Price Promotion Mechanics Matter

Anchors in Price Promotions

Check out our latest insight! In our previous post, we highlighted how adding super-premium options to the shopper choice set can boost willingness to pay. But did you know the same anchoring effect also applies to price promotions?

Adding an anchor in the price promotion mechanic (think 2 for €5.00) can increase volume uplift by a whopping 32% compared to single unit price offs (1 for 2.49).

This means if retailers and / or consumer packaged goods companies want to drive volume, it makes more sense to deploy multi-buys (2 for 1, buy 3 get 1 for free) compared to temporary price discounts on single products.
