    Went thru the same thing last year, we have now become twice as busy?
    Just do quality work and people will pay. Good luck to you!

    Re: About to Raise my prices

    I haven't raised my prices in 2 years now..

    However..

    What if you had a customer who comes to you 3-4 times a year for the last 4 years? Would you still charge them more?

    Just asking as I have a pretty dedicated clientele base for years now and I do not charge them my newer rates for their USUAL work they want.

    In the past 3 years I've doubled my prices. I've lost a couple people but thats ok I'm booked all year long so not a problem. for repeat customers I only raised their prices by a small amount and they had no problem with it.
