always say the end of October because no one will look for a new nail
tech during the holidays and by january they will forget or be used to
it. You can raise them immediately, and send the note out saying "As a
valued client you will receive the old pricing until dec 1st" It's
also the time of the year people look for new techs so you want the
price changed before they get on your books do they start at the
higher price.
Love the idea of including the referral special in the letter!
