Business owners everywhere feel differently about raising the prices of their products or services. Some feel that this is a necessary and natural effect of growing your business. Others fear that they will lose clients if they raise their prices.
For those that do raise prices, there are varied methods of achieving this goal. These methods consider many points, including when the new prices will take effect, how the new pricing is implemented, how and which customers are affected, and the tipping point of the prices.
