FAQ
how do you tell clients you're raising prices?
You tell clients you're raising prices by sending a clear and concise email stating the new price, effective date, and any grandfather offer, without apologising for the increase. This email should be professional and to the point, focusing on the facts of the price change.
how much notice should you give for a price increase?
The notice period for a price increase can vary, but it's generally recommended to give clients at least 30 days' notice before the new price takes effect. This allows them time to adjust to the change and consider any grandfather offer.
what should a price increase email include?
A price increase email should include the current and new price, the effective date of the change, and any grandfather offer for existing clients. It should be concise, clear, and professional, avoiding apologetic language.
how do you write a grandfather offer for old clients?
You write a grandfather offer for old clients by specifying the conditions under which they can retain their current rate, such as booking a block of sessions before a certain date. This offer should be clearly stated in the price increase email.
Sample output
From 1 September 2026, the price of our sessions will increase to £75 per session, reflecting the value of my time and expertise. This change allows me to continue delivering high-quality coaching and support to my clients. Current clients have the opportunity to lock in the current rate of £60 per session by booking a block of 10 sessions before 1 August. If you're interested in taking advantage of this offer, please reply to this email to arrange booking your block of sessions. This will ensure you can continue our work together at the current rate, and I look forward to supporting your ongoing progress and growth.
