  • Pricing Psychology: The Secret to Charging More & Selling Faster
    Aug 9 2025

    💰 Want to grow your revenue by up to 25% — without a single new customer?


    In this powerful episode of The Marketing Podcast for Local Businesses, Adam and Josh reveal how small changes in your pricing strategy can lead to massive profit gains.

    What You’ll Learn:

    ✅ How “anchor pricing” tricks the brain — and why Apple, gyms, and builders use it

    ✅ When premium pricing increases sales instead of reducing them

    ✅ How dynamic pricing can maximise revenue — even for local services
