Value-based pricing
Understand why implementation: (1) Quantify customer value (ask: what does this problem cost them without your solution?), (2) Price at 10-30% of that value (you get fair return; customer gets 70-90% of the value as savings), (3) Communicate the calculation explicitly ('This will save you X — I charge Y').
In this lesson
Value-based pricing is part of Pricing Strategy Lab. This preview shows how entrepreneurship-lab connects to everyday family decisions such as earning, saving, spending choices, goals, approvals, or parent-guided money conversations inside Progress Penguin.
Today’s money mission
Imagine this situation: You tutor a student for JAMB. They get into University of your city (saving their parents 2000000 in local currency in private university fees). You charged 30000 in local currency for 3 months.
What you need to know
Implementation: (1) Quantify customer value (ask: what does this problem cost them without your solution?), (2) Price at 10-30% of that value (you get fair return; customer gets 70-90% of the value as savings), (3) Communicate the calculation explicitly ('This will save you X — I charge Y'). Customers who understand value pay without resistance.
Real-life example
Real-life money moment: You design logos. Current price: 5000 in local currency/logo. A client's business generates 500000 in local currency/month. A strong logo increases customer trust and drives 10% more conversions = 50000 in local currency/month additional revenue = 600000 in local currency/year.
