I am due a price increase this year as its 3/4 years since there was one. I will wait until the spring though. Get this brex(sh)it done.

same here......its 3 years since i put a lot of jobs up at once.......the thing is some customers think its only been a year,time goes so fast!ill notify customers a month or two before either with a short text,a little note on their slips or face to face.....i very rarely need to explain myself,if i do its usually jobs im putting up a quid!...paradoxically its not usually the larger jobs that go up a fiver that query the rise!
I do the month before Daz, add on the notification slip, "50p/£1 price rise next time". Anyone who wants to negotiate will be told , sorry I don't do price beating or matching. I dont put price up every year, only every 3 to 4 , sometimes its been 5. Its never less than 50p though.
Cheers Rich

i dont see the point....you might as well round your prices up at least a quid........i dont use gocardless but ill be putting most of my prices up a quid or two in april,some a fiver.....👍

Yep, totally agree but as I said, this is for existing clients whos prices are already good and a lot who have just joined me within last several months and a little too soon dont you think to change their price. Hence a small increase to cover the cost a little without upsetting them.  I did say this in a previous post.

personally i think your gonna pee new customers off if you put them up 40p after a few cleans esp if you email them one of your long winded explanations...... ::)roll........surely you can absorb the extra cost if its only a few customers?

just make sure you charge another quid on top of your normal price for new jobs in the future.....

i wouldnt mess about with 40p rises....

He's telling us that these are all better paying customers that have come on board in the last several months but yet he's now in a panic over a 20p transaction charge, was going to say you couldn't make this up but then it is Nathan. lol

For the sake of arguing, one} you dont know the prices being charged, 2} you dont know just by how many clients I have increased by and last} I dont wish to absorb the cost
