Ripped off or real value?
Last game of the season we are going to go to. We don’t go very often, maybe 4 or 5 games. Naturally with three young boys it’s a bit of a deal to go to the game.
Great right? You get to be there when the action is happening. You feel the excitement and electricity in the air!
One of my sons was given the tickets as a reward for volunteering to help teachers in the classrooms during his recess. More accurately he asked to volunteer which is pretty impressive but for another time.
My wife and I rearranged our schedule to accommodate the game. We remembered that another of our sons was itching for a hot dog so when there we stopped at the hot dog stand and ordered 5 italian sausages; their eyes got bigger when they saw those of course!
$6 each! Man the guy at the corner ripped me off at 4.75. These guys are getting me good because I’m at the stadium and am obviously not going to leave. Man what a rip!
I bought them, ate them and added to the whole experience. That is the point.
I really didn’t care that I had to spend such a high price for something I could get cheaper somewhere else because I wouldn’t have had the experience I had at the stadium.
As online marketers, people can easily feel ripped off with our products and service. We need to market the experience or life style that the product or service will offer them.
I didn’t feel ripped off for the hot dogs once I concidered the whole experience I was buying.
Probably their rent alone requires the higher prices and is justified. That doesn’t matter to their customers. It’s their problem.
Remember, as network marketers, we are not selling products and services to fill our wallets. We are helping people to better their lives by providing value – real value.
