The online platform gives much stress to a marketing component: Price. The consumer is empowered more than ever and can search for the lowest prices in the comfort of his home.

This then raises a question to you, the internet businessman. Should you display the prices of your products and services online?

Here are my guidelines:

1. Understand that by putting a price, you are priming your web reader to go look for another site to compare your prices against his.
2. If you decide to put a price, ensure that you state accompanying benefits which are hard to imitate. Saying “Best deals in town” is just a matter of copy and paste. Stating your qualifications and track record is another thing altogether.
3. Ensure that when prices are stated, you also display mechanisms on the site which allow the reader to make payments without hassle. Provide information on the purchasing. The logic is that you’ve displayed the price, and you’re now attempting to sell your pricing via your smooth transaction processes too.
4. If you’re bold enough, display price list comparisons. Focus on the intangible services.

If you’re unsure of whether you should state your pricing, google up your competitors and see if they state their prices.
