I'm most interested in the comments about the effect of lowering the price to 99c. Personally the price point and ease of purchase is key for me; I'll pay up to the cost of a cup of coffee for something if I think it will entertain me for a few minutes.
As soon as the price point is over a cup of coffee I need to think for a little bit if I care enough to buy something, and most of the time I don't think it's worth the mental effort of deciding if I want something enough at that point.
(As an interesting side note, indie PC games can cost two cups of coffee before I need to think about their purchase. That's just the valuation I fell into without planning.)
- awj 16y agoYeah, in that respect the choice of 99c is interesting. Amazon switches from taking 70% of the price to taking 30% of the price at $2.99. Granted, we're now coming down to "what do you mean by coffee", but that's still less than your average somethingacchino at starbucks.
