Price localization isn’t just a business strategy — it’s the cornerstone of global success that can make or break your international expansion.
I have been a studying Game Developers as a hobby for 4 years.
Game Development is not a get rich as quickly as possible kind of journey. Many developers think they can charge large quantities of their games for the sake of it and get angry when in countries with less strong economies pirate their game-keeping in check this kind of nasty practices.
Piracy is not a sin but a reaction to evil and aggressive monetization practices.
Reason #1: Increased Accessibility.
Adjusting the prices of your games, taking into account the local currency of the country and the situation of his economy, can reduce or eliminate the need to many players to pirate your creations-creating a very loyal community that understands that you respect your player base.
Reason #2: Higher Sales Volume.
With an affordable pricing in regions with lower purchasing power can lead to increased sales volumes, as more customers are likely to buy the product when it’s priced within their means.
In some cases, a significant amount of your earning could come from a third world country.
Reason #3: Competitive Edge.
With affordable prices you can give your games a more competitive advantage over global competitors who may not adjust their pricing, making your products to standout of 99% of other games.
Reason #4: Enhanced Customer Loyalty.
When customers feel that a company understands and respects their economic situation, they are more likely to develop a long-term loyalty to the brand, leading to repeat purchases and long-term customer relationships.
## Reason #5: Cultural Sensitivity
This business decision demonstrates an understanding of the cultural and economic diversity of different regions, showing that the company values its global audience helping your potential customers to understand that this is a game made by passion and love than for just money.
Reason #6: Optimized Revenue.
By setting prices that are appropriate for each market, companies can maximize revenue by capturing both high-income and low-income segments, rather than adopting a one-size-fits-all pricing strategy that can lead to a significant amount of your prospects to pirate your products-making you lose a lot fo revenue in the process.
Reason #7: Positive Brand Image.
Adapting prices to local conditions can enhance your brand’s reputation as being fair and considerate, fostering a positive perception among global consumers.
