🍿 Why Do Movie Theaters Offer 3 Popcorn Sizes to Increase Sales?
At the cinema, you’re often faced with three popcorn options: small, medium, and large. This pricing structure is intentionally crafted to steer customer choices and drive up sales value:
The small size sets a base for comparison.
The medium is marketed as the best value.
The large is priced just slightly above the medium, making it seem like a better deal.
This “three-tier” model is a classic sales technique known as the anchoring effect. It pushes customers toward the mid-range or premium choice, thereby boosting the average sale value.
🍫 Why Adding KitKat Balls Increases Popcorn Sales
Cinemas don’t stop at popcorn; they also offer snacks like KitKat Balls. But why?
Complementary Effect: KitKat Balls or other treats complement the popcorn, making customers more likely to buy both. This increases total volume of sales.
Higher Average Spend: By adding complementary products, cinemas boost the average spend per customer.
📈 How to Apply Cinema Strategies to Boost Your Sales on MYM Fans and Patreon
You can apply these same strategies on platforms like MYM Fans to increase both your volume and value of sales:
Offer Multiple Subscription Tiers:
Create three tiers of subscription (Patreon) or content bundles (MYM Fans):
Basic: Access to regular content.
Intermediate: Regular content plus some exclusive content.
Premium: Full access to all content, including VIP exclusives and direct interactions.
➡️ This structure nudges fans toward the intermediate or premium options, lifting your average subscription value.
Provide Complementary Content Options:
Private Media: Sell exclusive photos or videos as optional add-ons.
VIP Club: Create a VIP club with additional perks for top fans (VIP club strategy in my course).
Personalized Interactions: Offer extras like private chats, personalized messages, or video calls.
➡️ These items work like the KitKat Balls at the cinema—they complement the main offer (your subscription) and encourage fans to spend more, boosting sales volume.
Using Price Anchoring:
Highlight the premium option by creating special offers or bundles. For example, “The VIP subscription is only €5 more than the intermediate option.”
This makes fans feel like they’re getting a great deal by choosing the higher tier.
Conclusion: The Popcorn Strategy for MYM Fans
Just like cinemas use popcorn and snacks to drive up sales, you can use tiered offers and complementary content on MYM Fans to maximize revenue. The aim is to anchor prices and encourage fans to choose higher-value options while enriching their experience with added bonuse
