I send out a letter each spring to my existing clients and have written that I have a price increase due to the increase of gas prices.
However I cannot quite determine how much to increase. I was planning about $1/hr. But I have weekly clients on a fixed income so I am trying to figure out if I should raise my rates the same for everyone (easier for me to keep track of). Or do a fuel surcharge???
Has anyone who is self employed raised their rates and how did you figure out how to do it??
I contacted SCORE and the person advised me to contact my competitors.
As always-THANKS!!
