Hi
The 3 more relevant pricing models in this case would be:
1. competitive Pricing - comparing the prices of your competitors and then setting your price accordingly (if you are new in the market, then perhaps lower. If you have a 'brand name' then perhaps higher).
2. Value pricing - basing the price based on the value that the course gives your clients (in THEIR eyes).
3. Bundle pricing - combining numerous services/products under one price tag - this gives a feeling of added value for the clients/customers.
In this case, I would combine the value method + the competitor pricing. If possible, try ask clients what they would be willing to pay (offer at least 3 options, all of which are ok for you). You can either ask them directly (at least the first group), or you can setup a 3 different landing pages (Wix) with 3 different prices, and see how people respond to each price. I am happy to explain more on this if you need.

Few of the easiest ways....
1. Effective case studies - multiple case studies showing how you solved major problems for other clients.
2. Celebrity endorsements - get co-signed by a notable figure will INSTANTLY boost your credibility and you can charge a premium price.
3. Media Coverage - getting into the media is EASY. Get featured on major media outlets like fox, hgtv, etc and then can advertise your services "as seen on tv"
There is lots of other ways too. I'm standing by if you want to pop on a quick call.
buddy a self defense is a unique art that not everyone practice if you want to price a premium service it just requires a little plan like you can offer a diet plan free.there are some other tips that can be useful. you can call me
The first thing is to value what you do not from self defence but from proactive sense that gives the best and asks for their worth
Become a Premium Provider. Stick with the premium level of service if you plan to maintain your premium pricing strategy. Help your customers understand why your prices are higher. If you know how competitors are undercutting your prices, and you feel the competitors' lower cost equates to poorer quality or service, explain this difference. You would be surprised how many business owners declare they offer superior service simply because their people are friendly. I heard one business traveller’s tale about a trip to a Florida hotel. A member of the housekeeping staff at the hotel saw my friend approaching the elevator. While my friend was still 70 feet away, the staff member pressed the elevator button and held it open until he arrived. Just explain why your product or service is worth the investment but be a little flexible for long-time customers. Give employees freedom in dealing with customers, but make sure they know which customers are worthy of special treatment. Another disadvantage to playing the discount game is that this strategy is the fastest way to push your product or service into the commodity category. The challenge is to create and sustain a brand that supports your premium pricing strategy. The smaller, newer company, run by an entrepreneur, submitted a bid for $4,800. The more established AC company, celebrating its 30th anniversary, submitted a bid for nearly $5,300. While offering significant savings, the entrepreneur did not realize he was competing based on both price and permanence. The entrepreneur would have won the business if he had projected more stability.

How can I convince customers that we offer a fair price if we're providing a new service that does not yet exist?
What you are asking for has one simple answer: Marketing. I assume however that you would want a more specific how to guide for such marketing efforts. I won't venture in giving you a ton of possible irrelevant examples but I would like start our conversation by saying that if there is no market demand and you do have a clever useful product you need to market the emotional need and consider why it hasn't been served. When you find that this is what you leverage.HV

How do I raise my prices without losing customers?
Here's three tips: 1. Increase the value you provide more than the price. If you want to lift prices by 10%, give 20% more value. 2. Rename you products. This will remove the association with the legacy pricing. 3. Craft an awesome pricing communications strategy. I've had clients that have done both 1 & 2 above, then finished the communication to customers about those changes with the line "we understand if you need to go elsewhere" and they have never lost clients. Good luck!JM

Does odd pricing turn you off (e.g., $29 vs $30)?
For me personally, no. However, what you really need is a larger data set. Gumroad just did a post on prices ending in "9": http://blog.gumroad.com/post/64417917582/a-penny-saved-psychological-pricing 37signals started with prices that ended in 9: http://37signals.com/svn/posts/1287-ask-37signals-how-did-you-come-up-with-pricing-for-your-products ... but they later did research and found it didn't matter (for them). The answer for YOU will likely be to test these things for yourself on your SaaS app.JJ

Has anyone increased SaaS subscription pricing by 100% and lived to tell the tale?
Many well-known SaaS companies have doubled their prices. I've personally worked with a few that have gone through it. In most cases, your conversion rates stay the same and you see a huge jump in revenue. This is because people tend to under-price themselves. Also, your product improves over time so it provides more value and can support a higher price. But don't raise prices for old customers. Grandfather them in so their plans stay the same price. In the long run, it won't make a difference to your growth since most of them will churn out anyway. If you raise prices on current customers, you'll get a huge backlash. It gets nasty. I'm pretty sure that Zendesk tried it and had to reverse the price increase. I highly recommend raising your price by 100% for a month on new customers. Keep a close eye on your revenue and your conversion rates. If things don't go well, you can easily reverse it and discount everyone that paid for the more expensive plan. Either way, you'll know what your market will actually support.LL
