Let me just start off by saying that I'm not competition for anyone on here, so no worries (Very little competition in my immediate area)
(and I was a member here in the past, it's just been awhile though so I couldn't remember my original login)
This is a pretty long post, so I'll take ANY input from anyone who is nice enough to read it
So, here's my conundrum:
I'm looking to price for residential customers and small businesses (with a little bit of cheap advertising - small fliers/newspaper ads, etc) and need to set some pseudo-flat-rate prices for installations + equipment..
So the ad could read something like "$XXX for system + free installation!"
There will be flexibility in the pricing and equipment, but I just need a starting point. (Probably mostly in the middle-class income bracket)
The equipment for the lowest tiers will likely be just good quality generic consumer equipment.
So I guess it really boils down to:
How should I package the bundles for each tier (4-camera packages? Individual camera pricing? etc)
and How should I price them
This is a totally random example, but I picture it reading something along the lines of:
"One Camera - $XX"
"One HD Remote controlled camera w/ DVR - $XX" [ie Foscam PTZ w/ SD slot]
"4-camera system + DVR - $XX" (+$XX additional camera)
"4-Camera HD 1080p + DVR - $XX" (+$XX additional camera)
If anyone actually took the time to skim this, thanks
