Pricing Archives:
I’m gearing up for an insane week at work and school, so the posting will be a little spotty (kinda like last week, sorry about that!). However, I had to take a moment to write a quick post on an interesting pricing scheme that I saw at the carwash the other day. There was a [...]
I’ve been talking a lot lately about how marketers using intel makes me happy, but then I started thinking about who the marketers REALLY want.

However, Sbarro is offering garlic sauce as an upsell for $0.65 per container. After finishing my [...]
