The Psychology of Price: How to use price to increase demand, profit and customer satisfaction Paperback – September 6, 2022

It was a helpful book that I am implementing in my business with lots of psychological studies backing up claims.

This is a VERY quick and VERY good overview of pricing techniques and very much tilted towards action and practicality. For anyone who just needs some quick advice and needs to get on with it - the book is spot on.Leigh used a literary storytelling technique in her book that I personally did not care for. On one hand she was TOTALLY up front about it saying it just that - a useful, illustrative literary technique. Using this she was able to provide the situational awareness that made every chapter's content make perfect sense. That being said, I simply couldn't get past the fact that it was fiction. I would have LOVED if her anecdotes could have been from actual true clients with the names changed to protect the guilty. That being said, what Leigh did was useful and I think this book will be really good for many many people.Also, Leigh's suggestions are founded on research. She doesn't give that to you, you must trust her. I think that is OK and you should, but again, I want to make sure people understand this is LESS about the psychology of price and more about putting the psychology of price in action.Good book - very action oriented. Keep up the good work Leigh.

My "Liking" of this book is based on my limited knowledge of psychology of pricing. I am a business effectiveness consultant to mostly service companies, my interaction with setting physical product pricing is limited. That's why this book was an eye opener for me.The thing I did not like is the form of the book; the font is so small and the pages are packed, the paper is thick. Al in all I suffered few pages until I decided to buy it again on Kindle format.I recommend the book for any new comer to the world of pricing, it is a step by step story telling kind of book. If only the publisher was giving the author better form options!

I am already using some of the techniques in the book on my business and seeing results. I was too excited I started applying the strategies before I finished the book and tadaaa… they work like magic

Great book. Not too long, but very informative for someone looking to get into some pricing strategy.

Interesting book and quick delivery.

I am a serial entrepreneur, a University lecturer in Russia, Italy and the USA in Business Economics and International Law and am an international business and peak performance consultant. As such, I have read a plethora of business, motivational, peak performance, coaching, team building psychology type of books over 22 years. In fact I have enough books at home, on these subjects, to sink several ships. I therefore have read many books looking at what makes great entrepreneurs and how the best motivate employees and develop every greater businesses. I therefore have used both my real life business experience and theoretical knowledge to review this book.Pricing is a very subjective thing and this author does examine and highlight the problem. You only need to look at car pricing on craigslist or autotrder to see great price differentials on the same car with the same mileage etc. Very often private owners will "over value" their beloved car, pricing it above market levels as they perceive, through emotion, that it is worth more than a car sold by a dealer. The concept of "Value" is an incredibly subjective thing, yet it is at the core of pricing. This author looks at these problems of perception, value and why some are willing to pay more for a product than others. The author does this by examining the imaginary pricing system behind a product called "chocolate teapots" and how the price is derived for this product. The ideas are very good as an introduction to the concepts of pricing and psychology, but there are other books on the market that go into the subject in a far more technical manner and examine other areas of pricing problems. If you are looking for a definitive text examining all pricing concepts then this book is not for you.The book is a great easy read for anyone interested in the subject of pricing. It is does not examine every area of the subject but gives a good introduction to the subject.Recommended.

There is no real life case studies here. The whole book is based on a hypothetical company making some chocolate teapot thingy. I felt like a fool, reading through a whole writing of a company and product that doesn't exist. Pricing has many nuances in real life because it is based on products. It is a book worth for a first time person into pricing, but if you want to take your pricing game to the next level, this book is not good for that.
