Summary from the TLDR Marketing newsletter

More than half of customers who consider a low-price option ultimately trade up when offered clear, tiered choices that differentiate value. This underscores the effectiveness of good, better, best pricing strategies, which highlight product value and allow businesses to serve price-sensitive customers without undermining premium offerings. During periods of economic uncertainty, marketers can use this structure not just to defend margins but also to influence buyer psychology, emphasizing long-term value and giving customers a sense of control without defaulting to broad price cuts.
