Dear Sir/Madam,                  
            As you will probably be aware we             
have maintained our prices for over two years now,   
absorbing many increases in our costs, especially   
fuel, motor expenses, and particularly insurance      
both for the vans and the businesses public liability    insurance.                     
           It is with regret that we cannot               
continue to absorb these increases and have to put   
up our prices, so from next month (March) the cost    
for  your window cleaning will be £         


           We thank you for your business in            
the past, and look forward to providing you with our
usual high levels of service in the future,      
          Yours Faithfully,                       

          Stephen Rix

Dont need to put prices up :) we earn enuff for what we do i think some people on hear forget that they are window cleaners and window cleaners on 40 an hour is insane but i do love it! Why put them up u risk loosing customers to other cleaners with smaller roands like me for example i have 26 grand a year and im scared tp put my prices up as therez are so many people that will do it cheaper.

Dear Householder,

Price Increase Notification

I don't know whether you are one of my customers as all my records got nicked and all my staff (except one) have left me. But I'll take a chance that you are.

The one staffie that is left is holding me to ransom so I'm doubling your prices. Also I am investing in my resin re-washing plant which will allow me to clean your windows in a more environmentally beneficial way.

If I hit VAT registration turnover I'll be back for another 20%.

If I have another idea between now and the weekend I'll let you know pronto.

Yours truly,




R. Wiltshire
Managing Director
P.S. If a guy callinghimself LondonCleaners comes round knocking; well take it from me - he's just a carwash geezer - not a proper windie see.

 ;D
It's a game of three halves!

Very good gold cud u email that to me please should go down well with customs haha

Deansi why not put prices up ur taking a pay cut otherwise if you do not move with the times so why put time and effort into ur career for a payout

I'm doing the price rise to weed out the messers who can't afford service at moment but you know the ones who accept should be quote loyal, any I do lose should kinda be covered with the price rise of ones I keep

                   Dear Customer





  Due to the increased cost in running a small business ( mainly insurance & fuel costs),  regretfully we must raise the cost of our service to you.   

We have avoided this price increase for as long as possible however we are unable to prolong the inevitable.   

Enclosed please find our new price for your review.  The new price will be applied to your next clean.

We wish to thank you for your valued custom and hope that you will  understand the need for this price increase.

         If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

                                                             
                 Previous price     £

                 Your new price    £

             IF YOU ARE PAYING BY DIRECT BANKING, PLEASE AMEND YOUR PAYMENT


             Regards

R. Sole

They are both too apologetic. And it is a mistake to link to fuel or insurance price.

To Sunshine,
By identifying two honest and simple reasons for the increase, you are giving them 2 less reasons to question it
In sales, if you have a query, you identify it, specify it to the person and overcome it by giving an honest answer.   It always works - check any sales manual.
