The Psychology of Pricing

Written by IFT on April 27, 2019

Would you like to increase your prices by 2%? By 5%? By 100%?

This engaging and fascinating session, delivered with enthusiasm and energy, explores what makes us all tick, and explains how an understanding of human psychology can help you to get a better price for your product or service.

Find out how we decide on a price, learn how this applies to business decisions as much as consumer pricing decisions, and then discover different ways to get a higher price for whatever you sell.
You will leave this webinar with a number of ideas that you can apply to your business immediately, and with almost no cost, such as:
• One simple thing that will increase your average order value
• How to differentiate your business from your competition, so your customers no longer compare prices
• An easy change to your price that costs nothing and improves your negotiating position
• Why you might want to call your product The Super 2400
• How adding a zero can boost your sales
• How dropping a zero can boost your sales
