Boost Sales With a Simple Pricing StrategyToday's insight comes from one of our favorite newsletters; Ariyh. According to scientific research, where you position your price can make a significant impact. Recommendation: Position your price below your product. Studies have shown that when the price is displayed below the product, customers perceive it to be lower, leading to increased purchase likelihood.✅ Take it a step further: Previous research suggests that prices positioned to the left also appear smaller. Test both positionings below and to the left to optimize your pricing strategy.Findings:📊 In experiments, participants perceived a $2.49 dental floss to be 9% cheaper when the price was at the bottom of the image. Plus, a liquor store experienced a 35.2% sales boost when prices were shown below the bottles.Why it works: The metaphor that “down = less” and “up = more” is ingrained in most of us as a concept. For example, one can be “king of the hill” or “up in heaven”, and hit “rock bottom” or “go down to hell”. So when we see a price in a low vertical position, we associate “down” with “less” and perceive it as a smaller number than what it is.Dive deeper here.
