Advice needed about pricing, simple or complex
I have pricing all figure out for my new business, but I'm wondering if I'm making it too complicated. I've been in business most of my life and math was always my best subject, so numbers to me are like baking to a chef.
Most prices I've seen on other websites are very simple, but when deciding on my prices I was thinking about how parents have different needs, like 2 or 3 days a week or 2 or 3 hours a day, so I have pricing for hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly, with prices calculated so parents who only need 3 days a week get a bit cheaper paying daily, or parents who only need short days get cheaper paying by the hour. Billing would obviously be weekly or monthly, but the rate would be whatever works best for the parents. Then of course, the rate is different for different age ranges because babies need more one on one time than older kids.
Is that being too complicated? Have any of you used variable pricing and made it simpler later on? If so, why? Have any of you started too simple and had to make it more variable later on?
