  i_monk, I don't know how much this would help but you could frame it like this:

  "Hopefully you [the client] can agree with me that it's in your organization's best interest that my studio [agency, firm, cult] thrives. I've recently reassessed my overhead and plans for growth. In light of that, I've decided to increase my rates in order to continue offering you the best possible service, all while ensuring the future stability of my business."

  (That's what I'm gonna tell people, at any rate—haven't had to tell an existing client about this change yet. We'll see how it goes.)

  • Why bother announcing a rate change? If it's reasonable, just change it, your clients won't mind/notice.noneck
  • Change it substantially, or not at all. They'll notice, so they should be forewarned.gramme
