Disruptive Pricing Models — Beyond the One-Time Sale

Most hardware companies are stuck in a "Burn and Churn" cycle: Sell a product, hope it lasts just long enough for the customer to buy the next one, and pray the margins cover the marketing.

At Coboggi, we challenge this. When you build with aerospace-grade aluminum and 2025-standard finishes, your product doesn't just "last"—it holds its value. This enables Disruptive Pricing Models that can 3x your Customer Lifetime Value (CLV).


1. Hardware-as-a-Service (HaaS)

If your product is built to last 10 years instead of 2, why sell it once?

  • The Strategy: Instead of a $1,000 one-time purchase, you offer a $49/month subscription that includes software updates and a hardware "refresh" every 3 years.

  • The Coboggi Advantage: Because our aluminum housings are so durable, you can "Refurbish" a returned unit with a simple re-anodizing or a new faceplate and lease it again.

  • The Result: The same piece of aluminum generates revenue for a decade.


2. The "Buy-Back" and Circular Economy

In 2025, consumers are hyper-aware of waste. A "disposable" plastic product is a brand liability.

  • The Strategy: Offer a guaranteed "Buy-Back" price. Because a Coboggi-engineered chassis is high-purity aluminum, it has high scrap and reuse value.

  • The ROI: You secure the customer for their next purchase by giving them "store credit" for their old device, which you then recycle or resell.

3. Tiered Premium Pricing

Don't let "Cost-Plus" pricing limit your growth.

  • The Strategy: Use the finish to dictate the price tier, not just the internals.

  • The Execution: A "Standard" bead-blasted model vs. a "Signature" Diamond-Cut, Mirror-Polished model. The internal electronics are the same, but the perceived value of the exterior allows for a 40% price premium.

  • The Business Logic: You capture the "Value-Conscious" and the "Ultra-Premium" markets using the same production line.


4. Lowering the "Barrier to Entry"

High-quality aluminum usually means a high price tag, which can scare off new customers.

  • The Disruptive Fix: Use a leasing model enabled by the product's high "Residual Value." Since the hardware doesn't degrade, banks and financing partners are more willing to offer low-interest payment plans to your customers.

  • The Outcome: You get a premium product into more hands without lowering your brand's prestige.


Conclusion: Hardware is the New Software

By building with the precision of Coboggi, you aren't just making a "thing." You are creating a financial asset. Whether through HaaS, high resale value, or tiered luxury, your hardware becomes a platform for long-term, sustainable wealth.
