At current prices, the brand sits in mid-range territory — competing with The Ordinary on price while trying to compete with Drunk Elephant on positioning. That gap is costing significant revenue and brand credibility. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ PHASE 3 — GOOD / BETTER / BEST TIERS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ GOOD TIER — Entry Level Products: Cleanser + Toner Recommended price: $28 / $32 Role: Low barrier first purchase for customers discovering the brand. Exclude: Hero actives and premium packaging — keep it simple to justify the gap to Better tier. Copy: "Start your routine — clean slate, clean skin." BETTER TIER — Core Offer ⭐ Products: Face serum + Moisturiser Recommended price: $58 / $48 Role: This is the complete daily routine — the combination most customers actually need. What makes it obvious: these two together replace 3-4 products from other brands; the serum/moisturiser duo is the brand's hero offering and should be positioned as such. Copy: "Your complete daily routine. Two products. Nothing else needed." BEST TIER — Premium Products: Full routine kit (all 5 products) Recommended price: $188 (vs $188 individually — position as complete system, not a discount) Role: Price anchor that makes individual purchases feel accessible; also captures buyers who want the full system. What justifies it: premium packaging, full routine guidance, perceived exclusivity of the complete collection. Copy: "The complete system. Every step. Every day." TIER RATIONALE: This tier structure mirrors how Drunk Elephant successfully positioned its full routine as aspirational while keeping individual products accessible. The "Better" tier — serum and moisturiser — does the heavy lifting because it's the combination most aligned with your target customer's existing routine behaviour. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ PHASE 4 — BUNDLE & ANCHOR STRATEGY ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ BUNDLE 1 — The Daily Ritual Products: Cleanser + Toner + Moisturiser Individual total: $108 Bundle price: $88 Saving displayed: "Save $20" Psychological trigger: Completion (morning routine feels incomplete without all three) Placement: Product page for each individual item BUNDLE 2 — The Transformation Duo Products: Face serum + Eye cream Individual total: $100 Bundle price: $82 Saving displayed: "Save $18 — treat your whole face" Psychological trigger: Value + targeted benefit pairing Placement: Cart page when serum is added BUNDLE 3 — The Full Routine Products: All 5 products Individual total: $188 Bundle price: $158 Saving displayed: "Save $30 — everything your skin needs" Psychological trigger: Scarcity + completion ("your complete routine, nothing left out") Placement: Homepage hero + checkout upsell PRICE ANCHORING TACTICS Tactic 1 — Comparison anchor: "Professional facial treatments: $120 per session. This serum: $58 per month." Tactic 2 — Crossed-out price: Display $75 crossed out next to $58 on the serum (reference the spa/salon equivalent, not a fake original price) Tactic 3 — Cost-per-day framing: "$58 serum = $1.93 per day for visibly younger skin." ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ PHASE 5 — COMPETITIVE POSITIONING & QUICK WINS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ COMPETITIVE GAP ANALYSIS Missed revenue: Face serum at $45 sits $10-30 below Paula's Choice and Drunk Elephant equivalents with no strategic reason — this alone is leaving significant margin on the table. Conversion risk: None identified — current prices are below market, not above. The risk is brand perception, not conversion. Biggest opportunity: Raising the serum to $58 and positioning it as the hero product with a full before/after campaign would reframe the entire brand at minimal conversion cost. TOP 3 QUICK WINS Quick Win 1: Change: Raise face serum from $45 to $58 Why it works: Customers associate higher serum prices with higher active concentration — $45 signals mid-range to a premium-seeking buyer Expected impact: Higher AOV + improved brand perception Implementation: Easy — single price change Quick Win 2: Change: Add cost-per-day framing to all product pages Why it works: $1.93/day is psychologically painless vs $58 as a lump sum for health-conscious buyers who already spend on wellness Expected impact: Conversion rate improvement on fence-sitters Implementation: Easy — copy change only Quick Win 3: Change: Launch The Transformation Duo bundle at $82 on the serum product page Why it works: Eye cream is likely an impulse add — pairing it at the point of serum decision captures buyers already committed to a skincare investment Expected impact: AOV increase of 40-50% on serum purchasers Implementation: Easy — bundle setup in Shopify ONE-LINE PRICING SUMMARY: You are pricing a premium brand at mid-range rates — every product is underpriced by $8-$15, and the fastest revenue gain available requires no new products, no new customers, just the confidence to charge what the brand is worth.
