Do you provide upfront pricing for your services

NulledCode · Apr 19, 2015

Do you find listing upfront pricing on your website converts higher than providing custom pricing per client? I provide web hosting for some clients and I am debating if I should offer upfront pricing on my website, say $X a month and this is what you get, or quote them based on their needs?

The same can be applied to website design and creation. I normally offer a custom solution to fit each client, but am thinking about offering a base package at a fixed price.

What are you experiences?

Do a split test and see what does best for your service. Never tried it but I read somewhere here that not providing price upfront is better.

Show them the price upfront but make sure you mark the price up a little bit. Then give some promotional codes or discounts.

I advice you to do both. Have fixed prices on your site, and install a livechat program called Zopim on your hosting website. When people come online, you can talk to them and ask them what they need. They often ask for discounts and it really helps giving it to them. Hope this helps. Goodluck!

I think I am going to do this. I'm going to try offering a cheap entry level package with a set price and show them a custom package to fit their needs with a "request quote".

For hosting.. It must be exposed on website whereas for design or development tasks you should quote differently as per the clients requirements.

In my opinion, place upfront pricing cause if your clients have contact between themselves and they discover you charging different prices to different clients you may ran into serious questions. No problem if they don't know about it.

Upfront pricing has been working very well for some of our sites. Most often if we don't provide you receive alot of inquiries but only little orders..!

I'd advise both. Offer priced packages for what people would basically need. Then mention the additional stuff you can do on top of that and get them to contact you for an individual quote.
