Should you try a tiered pricing strategy

How to Present Good-Better-Best Pricing

Good-Better-Best pricing helps bridge the gap between contractors and homeowners. This pricing strategy can also help you differentiate your services. Unfortunately, many companies and industries have yet to adopt this concept due to implementation concerns. Let’s take a closer look at the G-B-B approach and how the “power of choice” can drive high profit margins and new revenue.

What is Good-Better-Best Pricing?

Good-Better-Best is a tiered pricing strategy that commonly offers three product options for homeowners at gradually increasing prices. Specifically, this includes a “good” option, “better” option, and the “best” option. According to Harvard Business Review, it’s a “psychological pricing strategy” that gives the customer the ability to determine which option is best for his or her specific needs and circumstances.

In fact, Good-Better-Best pricing isn’t a new concept. It’s a proven strategy that gives homeowners the power to determine value. Some homeowners will value cheaper options due to their financial means, while others will value more expensive options with better materials or features. This model serves all sides of your customer base while helping you generate more growth and revenue. But how do you present G-B-B pricing? Implementation alone is one of the main reasons why many companies have yet to embrace this strategy.

Let’s meet! Book a 15-min phone call and learn how Leap can help you implement a Good-Better-Best pricing strategy!

How to Implement G-B-B in Your Business

Implementing Good-Better-Best pricing doesn’t have to be as tricky as it may seem. If you’re currently offering one price point, use it as the “better” option. In addition, create a package that increases quality as the “best” option and a package with lower quality materials as the “good” option. In general, you want a tiered strategy that has a balanced progression of improvements.

  1. Choose attributes that will separate price points, such as roofing types or warranties. 
  2. Retain cheaper-pricing benefits in higher-pricing offerings so that every step of the ladder has clear improvements for customers to see. 
  3. Have a low step-up cost to keep high margins like a better warranty.

You’re playing offense, defense, and consumer psychology all at once, notes the Harvard Business Review. And the goal is to make your products and services more accessible to more customers. As a result, defining this pricing strategy can help increase margins and give you more brand recognition in the process.

Don’t set a “good” price that’s more than 25% below the “better” option. Moreover, the “best” price should not exceed “better” by more than 50%. And make sure to create names for your packages that help homeowners quickly identify the best option for them.
