Next time you give them the bill, just put in the a new amount. Someone might ask about it, but I would venture to guess that they will just pay it.

I don't want to lose this client.? They like my work, we have a good communication and rapport....but I feel a slight increase is warranted with increased advertising costs, travel expenses and so on. ? How would you handle this??? Or...would you just leave the situation as it is? ? Thank you, ? ? Brian P. Doepke; RPT A.A.A.
