For paysites, which looks better? XX.95 or XX.99? - GoFuckYourself.com

XXXPaysiteDesign · 12-20-2002, 09:16 PM

Well?

Gutterboy · 12-20-2002, 09:18 PM

Didn't someone post some marketing research a while ago showing that people are marginally more likely to go for the xx.95?

p1mpdogg · 12-20-2002, 09:18 PM

neither.
try

.61
.84
.32
etc... people wont notice this charge as much.

localG · 12-20-2002, 09:19 PM

29.99

XXXPaysiteDesign · 12-20-2002, 09:19 PM

Probably, which would make me right and the person I'm debating with wrong. We'll let the poll decide!

29.99 does fine on alot of the site's i push

horns · 12-20-2002, 09:24 PM

34.95

You'll do better.

fiveyes · 12-20-2002, 09:26 PM

Both are overused. Go with 29.97. (and no, I'm not joking)

heymatty · 12-20-2002, 09:28 PM

I use .95 on all my sites.

Not sure why

Just seems best.

1.99... haha j/k id say the 29.95... sounds good its like a deal you hear on the radio.. or when you go into a store the 95 just has a nice ring to it

multisexsite · 12-20-2002, 10:11 PM

Good point about the .61!

I was talking about rather than using 29.99 or 29.95 you should use something random and not so 'tv special super saver club spam'
such as 29.61 29.84 etc..

these charges are more likely to go unnoticed on recurring billing

Interesting to say the least.

kmanrox · 12-21-2002, 03:18 AM

marketing/business 101 tells you 95

WiredGuy · 12-21-2002, 03:20 AM

Mix in some subliminal marketing.
XX.69

Beastiepoo · 12-21-2002, 05:25 AM

I've voted for XX.95 although I agree that something more obsccure might market even better. If you gotta get your CC out to pay for something you don't tend to worry about the pennies too much, you just slap down the card (or in this case enter the details) and worry about it when the bill comes. Taking that into consideration something more 'Wal-mart' - like XX.84 or something else similar would prolly be slightly more appealing because your average porn surfer would think they are getting slightly better value for money from you than they would your rival's site who wants the extra .15 making the proce XX.99.

What I'm getting sick of is when I go into shops and pay with cash and I get one fucking penny back. Unless I'm in the supermarket where things are supposed to be odd prices, I'd almost rather the shops bump the prices of things up to the nearest pound (dollar, euro, yen, whatever). Same with things advertised at XX.49. I don't want all these pointless pennies. It takes so long to collect enough worth changing in, I'd just rather not get it back at all. I'm not saying everything should be that way, if they wanna charge XX.60 and give me back .40 then wonderful, but I'm sure he world would be a happier place if they'd quit with all this XX.X9 shit.

Sorry, rant over. I feel better for that though.

DemonWolfe · 12-21-2002, 06:04 AM

The answer depends on the perception you wish to push about your product.

Do you want it to look like a cheap deal or a true value.

Check out the prices are stores that you already shop at and I bet you will be suprised that didn't even notice how they do it before.

jimmyf · 12-21-2002, 07:55 AM

I learned way back... not 2 use xx.99 or xx.99. You want 2 use odd numbers xx.87, xx.33, xx.23, xx57 but I wouldn't use xx.87 because I believe SilverCash is using it rat now (that tell you anything).
