Pricing
Mention the Daily Equivalence
Customers compare this daily value to a reference price, so it feels like a better deal.

Frame your price in daily terms (e.g., $1.60/day) or petty cash expense (e.g., cup of coffee; Gourville, 1998; Gourville, 1999).
But don't exceed $4 per day If you sell a software license for $4200 per year, don't frame your price as $11.50 per day. It will seem more expensive (Gourville, 2003).
That said, college students were the original sample:
...the inflection point for the college students used in this study was somewhere between $4 and $11.50 per day. One could speculate how this inflection point might vary across consumer segments... For a college student, whose typical daily expenses may be in the $1 to $3 range, $10 a day may seem like a daunting sum... for an accomplished business person, $10 per day may still be considered “petty cash” (Gourville, 2003, p. 133)
Perhaps daring marketers could push beyond a daily framing: "Get our new widget for only $0.00003 per second."
