Maybe they want to get rid of undesirable clients or do less grooms but make the same money. You know work smarter not harder. So now is the time to raise prices when every body wants their pets groomed for the holidays. What good does it do to raise prices after the holidays when everyone just got their pet groomed? You won't see any profit for 3 to 4 months till spring arrives.

I always thought it was the norm to raise prices arund the holidays. Old shop I worked at did a $2.00 increase on small dogs and $3.00 on larger ones every year. Clients all knew ahead of time. Probably less likely to have people complain since they are usually desperate to have fluffy groomed to look nice for family/photos. And I def agree that no one should judge when/why a place raises prices. Everyone has to do what's best for them and have a successful business. I personally will not raise prices this year bc I opened in January. But next year I will. And it will likely be around this time of year to help offset the slow period in January

I adore my clients and would never raise their prices during the Holidays because I don't believe anyone needs that unexpected burden! A couple $$ is a lot to some people. I always plan on my bills being bigger at Christmas with extra shampoo/water/electricity/etc. so an increase here & there is something I have planned on & saved for all year. No fair pulling the RUG out from under clients!
