HOW TO GROW YOUR STARTUP ​
​
2 Growth Tips to Scale Your Biz

Here are the growth tactics, hacks, and stunts to help you grow your startup:

1/ Say β€œcosts $x more” for premium options​

You're introducing new bran muffins at your bakery for health-conscious customers and need to set the pricing to encourage bulk purchases.

You have two pricing options:

  1. 6 muffins for $10, 12 for $15
  2. 6 muffins for $10, add 6 more for $5

Here’s why the second option is better.

When displaying prices for product upgrades, highlight the price difference (e.g., $19 more for premium) instead of the total price. This makes expensive options seem cheaper and boosts sales.

πŸŽ“ A scientific study was conducted, and below are the Findings

Listing add-ons separately (e.g., $10 extra) increases the likelihood of purchase. In 4 experiments:

  • 38% more chose a 27-inch monitor ($60 more) over a 23-inch ($199.99).
  • New York Times subscriptions doubled with $7 more for the larger plan.
  • 40% more bought a premium bicycle ($60 more).

This effect works for quick decisions but fades with careful price comparison.

🧠 Why it works

We focus on how prices are shown. Highlighting the price difference makes the premium option seem cheaper, encouraging upgrades. Longer deliberation reduces this effect.

2/ Two million clicks from one email​
