Hearing a vendor say she raised prices 30% without losing regulars
I was at the Portland farmers market last Saturday and overheard a candle maker tell her neighbor she bumped her jars from $15 to $19.50 after 2 years, and I'm wondering if that kind of increase actually works for most people or if she just got lucky with her crowd?
Did you build up a loyal base before the jump? I did the same with my honey, went from $12 to $15, and my regulars didn't blink because I told them why costs went up.
