The Pricing Experiment That Shocked Our Client

Hey, it's Yonah from Amazon Growth Lab

"We need to lower our prices to compete," a kitchenware brand owner insisted during our first meeting.

I suggested something that seemed counterintuitive: "Let's test raising your prices instead."

He looked at me like I was crazy. His products were priced at $19.99 based on competitor research, and he was convinced that going higher would kill his sales.

We ran our Price Elasticity Test, trying 5 different price points over 35 days.

The shocking result? At $24.99, both conversion rate and sales volume increased.

By raising prices 25%, they boosted profit by 42% and revenue by 17%.

Why did this work? At $19.99, customers perceived the product as "cheap." At $24.99, it fell into the "quality" perception bracket.

Most sellers make the mistake of pricing based on competitors rather than customer psychology.

A premium tool brand had a similar experience: raising prices from $29.99 to $39.99 actually increased conversion by 1.3%.
