Imo..... lowering prices may have a very good effect in the current state of economy. I made that decision a while back, I know people are having less to spent then they used to and raising my prices wouldn't be doing anyone good at all. Neither would keeping my prices the same, since I know as well as everyone else, my $1 will not get me what it used to get me before. Here in Europe there's a tendecy for a while now..... while prices of gas and electricity have been rising, supermarkets have been lowering their prices and prices of electronics, luxury goods and cars are going down to entice people to still buy.

 

Poser content are luxury goods, I don't need them to survive, yes I know it's addicting, but still...... As a small vendor I have a few choices, raise prices, do nothing or lower them. I've done the lowering, making sure the prices are very attractive and if you see them you're not going to ask yourself if you can afford them or not. This way over the years I've been able to expand my business. My sales haven't dropped at all, they are very steady and never go below a certain amount and over the last 2 years have become more instead of less. In spite of me lowering my prices at least 50%. Worked out very well and I know what would have happened if I hadn't done that, I would not be selling content anymore, but moved on. This isn't a easy market to survive in and i'm just thankful and grateful that my business has grown over the years. I'm not getting all the support and opportunities that top sellers and the bigger names do get. I don't have all the resources to put into advertising as they can do. As many other small vendors it's a huge struggle to keep the doors open, but it is possible, but not without a drastic change of ways and even then, succes isn't guarenteed.
