Hi everyone! Jailbird’s story will begin on June 12th! That’s just two weeks from now! Bookmark this page to get ready!
This blog will serve as an update reminder after the comic starts and as a place for me to put anything else Jailbird-related. It’s a handy thing to follow if you don’t want to deal with the extra nonsense on my personal Tumblr!
Well, see you later!

This is known as the Decoy Effect.
[via Wiki] “For example, if there is a consideration set involving MP3 players, consumers will generally see higher storage capacity (number of GB) and lower price as positive attributes; while some consumers may want a player that can store more songs, other consumers will want a player that costs less. In Consideration Set 1, two devices are available:
In this case, some consumers will prefer A for its greater storage capacity, while others will prefer B for its lower price.
Now suppose that a new player, C, is added to the market; it is more expensive than both A and B and has more storage than B but less than A:
The addition of C—which consumers would presumably avoid, given that a lower price can be paid for a model with more storage—causes A, the dominating option, to be chosen more often than if only the two choices in Consideration Set 1 existed; C affects consumer preferences by acting as a basis of comparison for A and B. Because A is better than C in both respects, while B is only partially better than C, more consumers will prefer A now than did before. C is therefore a decoy whose sole purpose is to increase sales of A.
Conversely, suppose that instead of C, a player D is introduced that has less storage than both A and B, and that is more expensive than B but not as expensive as A:
The result here is similar: consumers will not prefer D, because it is not as good as B in any respect. However, whereas C increased preference for A, D has the opposite effect, increasing preference for B.”
You can use this effect to increase your profit margin (or even use it for things not financially-based, as long as the same general parameters apply).
