Innocent - Reaction to iPhone launch

As a passionate, "hungry and foolish", storyteller, right-brained, wannabe copywriter who thinks outside the box, I'm looking for talented, enthusiastic art director/advertising design and film students or juniors, with similar qualities and ambitions as me: http://about.me/rolandszelindi, mainly in London, UK (or thanks to the internet, practically, anywhere in the world) to work on joint projects (from my portfolio, full of kick-ass advertising and branding ideas, crazy creative ideas and short stories, copies, slogans, commercial and film scripts, or via joint brainstormings) to get into the industry together and make our dreams come true of working at a cool ad agency.

Please, contact me if you recognize yourself by these lines, if you know someone, or if you could help me somehow! Thank you for reading this and also for your help in advance! Have a nice day! Cheers, Roland

People were offered 2 kinds of beer: premium beer for $2.50 and bargain beer for $1.80. Around 80% chose the more expensive beer.

Now a third beer was introduced, a super bargain beer for $1.60 in addition to the previous two. Now 80% bought the $1.80 beer and the rest $2.50 beer. Nobody bought the cheapest option.

Third time around, they removed the $1.60 beer and replaced with a super premium $3.40 beer. Most people chose the $2.50 beer, a small number $1.80 beer and arounf 10% opted for the most expensive $3.40 beer. Some people will always buy the most expensive option, no matter the price.

You can influence people’s choice by offering different options. Old school sales people also say that offering different price point options will make people choose between your plans, instead of choosing whether to buy your product or not.

How to test it: Try offering 3 packages, and if there is something you really want to sell, make it the middle option.
