Priming is the process of exposing a person to subtle
cues or context that can affect their behavior.
1.Prime ‘em Good Baby
Rearrange your products in such a
way that the most expensive offering
appears first, which is only meant to
prime the buyer’s mind into
expecting more large ticket items on
the menu.

2. The Ugly Betty Effect
Offer three versions of the almost same product.
Ugly Betty: Cheap and barely functional which no one wants or likes
Option 2: Purposely priced to be nauseatingly expensive
Option 3: Natural choice for any rational human being
The comparison is actually only between your version and the uber-expensive
version, Ugly Betty is just a decoy which is meant to make your version seem like a
steal and gives the buyer a feeling that he is making rational, well thought-out
decision.

3. The Art of Discount and the
Idiot Effect
People prefer getting something extra to getting something cheaper because most people
are useless at fractions and mathematics. So even though “Buy one get one free” or “50%
off a bundle of items?” seem like the same thing to you, to most people, former is a better
option.

When offering discounts, try offering an add-on
instead of a percentage off

To sum up
Employ the power of priming by using an overpriced (by your
standards) item as an anchor or rearrange the products to have the
more expensive ones appear first.
Apply the Ugly Betty effect by using a cheaper, unattractive but similar
option next to the one you want to sell.
When offering discounts, try offering an add-on instead of a
percentage off. Let your buyers save their precious grey matter for
punching in the credit card information instead of doing fractions and
percentages.
