Buzz 3 – How to Talk About Pricing on Your Website

Three ways to talk about prices online:

  1. Straight-up Pricing
  2. True Value Pricing
  3. Ballpark Pricing

Straight-up Pricing works well when packages and prices are clear. HubSpot does this well.

True Value Based Pricing – what is the packaged sum of what your are offering or what is the cost of not doing business with you.

Meetedgar does this well:

Remember to justify your prices. Tom BIHN bags does this well:

Why are TOM BIHN bags so expensive?

TOM BIHN bags are carefully constructed of fine quality materials and components in our own Seattle factory. They’d be less expensive if we had them produced in China or Vietnam, but then we’d lose control over the quality of the finished product and the quality of the jobs we create. Our turn-around time (the time between designing a new product and being able to ship it to customers) is quite fast, especially for a small company. We could use cheaper materials, but we’ve been making bags for a long time and plan to make them for a lot longer still: we don’t want folks complaining about this or that part breaking or wearing out prematurely. There are plenty of less expensive products on the market and it’s up to you, the consumer, to decide if the quality of our products justifies their expense.
