EP082: Budget and Hybrid Pricing Models for Creative Businesses
Oct 22, 2021 Season 3 Episode 82
Melissa Hartfiel and Heather Travis

In Part 2 of our conversation on pricing models for creative businesses, Melissa and Heather talk about budget or value based pricing and hybrid pricing (where you offer a premium tier and a budget tier). Team that up with last week's episode on premium pricing and you have all three models to evaluate - which one is best for your business?

This is a great episode for anyone who is:

  • debating a change to how they price their products and services. 
  • tired of working 40+ hour weeks but  still struggling to pay the bills with their business.
  • you know you're pricing your products and services too low but you're not sure how to raise them without frightening off customers and clients
  • you still want to make your work accessible to clients and customers with smaller budgets
