Go-to-Market Plays #10: The Psychology of Pricing

That “middle” option on a pricing page? It’s not there by accident. It’s there to mess with your brain…in the best way possible. This episode’s guest, Tamara Grominsky, is back to break down one of the sneakiest (and most effective) psychological tools in marketing: price anchoring. From B2B SaaS to steakhouse menus, she shows how marketers use decoy pricing to nudge people toward the offer they actually want you to buy. And, we dig into the difference between setting a price and positioning it, because pricing is more than just a revenue lever. It’s a storytelling tool. Plus, we explore ways you can apply this today by adding decoy tiers, using visual hierarchy, and writing copy that reframes value without touching the numbers. If you’re a marketer who wants to sell more without changing your product, just how it’s perceived, this one’s a masterclass. ActiveCampaign turns your ambition into impact by orchestrating your marketing through Active Intelligence and AI agents - powering your imagination with billions of data points, activating fully-realized campaigns and strategies from your ideas, and validating what works - so you can drive real results.
