Price Increase Letter Templates

Communicating Price Increases to Pool Service Customers

How you communicate a price increase matters as much as the increase itself. A professional, transparent notification that explains the reason for the adjustment and gives adequate notice results in significantly lower churn than a surprise rate change on the next invoice.

Templates Included

• Standard Price Increase Letter — professional notification citing rising costs (chemicals, fuel, insurance) as the reason, with 30-day advance notice
• Annual Adjustment Letter — positioned as a routine annual cost-of-living adjustment, normalizing the practice of yearly increases
• Email Version — shorter format optimized for email delivery with the same key information

Best Practices

Give at least 30 days notice before any rate change. Explain the reason briefly — customers understand that costs go up. Avoid apologizing excessively, which signals uncertainty. State the new rate clearly. Consider offering an annual prepay discount as an alternative. Time increases for January or contract renewal dates, not mid-summer when customers are most price-sensitive.
