What is a SaaS pricing strategy?
A pricing strategy is a framework or model used to establish the best price point for a product or service. This exercise will help you choose prices to maximize profits and shareholder value while considering your target customer, features, benefits and market demand.
What are the main characteristics of pricing strategies?
These three elements should work together to highlight the primary value of your offering. The positioning will run along the horizontal axis in the pricing chart your team will create at the end of this exercise, while the packaging will run along the vertical axis. Pricing will incorporate both positioning and packaging to align your product’s core value with the willingness to pay of your target customer.
- Positioning: Who are you targeting? Aligning your product’s positioning with the right customers will make it easier to pinpoint the price they’re willing to pay.
- Packaging: Combining the right variety of features will help highlight your product’s core value. Find features that are attractive to each target customer’s main challenge(s).
- Pricing: Pricing should follow a logical pattern along the horizontal access to align both value and the customer’s willingness to pay. More features = higher price.
