FAQs: Pricing & Localization

Companies should avoid copy-paste global pricing. Effective localization means:

  • Adapting prices to purchasing power.

  • Offering tiered pricing (freemium, mid-tier, premium).

  • Supporting local payment methods (e-wallets, COD).

  • Bundling with mobile data plans or telco subscriptions, common in SEA.

  • Using USD-only pricing without local currency.

  • Setting prices too high, alienating mass consumers.

  • Ignoring hidden costs like VAT, import duties, or transaction fees.

  • Failing to test promotional models (discounts, flash sales).

In Thailand and Vietnam, consumers value promotions and bundles; in Singapore, reliability and brand prestige matter more. Indonesian buyers expect affordable entry tiers. Understanding cultural value drivers is essential to optimize willingness to pay.

Best practices include:

  • A/B testing via digital ads and landing pages.

  • Running pilot launches in one metro area before scaling.

  • Partnering with marketplaces to gather fast consumer feedback.

  • Using geo-targeted campaigns during shopping festivals.

SaaS models must offer monthly billing, not just annual. Mobile-first payment collection (wallets, QR code payments) is critical. Tiered plans should accommodate SMEs and startups that make up most of SEA’s economy.
