Price increase inspiration New
« on: June 25, 2012, 08:29:42 pm »
Evening chaps.  Just a quick post to say over the last 2 weeks ive been putting up all my prices that need it by 10%.  I have been saying to them that its just the match the rise in inflation and living costs over the last 2-3 years.
I needed a real kick up the arse to put my prices up, so to anyone whose in the same boat, go and do it!  More money for the same work

Will that not give you a round full of small change to deal with?

I prefer to work in £1 increments or .50p for the very small jobs or old dears.

i dont mean exactly 10%.  a £3 shop is now £3.50 (or £3.30 if i know theyre a real tight arse), £8 is now £9.00 etc. 
Still, feel so much more positive now
