18 Pricing Models - Individual Titles Firmly believe that online should be available separately from print: –Online Only = 90% of Print Price –Combined = 110% of Print Price Advantages of separating print & online pricing: –More choice for the customer –Measure the rate of transition from print to online –Passes on cost savings to online only subscribers –Online “Free” with print penalises paper subscribers
