Online success: How to test the effectiveness of your pricing strategies?

Posted on 18 August by Simon Gomez in Pricing strategies


Implementing a pricing strategy for your company is complicated. Do it wrong, and your margins are hurt. Price the product or service too high, and nobody will buy from you. Price them too low, and while you sell more in quantity, you will not reach adequate profit margins. Thankfully, solutions, such as PriceTweakers, will prevent those problems. 

By regularly monitoring the effectiveness of your strategies, you can know if your current prices are performing as expected or better. If they are not working, then apply the necessary changes. However, do you know how to determine the effectiveness of your pricing strategy, and how do you measure it? Continue reading this blog post to learn!   

1- Margins 

This is one is the most common metric to measure. When you deploy a new pricing strategy and notice that your margins have increased, you and your pricing team did a good job! Regardless, if you detect that the pricing strategy is not affecting (improving) your margins, you have to make some adjustments.  

2- A/B testing 

A/B testing is a popular method for comparing pricing strategies and determining which one delivers better results for your company. Create different pricing rules or variations and monitor their performance. Compare metrics like conversion rates, average order value, and revenue to identify the most effective pricing strategy for your products. 

3- Conversions 

This rate shows how many people are making purchases from your business, which is the perfect metric to stay on top of if you’re hoping to measure the effectiveness of your pricing strategies. A high conversion rate means that your pricing strategies are working, and a low conversion rate indicates that you have to modify your pricing strategy. 

4- Customer surveys and feedback 

Direct customer feedback is invaluable when testing pricing strategies. Use survey forms and ask your customers about their perception of your prices, value for money, and purchasing behavior. Asking them face-to-face about your pricing strategy always works. Also, if they mention it to you without you having to ask them, it is even better. If they do not like what you are doing, go back to the drawing board and modify your pricing strategy. 

5- Competitor monitoring
