FAQ
The Van Westendorp PSM uses four pricing questions to measure how consumers perceive price. It identifies the Optimum Price Point, Indifference Price Point, and Range of Acceptable Prices by analyzing where the Too Cheap, Cheap, Expensive, and Too Expensive curves intersect. It's one of the most widely used pricing research methods in market research.
The Optimum Price Point is where the Too Cheap and Too Expensive curves cross. It represents the price at which the fewest respondents object on either end — too cheap or too expensive. This is typically the best price for maximizing purchase intent across your target market.
The Range of Acceptable Prices spans from the Point of Marginal Cheapness (PMC) to the Point of Marginal Expensiveness (PME). PMC is where Too Cheap meets Cheap; PME is where Expensive meets Too Expensive. Any price within this range is psychologically acceptable to your target market.
The graph plots four cumulative percentage curves. The Too Cheap curve drops as price increases. The Cheap curve also drops but starts from a lower point. The Expensive curve rises with price. The Too Expensive curve rises from a higher base. Where Too Cheap and Too Expensive cross = OPP. Where Cheap and Expensive cross = IDP.
For statistically significant results, aim for 50-100 responses per target segment. More responses create smoother, more reliable curves. This tool simulates the Van Westendorp model using your price inputs as central tendencies — combine it with real survey data for production pricing decisions.
