Internet Marketing – Do you put prices on your website? I don’t. Here’s why-2

Mark Wickersham (UK):

in this post I’m going to
explain why you absolutely shouldn’t
put prices on your website.

Or great ones?
So what about the clients we’d all love
to get? Those ambitious,
forward-thinking entrepreneurs who want
to build a great business? Well they’d
take one look and say, “Crikey! That’s
so cheap there’s no way it can offer
the quality I need.”
Beware the “prices from” trap
In a nutshell, when you start to
compete on price, you simply lose
good-quality clients.
However, don’t
try to get round this by saying,
“Prices from …”.
Firms do this
because they want to start a
conversation and then, once they’ve
hooked the client, hopefully get much
bigger prices.
The problem is, “prices from …”
creates a reference price or an anchor
in a client’ head. And then, when they
contact you to set up a meeting and you
start to talk about higher prices,
they’ll see these as expensive and are
more likely to push back.
So please, please, please don’t put
prices on your website.
It’s a mistake
that I see all the time. All that
you’ll be doing is focusing on and
winning the price shoppers.
