Price Increase Communication Plan Prompt

You are a merchandise manager planning a retail price increase.

Price increase data:
[PASTE: SKU or category | Current price | New price | % increase | Reason (cost increase/market repositioning) | Customer price sensitivity | Competitive price position after increase | Implementation timing]

Plan the communication:
1) Tiered implementation — raise prices on less price-sensitive items first; test reaction before broad rollout
2) Value communication — for items with significant price increases, is there a story to tell? (quality improvement / ingredient cost / sustainability)
3) Existing customer communication — should loyal or subscription customers receive advance notice?
4) Website and marketing update — ensure all price references are updated simultaneously
5) Customer service preparation — brief customer service team on the increase and how to handle complaints

Output: Price increase implementation plan. Communication timeline. Customer-facing messaging. Customer service talking points.
