I can't believe it is only 2 weeks until the Christmas holiday starts! If you’re like me, this time of year brings the sudden realization that it’s time to start Christmas gift shopping. As much as I love giving presents, I’ve noticed it feels harder to justify paying full price after all those discounts during Black Friday. Are you feeling the same?
This isn’t just a holiday shopping problem, it’s a real issue! How customers see prices has lasting effects on how much they’re willing to pay, and understanding this can really change your sales strategy.
Why should you care about your customers' willingness to pay?
Customer Willingness to Pay (WTP) is the maximum price your customers are willing to pay based on the value they associate with your product or service. Why is this important?
- Knowing your customers’ WTP helps you set optimal prices that maximize revenue without losing customers to competitors.
- By understanding WTP, you can align pricing and product features to match your customers’ needs and expectations.
- Segment your audience and target those who find your product most valuable, ensuring higher profitability and customer satisfaction.
- Without a clear understanding of WTP, you risk losing customers with pricing that feels “off” or not logical with their expectations.
Practical tools to make sure you don't lose any sales because of low WTP
Campaigns may have impacted your customers’ price expectations, but don’t worry, here are some quick tools to help you get the sales without heavy discounting making sure you are maintaining profitability. It is just important to identify the situation and act (!) if you suspect that your customers are not buying at a normal price, that they are just waiting for the next wave of sales or looking for competitors that sell at a cheaper price.
- Offering flexible payment options, such as installment plans, subscription models, or financing solutions (Klarna etc.), can significantly increase the sales. By doing so, customers are more likely to make purchases without feeling the strain of a large upfront cost. Buy now, pay after Christmas!
- Bundling strategies are our favourite! Those can be an effective way to increase perceived value while encouraging customers to spend more. By combining products or services and offering them at a slight discount, you can create attractive deals that make customers to buy more than they initially planned.
