Based on our saas pricing book, Price to Scale, one effective approach is to treat the introduction of new products as a distinct upsell opportunity—rather than simply tacking new features onto existing bundles. Here are some key strategies recommended:
• Design Separate Upsell Bundles: Instead of altering current bundles, create additional upsell bundles or a granular feature menu exclusively for current customers. This allows customers to take advantage of new features gradually without feeling forced into a new pricing tier.
• Manage Cannibalization Risks: Maintain a graded differentiation between the existing plans and new offerings. This helps prevent existing customers from seeking a lower price alternative or downgrading their plans once they see the new packages.
• Apply Protective Pricing Tactics: To avoid disruptions, consider measures such as:
– Offering higher discounts for current customers,
– Providing different list prices for new packages when sold to existing customers, or
– Implementing explicit no-downgrade policies (ensuring current customers aren’t shown a lower list price than what they already pay).
These strategies not only insulate current pricing but also set the stage for smooth and natural upsell transitions as you expand your product offerings.
In summary, the best way to introduce new products into existing bundles is by creating clear, separate upsell paths that respect your current pricing structures and prevent cannibalization, allowing you to roll out additional value without disturbing the established customer experience.
