Make Customers Happy: Charge Them More
Okay, I'm being puckish -- anyone in business knows that customers constantly argue for a better deal. But in at least some contexts, like buying wine, people feel better about what they buy if it costs more. That's the gist of what's called the price-placebo effect, reported...
