Hey, Wendi!

Actually, people are more tired of seeing my name than yours, lol!

I've been an independent for a little over five years now, and only for the last two have I started to raise my prices.  I re-evaluate and revise my Pricing Schedule on an annual basis.  The yearly increase averages out to about 5% across the board, so if my calculations are correct, I'm at least keeping pace with inflation.

Hope that helps.

Regards,
Scott
