Price increase letter

Shampoo went up, the van's insurance went up, and your full groom price has not moved in two years. You know the new numbers. What you do not have is the note, so the increase keeps getting pushed to next month, and every groom in between is done at the old price.

Price letters go wrong in two directions. The apologetic one buries the number in three paragraphs about costs and leaves the client unsure what they will actually pay. The abrupt one lands as a surprise at pickup. What regulars respond to is early, clear and specific: the old price, the new price, the date, and what happens to appointments already booked.

This kit writes it that way. You enter the date the new prices start and the changes exactly, old and new, line by line, and choose how clients receive it: email, a text sent from your booking app, or a printed note handed over at pickup. The true reasons in one or two lines and the rule for appointments booked before the date are optional. You get a letter with three subject lines, a text version under 320 characters, a spoken line for pickup, a reply to "Why the increase?", a reply to "That's too much for us", and an internal note on timing. Send it once, early, and then say it the same way at every pickup.
