Rethinking Pricing Strategies
Lowering prices can be a viable strategy for attracting more customers, contrary to the conventional belief that increasing prices is always beneficial. By moving from a higher price point to a more accessible one, businesses potentially expand their market significantly, reaching a larger customer base. Although it has been suggested that lower prices could increase churn, this can also be advantageous as it allows for the filtering out of less committed users, ultimately focusing on customers who genuinely need the product. The idea of 2024 as the year for going down market reflects a shift in mindset toward making products more accessible and increasing customer acquisition.
