Podcast Ep 383 - How to Charge Premium Prices (and Feel Confident Doing It)
Tuesday, 14 October, 2025

In this episode of the Flourish Academy Podcast, host Heather Lahtinen and guest Nicole Begley dive into the power of selling an experience rather than just a product. Using the viral success of the Jellycat Diner in New York as a real-world case study, they unpack how scarcity, storytelling, and elevated presentation can transform something ordinary into something highly desirable and premium-priced. Heather and Nicole connect these lessons directly to the photography industry—showing photographers how they can use experience-driven marketing to raise prices, attract premium clients, and build a loyal community. Whether you’ve ever hesitated to charge more or simply want to build a luxury brand, this conversation will shift the way you think about value. Show Notes: Why focusing on experience matters more than the product itself Nicole’s story of trying to book the Jellycat Diner How Jellycat created scarcity and desire around stuffed animals The psychology of “perceived value” and pricing Overcoming mindset blocks about being “overpaid” How to translate luxury selling into your own business How to Support the Podcast: Subscribe to the podcast on iTunes or wherever you listen to podcasts.
