Price Anchoring
Price anchoring is presenting a reference price first so a subsequent price is judged relative to it, rather than in isolation.
Example
A proposal shows a premium package before the standard one, so the standard price reads as more reasonable by comparison than if it were shown alone.
Why it matters
Understanding how a reference point shapes perception helps a business present pricing options in an order that reflects real value, not accidental framing.
Limits and cautions
Using an anchor that clearly doesn't match what a client would actually consider can undermine trust rather than influence the decision.
Relevance to Stelaah
Stelaah's estimate and package builder can present multiple pricing tiers together, letting the order and framing be a deliberate choice.
