In today's episode, we dive into the intriguing world of psychological pricing and explore how subtle differences in pricing strategies can significantly impact consumer behavior and sales in e-commerce.
The Universe of Pricing
Pricing isn't just about numbers; it's a vast universe that influences how we sell products. Factors like margins, average ticket size, turnover, and numerous other elements play crucial roles in determining the optimal price point.
Common Pricing Recommendations
Visual Cues: Utilize visual signals to grab attention, such as highlighting discounts or limited-time offers.
Price Breakdown: Present the price divided over days or per person to minimize the perceived cost, making it more digestible for customers.
Psychological Pricing Tactics
Higher Prices on the Left: Place a higher-priced item to the left of the product you want to sell (since we read from left to right), making the target product seem more affordable.
Fewer Syllables in Prices: Prices like €27.98 may seem more expensive than €28.10 because they take longer to pronounce, affecting perception.
Focusing on the Final Digit
To Round or Not to Round? Would you price an item at €20 or €19.99? Studies suggest that prices ending with odd numbers can boost sales by up to 24%.
Avoid Rounding: The first takeaway is clear—avoid round numbers to leverage psychological pricing benefits.
Internal Pricing Strategies in Retail/Online
Differentiating with the Last Digit: Retailers often use the last digit to signify special offers or standard pricing.

Regular prices end with a 9 (e.g., €39.99, €49.99).
Summer campaign prices end with a 5 (e.g., €19.95, €24.95).
This subtle change not only catches the customer's eye but may also help internally differentiate orders.
