This so-called \u201eanchor\u201c shapes price perception and can make an offer appear more attractive than it would without a point of comparison.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Typical examples of anchor pricing include:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<li>Strikethrough original prices in online retail<\/li>\n<li>Premium products as a price benchmark for cheaper alternatives<\/li>\n<li>Comparative offers with different price tiers<\/li>\n<li>Discount promotions based on a higher original price<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This effect stems from the fact that people rarely assess prices in isolation, but instead compare them with an existing reference point. A high anchor price can therefore help to ensure that a subsequent offer is perceived as particularly good value or attractive.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anchor pricing is frequently used in marketing, sales and e-commerce to positively influence purchasing decisions and increase the perceived attractiveness of offers. For start-ups and businesses, the right pricing strategy can be a key factor for success. innoWerft helps to refine business models, better understand customer needs and develop data-driven strategies for positioning, marketing and pricing.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anchor pricing describes a psychological principle in which the first number mentioned - the \"anchor\" - influences the perception of subsequent prices. A high starting price is often deliberately set so that a subsequent offer appears particularly favourable in comparison. Consumers unconsciously orientate themselves towards this reference value, which can strongly influence their price perception and purchasing decisions. This effect is used specifically in marketing and e-commerce, for example by crossing out original prices or comparative offers.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","content-type":"","inline_featured_image":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14030","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-glossareintrag"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Was ist Anchor Pricing und wie beeinflusst es Kaufentscheidungen?
