nation's residents. Generally, Europe has more even wealth distribution than the USA. (Search for map.) That probably influences the prices of goods because less people in the USA would have the means to buy expensive goods and the maximum profit on an item would be at a lower price point.

    This is true and it is an extremely well and long time known approach. For example, all big brands of food and rink products utilize it by introducing products on the market that serve only this very reason to act as a vehicle to focus customers on another product. However, your example is very specific and therefore will hardly be applicable to many people because not everyone can offer work in "packages".
