How to write a letter about price increases

Unfortunately, in our time prices are only rising. Any organization at the next jump in raw material prices does the same - it raises prices for its products. Of course, this must be reported to everyone who purchases this product. This is especially true for partners with whom formal agreements are concluded.

Instruction manual

1

Before writing a letter about the price increase, call the organization and check if they had a change in details, whether the head has changed (since you will write a letter in his name). If you send a document with incorrect data, I may not accept it, this may worsen relations between organizations.

2

Never start a promotion letter. This may result in termination of the contract. Start a letter of thanks for your cooperation. Next, you can describe the main advantages of your organization (how many years you work, what successes you have achieved). In a separate column, describe all the positive qualities of your product and cooperation with you. If your product has any changes for the better, be sure to check this out.

Next, write about price increases. Emphasize that this situation is also unpleasant for you. Describe all the nuances that caused changes in value, for example, an increase in the price of raw materials, utilities, customs clearance costs, etc. Indicate all the positions affected by the increase.

If the prices of your goods have not changed for a long time, be sure to write down exactly how many. This will positively affect the perception of your letter.

5

Be sure to include the date on which new prices take effect. Never write such letters retroactively, warn customers at least a couple of weeks.

6

If customers have any discounts, indicate that they continue to operate. You can write specific prices without a discount and at a discount.

The writing style should be business, do not apologize several times, it may look ugly.

Be sure to subscribe at the end of the letter (indicating your position), put a date and do not forget the phrase that you hope to continue cooperation. It is advisable that the letter is not very long, just write ½ page A4.

note

After sending the letter, be sure to call back and check whether the clients received it. This will help to avoid misunderstandings.
