Package Pricing Strategies

Learn how to price your packages competitively while maximizing your earnings.

Pricing Philosophy

Package pricing should balance value for students with fair compensation for you:

Clear Savings

Students should see obvious value compared to single sessions

Sustainable for You

The discount shouldn't undervalue your time significantly

Incentivize Commitment

Larger packages should offer better per-session rates

Recommended Discount Structures

Common discount tiers that work well:

Small Package (4 sessions)

5-10% discount - Low commitment, good for trying out packages

Example: $60/hr → $228 package ($57/session)

Medium Package (8 sessions)

10-15% discount - Popular choice, good balance of value and commitment

Example: $60/hr → $432 package ($54/session)

Large Package (12+ sessions)

15-20% discount - Best value, for serious students

Example: $60/hr → $612 package ($51/session)

Pricing Formula

Calculate your package price:

Package Price = (Hourly Rate × Sessions) × (1 - Discount)

Example:

Hourly rate: $60

Sessions: 8

Discount: 15%

Package Price = ($60 × 8) × 0.85 = $408

Pricing Tips

Use Round Numbers

$400 looks cleaner than $408 - round to clean prices

Show the Savings

Always display the per-session cost and total savings
