What Your Families Think of Your Pricing | Ep 224

In this episode, Dave shares insights into the psychology behind
pricing and customer perception, particularly in the context of
music lessons. People often have a vague idea about the cost of
music lessons, influenced by factors like convenience,
reputation, and social validation.


Music school owners sometimes mistakenly set prices based on
their own financial perspective rather than their customers'
ability to pay. Dave emphasizes the importance of understanding
that clients may value music lessons differently, seeing them
either as a commodity or as a transformative experience for their
child.


Dave advises music school owners to price confidently, reflecting
the quality and value of the lessons they offer, and to use
pricing as a tool to communicate this value. He argues that small
price increases generally do not deter customers if they
understand the value they're receiving, suggesting that
effectively communicating the benefits and quality of music
education can justify higher prices and attract clients who
prioritize their child's development.
