Tip of the week

Offer payment plans for your products

Do you offer a coaching program? How about an email course, a week-long retreat, or an event? So much time and work goes into creating and running these kinds of offerings, so it makes sense that they cost more.

Payment plans for big-ticket items help make them more accessible to your customers. And you get to choose how frequently you get paid—monthly, quarterly, or yearly. Learn more about payment plans for your products.

A few things to keep in mind when offering payment plans:

Trust that you’re worth it. We know it can feel intimidating to put a big price tag on your own work. But make sure you’re not selling yourself short when you’re pricing your high-value products. Payment plans mean that your customers can set a payment schedule that works for them and their budget.
Announce payment plans in your product launch emails. Let your customers know up front that they have options when it comes to paying for your products. That way, they won’t get distracted with sticker shock when they click through.
Include discounts. Because who doesn’t love a sale? With payment plans, your discount can be applied to each payment.
