For those professionals earning a higher salary the value of a productive start to their work week increases correspondingly. Assuming the target market is middle to upper income families the target price, from this value-based standpoint, could be $200 or more. Parents would be willing to have their sleep schedules predictable to make sure their work weeks were started productively...
