In this one‑minute Money Minute segment, the speaker explains a simple pricing tactic called price anchoring. By adding a third product that is significantly more expensive than the two existing offerings—yet only slightly differentiated—you create a decoy. This makes the original higher‑priced option appear more reasonable, prompting more customers to choose it. The speaker notes that roughly one in ten customers will purchase the ultra‑expensive decoy, while the presence of that decoy shifts many more buyers toward the higher‑priced of the original two options, ultimately increasing overall revenue.
