Use Precise Pricing To Entice Buyers
I'm not sure when I first heard the price point "$19.95," but something about
that combination of letters impressed me - perhaps it was the fluidity the sound
those numbers made and the sense of attainability it provided. Apparently, I'm not alone.
via
NPR: Researchers at Cornell University say they've discovered something
strange about the way consumers absorb price information. They say when the
price of an item is in a round number, people perceive it as higher than an odd
number. In other words, people think a $3,000 car is more expensive than one
priced at $3,129.50. The finding has implications for people trying to sell
their homes.
It's easy to see how this can be applied to anything at all -
especially the Web. So what's the lesson? Don't round off those numbers - get creative with your
pricing and test out various pricing schemas with A/B testing to ensure maximum
sales.
