With money tight for most these days.  How did you prepare your clients for a price increase so you don't tick them all off?

We're currently doing that ourselves. We've lost some business so far because of what they called a 60% price increase... and the fact they're a "small company" (small multi-national company... sigh).

Well, that's gonna happen. We're thinking of sending out an email explaining.

I would either email them or depending on how much time you have, call them and inform them personally.  Some might appreciate that personal touch .

Well it depends, how much are you planning to increase?  If you are looking to increase rates 15 to 20%, yes phone call.  If you are increasing rates 80%, I hate to say, no phone call or mailer is going to help!
