I am going to be raising my prices next March. In order to give all my clients sufficient notice, I am going to post signs within my shop now. Any suggestions on wording? I plan to raise prices depending on breed, haircut, and frequency of grooming by $2-$10 per dog/breed. I have not raised my prices since I opened in 2008.

I would wait til closer to March to let your clients know. Whenever I raised my prices, I started by saying that I hated to do it (which I did), but I must because or rising costs. I'd add, for you, that I haven't had a raise since 2008.Old groomers never die, they just go at a slower clip.
Groom on!!!

I also agree to wait till around March to raise prices. Post signs is all I would do......even this is more advance notice than the grocery store, gas station (can change while you are in line already!), electric bill, ect.
I just tell them when appt is scheduled or if prebook I tell them when doing reminder texts.Ain't always easy to stand up for what is right.

I don't believe any letter is necessary especially since you haven't raised prices in 7 years! Holy Cow most of your clients will probably say they've been expecting it. Put up a nice sign the day you raise prices & be done with it!! Personally, I find it very presumptuous when clients walk in with their check made out already!
