Annual Price Increase Notice to Clients — Keep Them Without Losing Them

Write a price increase notice from [BUSINESS_NAME] to clients informing them of a [INCREASE_AMOUNT] price increase effective [EFFECTIVE_DATE]. Details: - Business: [BUSINESS_NAME] - Increase amount: [INCREASE_AMOUNT] (e.g., 8%, $25/month, from $X to $Y) - Effective date: [EFFECTIVE_DATE] - Reason (be honest): [REASON] - What's improved or being added: [VALUE_ADDS] - Early sign-off option (if applicable): [LOCK_IN_OFFER] - How to ask questions/discuss: [CONTACT_METHOD] Write 3 versions: 1. Service retainer clients (agencies, consultants): More personal, relationship-focused 2. Product customers (retail, e-commerce): Shorter, direct, clear on new pricing 3. Long-term clients specifically (2+ years): Acknowledge loyalty, may offer a modest loyalty exception For all: - Announce with confidence, not apology (apologizing for a reasonable price increase undermines it) - Give 30-60 days notice (90 for annual retainers) - State the new price clearly and early - Acknowledge what they're getting for the increase - Make responding easy if they have questions
