Price

Little pull

[Artyom]

Hello everybody,

there is a short, but complicated question.

What's better - to put the software price on the site or put a form so people can contact you with a price request and then negotiate the price? Assuming we are talking about the price...aroung 1k.

From my perspective it looks more professional if you put the price on the site... it all depends on how you run your business.

Depends on your market. If it's a small, market share-oriented space, your competition will look up your prices and try to undercut you. If it's a specialized solution whose total cost will vary significantly from installation to installation, you don't want to be perceived as misleading customers. On the other hand, if it's commodity e-tail of general productivity software, customers would expect nothing less than every detail of the price broken down.

In many people's minds, no price = expensive.

Pricing for larger ticket items is always difficult. It really depends what you are selling and what your competitors are up to.

If you put a price up your competitors will know what you are charging, and if you don't you may lose sales as some people will not enquire because they perceive the price to be too high.

It would take a lot for me to inquire about the price. So unless it really is dependent on variables (for example: web design) I'd say put it on your site.
