A/B Testing Idea #26 - Use a higher pricing plan as a decoy
Description
Displaying a new pricing plan that is much higher than the others currently offered could be an efficient decoy, worth testing on your site.
Offering a pricing plan that is significantly higher than the middle plan (or whicheve you hope your customers to buy) will make this plan seem much more reasonable and like a good deal in comparison.
People will feel like they are getting better value for money because they are "saving" a lot in comparison to the higher option (decoy).
