From Menu to Offer
A list of services is a menu. A three-tier package is an offer. Menus make the customer choose. Offers make the customer buy. The difference is structure — a good offer removes the mental work of deciding what they need.
The Three-Tier Structure
Basic ($500) — "Get Started"
- 1 custom beat (WAV + mp3)
- 1 round of revisions
- 30-second phone check-in
- Delivery within 7 days
Standard ($1,500) — "Most Popular" ★
- 3 custom beats (WAV + trackouts)
- 3 rounds of revisions
- Mixing and mastering included
- 15-minute discovery call
- 30-day follow-up and refinements
- Priority delivery within 5 days per track
Premium ($3,500) — "Full Album"
- 8-10 custom tracks
- Unlimited revisions
- Full mixing + mastering of each track
- Brand congruency strategy session
- Priority support via direct line
- Distribution guidance and playlist pitching
Why the Middle Tier Wins
The Standard tier is your profit center. Basic exists to show that cheap means limited. Premium exists to make Standard look reasonable by comparison. This is the decoy effect — people compare options against each other, not against abstract value.

- Always show three tiers (people compare, they don't evaluate prices in isolation)
- Label the middle tier "Most Popular" or "Best Value" to anchor the decision
- Price the tiers so Standard is 2-3x Basic, and Premium is 2-3x Standard
- Add a "Book a Discovery Call" button on each tier — never put a "Buy Now" on high-ticket packages
Package Naming
Do not use generic names like Basic/Standard/Premium. Use benefit-driven names: "Starter Pack," "Artist Development," "Label Ready." Each name should signal increasing commitment, quality, and results. The name is the first thing they read — make it promise something they want.
