Pricing Studies and Internet Economics
We pay our bills with the Internet. We register our personal information with web sites. We purchase our needs and wants on the Internet. People will buy because it is easy to click from home in your pajamas at 3am. No matter what economic downturn may be aloft. There's the economy and then there's the Internet economy. Internet economics includes the economics of doing business from the proprietary point of view as well as the user point of view. Pricing those economics is the tough part. You have to work to establish the demand for your product, figure out how to use that demand to increase revenue, and work with your niche to establish pricing policy while adhering to pricing regulations.
