Based on various research studies, there is a proven way to announce a price increase. The approach combines the increased value/capabilities your service has provided over time, with anchoring that value at a higher price point than the actual price increase.
XXX is increasing our pricing to more accurately reflect the value users get from the solution. This change will help fund some great new features coming your way, just like the additions you have seen in the past years like for example [ABC and XYZ].
This pricing change will not affect your current payment schedule; you are grandfathered into your current pricing plan. As a current XXX customer, we want to keep you informed about the change. Here are the new pricing levels:

If you’re interested in upgrading to a different tier of service, we’d be happy to honor our previous pricing tiers through Wednesday, January 31st.
If you have any questions or concerns, just reply to this email. We will get back to you asap.
Thanks
Dear Client,
We are very pleased to count you as one of our loyal customers. We are proud to help you achieve great results for your clients. In order to ensure we can continue to provide exceptional service, we’ll be increasing the rates on all our packages effective 1 June. Some of our packages will also be tweaked to reflect the services our clients most need.
You can see the new packages and pricing here [link]. We’ll be rolling this out to new clients from June 1, however, we wanted to give you the first month on your new package at the current rate [offer for longstanding clients] as a thank you for being such an amazing client!
This increase will enable us to continue to provide the quality and breadth of service you love. If you have any questions about the price increase or our new packages, don’t hesitate to let me know.
Yours Sincerely,
XXX is increasing our pricing to more accurately reflect the value users get from the solution and make room for some great new features coming your way.

For most customers, this is a modest price increase. For a few customers, this represents an actual decrease in pricing.
No matter how this price adjustment affects you, you’ll want to act now and get the best XXX pricing possible. Just upgrade your XXX account and if the old plan is cheaper for you, we’ll adjust your recurring charge to reflect the lower price.
If you have any questions or concerns, just reply to this email. We will get back to you asap.
Thanks
