Inquiries and Responses: Timing for Software Sale
In an ongoing effort to provide insightful and concise content, we're proud to present the "Three Questions and Answers" series. This innovative approach aims to address IT challenges in a straightforward manner, offering valuable insights to our readers.
One such challenge lies in the complex world of software pricing. The value-based approach to software pricing is based on the concrete benefits provided to the customer, creating a traceable pricing structure. This method ensures that customers understand the worth of the product they are investing in.
Software pricing is influenced by various factors, including market trends, competitive analyses, and the input of pricing experts. The competition serves as a reference frame for software pricing, determining whether a product justifies a premium positioning or should be priced in the mid-range.
To make the most of marketing opportunities, software should be launched at the right time. This means it should fulfill clear use cases, have a short amortisation period, be user-friendly, and offer relevant features for sales, marketing, or customer service. Trends in software pricing include the integration of AI support, personalised offers, automation, and flexible billing models that are tailored to the actual benefit and ROI for the customer.
Understanding the acceptance of different pricing models within the respective target group and market is crucial. Our experience shows that almost all software companies have adjusted their pricing structure at least once over time.
