Simple Ways to Increase Your Prices
East Midlands Business Growth Event
Pricing creates business opportunities but only the best companies will take advantage of them and truly thrive. There is often a misconception that marketing is just about communication… it is not! Fundamentally, effective marketing is about getting your business strategy right. This is more crucial than ever before.
David will introduce you to a range of ideas on pricing decisions, and you will come away with action plans to increase your prices which can be implemented quickly and easily, and with almost no cost.
Why a Platypus?
Imagine you have been given a challenge. You have a real 2-year-old male platypus, and you have to sell it for the highest price you can. Where do you start?
You can try Google, but you’re out of luck. No one else sells a Platypus, so you can’t just copy their price.
Most businesses have a platypus or two. A product or service that you know ought to command a higher price but you just don’t know how to get it; or you feel you are under price pressure which you’re not sure how to resist.
