Sometimes even a few cents can have a big impact on sales. Case in point: American Express Publishing tested three price points for one of its publications. Three of the prices were within 5 cents of each other. The biggest range in price was 50 cents. But the results were significant.

Test:  Starting with a control price of $19.95, American Express compared these three price points to its control price.

  • $19.97
  • $19.99
  • $19.49

Before you read on, can you guess which one resulted in better sales?

Results:  If you guessed $19.99 you are right! Offered at that price, compared to the control price of $19.95, the price of $19.99 resulted in 10% better sales. The worst price point was actually the lowest price: $19.49.
