Re: Should I show the price for high valued goods on my web site
This is an isuue I have had to deal with...
Unless you are a wholesale site and directing potiential retail customers to your distributors sites.... (thats what I do on Arkahdia Arts and the other sites)
There are 3 other reasons you should be showing price:
1) If you do not post the price of the items the perception is that you may have a sliding price which you give different customers different quotes just your based on the perceived value of thier willingness to pay and the depth of their pockets.
Extremely predatory and bad.
2) You may not actually be equipted to sell the product and are just a middle man who has to get the price from some one else when a prospect comes in.
3) Finally you will get alot of false postitives, these are lookie loos who ask alot of questions who disappear only when they find out the price wasting alot of your time.
This can be as high as 20 worthless leads to 1 good one and if your a bad offline closer or having a bad day you will be in alot of trouble.
The final reason is the reason I am putting sample custom projects with pricing for clients to prevent this exact problem...
