When Customers Applaud Your Price Increase: The Power of Authentic Communication
02.04.2026 – Last week I shared the PR Secret to Writing the Perfect Price Increase Notification, using my health and wellness client HLTH Code as a case study.

It’s not a network marketing company, a business model I despise.)
