World Pricing Day Take Aways

September 15, 2022

World Pricing Day Webinar took place for the first time on the 9th of September 2022 with hundreds of attendees. Do you know why the event is scheduled for 9.9.? It’s because of the very common psychological pricing strategy that we come across every day. Pricing 0.99 is frequently encountered in the world of ecommerce, where we are all also consumers. We are very proud and happy to host the first World Pricing Day event. The excitement of the preparation and dedication to gathering precious experts together was a pleasure for us. From the beginning to the end of the event, we are thankful for everyone who participated and helped to perform informative sessions & pricing environment.

This world map shows the locations of Prisync users all around the world. Prisync and pricing automation are everywhere. It was a great source of happiness for us to meet many people from different locations on World Pricing Day. We hope to hold this event, perhaps face-to-face and in a different location next year. Why not…

Explaining the importance of pricing and emphasizing it at every point has always been a goal for Prisync. Because in fact, we are all very aware of this as customers, but it is not always easy to take some steps in this regard as business owners. That’s why this webinar is to talk about both pricing strategies and pricing closely: Why Pricing Matters?, How to Attract & Hire Pricing Talent, How to Grow in Ecommerce with the Power of Psychological Pricing?, Holistic Commercial Excellence, The Most Common & Primary Ecommerce Pricing Strategies and What B2B can learn from B2C were designed around both learning and having a good time.

 Let’s take a look at all the sessions:
