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.
