I’ve been thinking about revamping my pricing structure. Right now, it’s pretty basic - just an hourly rate. But I’m wondering if offering tiers might work better.
Anyone have experience with tiered pricing for their services? How did you decide what to include in each level? Curious about the pros and cons.
I keep it simple. One rate for everything. Tiers seem like too much hassle to keep track of. Clients just want the job done fast and cheap anyway.
Nah I just charge what feels right for each job.
Not much for fancy pricing stuff. Keep it simple I say.
I’ve played around with pricing structures a bunch. Here’s what I’ve learned:
Tiered pricing can work, but it’s tricky. You gotta nail down exactly what each tier includes. And clients sometimes want to mix and match, which gets messy.
My current setup:
It’s flexible and easy to explain. Plus, I can adjust based on the client and project.
Main things to remember:
Whatever you choose, keep it simple enough that you can explain it quickly. And be ready to tweak it if it’s not working out.
Just my two cents from fumbling through this myself!
I’ve tried both. Hourly works for some jobs, but tiers can be good too.
My approach: basic package covers essentials. Premium adds extras and priority service.
Keep it simple though. Too many options confuse clients. And always be clear about what’s included.
Main thing is to price so you’re making money. Don’t undersell yourself.
I tried tiered pricing a couple years back. Had three levels - basic, standard, premium. Each tier included more services and higher priority.
It worked well for some clients who liked choosing a package. But others found it confusing. Some wanted to mix and match services from different tiers.
Now I do a hybrid approach. I have a base rate for core services. Then offer add-ons clients can pick. It’s flexible and easier to explain.
The key is knowing your services inside out. Figure out which ones most clients need vs what’s ‘extra’. Price accordingly. And be ready to adjust if it’s not working.
Remember, whatever system you choose, make it crystal clear to clients. Nothing worse than disputes over what’s included in their package.
Tiered pricing can work, but it’s not always worth the hassle. I’ve found it’s better to keep things simple. Have a base rate for your standard work. Then add on extras as needed for specific jobs. Makes quoting easier and clients get it right away.
Key thing is to know your costs inside out. Figure out what you need to charge to make a profit on each type of job. Don’t lowball yourself just to get work. Better to lose a job than work for peanuts.
Whatever you decide, make sure your pricing is clear up front. Last thing you want is arguments over the bill after the job’s done.
