I have increased my pumpkin roll prices (only $3) for this holiday season, however I was considering making a special offer that if it is ordered before November 1st, will get last year's price. Either way I make a profit, just $3 more with the new price.

have any of you dont this type of thing before?

Yep, do it every year. I have my annual price increase every Sept 1. So about July 15th, I put a big notice on the home page of my website announcing the coming price increase, and if they book now, they can lock in current pricing.

My phone rings off the hook in August.

Debi, do you ask for payment when the early order is taken, or you just guarantee the price?

Debi, do you ask for payment when the early order is taken, or you just guarantee the price? I was wondering if it was advantageous to require payment at time of order to guarantee the discount.

i dont' ask for any special payment .... just my standard payment policy applies.
