Bottom line
The customer is active and the current agreement confirms the change applies.
Best for
Dentists: The dentists source system records the exact account, service, or relationship state for dental fee schedule update and assigns a current owner.
Use when
Match the affected segment to the controlling agreement and rate table.; stop on reply, booking, stage change, or opt-out.
Watch for
The customer is deciding whether the higher price still fits and whether the sender is being direct about it.
Launch Readiness
Publication stays closed until every prerequisite below is supported by repository evidence.
- Waived: At least four of the six Wave 1 goals must clear their documented 60-day thresholds; two failures stop Wave 2 publication. Evidence: Owner waived this prerequisite in content/reviews/evidence/wave2-publication-waiver.json at 2026-08-03T15:13:00.247Z; no performance measurement was supplied.
- Waived: Store live DataForSEO evidence for each goal head term and launch-industry combination. Evidence: Owner waived this prerequisite in content/reviews/evidence/wave2-publication-waiver.json at 2026-08-03T15:13:00.247Z; 0/30 metric rows and 0/30 SERPs remain recorded.
When To Use This Campaign Type
An active customer's verified rate, fee, plan price, or controlling term will change on a known effective date. The email exists to state the old number, new number, date, brief truthful reason, and any real choice before the change takes effect.
- The customer is active and the current agreement confirms the change applies.
- Current price, new price, effective date, notice period, reason, and available alternatives reconcile.
Operational Definition
Recipient state
An affected paying customer looking first for the new amount, effective date, and honest alternatives.
Entry trigger
A final approved rate or term change is entered in billing and agreement records with an effective date and affected segment.
Primary action
Acknowledge the change or choose one verified alternative before its real deadline.
Owner
Owner or general manager accountable for the rate decision and every monitored reply.
Success metric
Retention through 90 days after the effective date and the share of affected customers needing human resolution.
Sequence placement
One notice plus one conditional reminder tied to a real alternative deadline.
Timing
- Use the controlling contract notice period. Operational planning often begins 30–60 days before the effective date, but that is not a universal legal deadline.
- Send a reminder only when a real alternative deadline remains, and never let the first new-rate invoice become the notice.
Stops and exit
- Acknowledgement, alternative selected, reply, cancellation request, opt-out, dispute, or human handling.
- Route a cancellation signal to a person and then to cancellation save only when a genuine alternative exists.
Best For
- Existing recurring customers affected by a final, dated rate or term change.
- Operators with precise segmentation and verified alternatives.
Not Best For
- One-time businesses without a standing rate.
- Undecided, undated, or speculative future changes.

Risk, Suppression, And Handoff Rules
Suppress while active
- Unaffected or contract-protected customers, active service recovery, cancellation save, collections, and disputed accounts.
- Suppress promotions for seven days on either side of the notice.
Compliance and risk
- Use the actual agreement notice period and do not publish generic legal deadlines, rule names, or jurisdiction-specific conclusions.
- Never invent a reason, lock, grandfathered term, or alternative.
- Prepare the real cancellation path before sending the notice.
Current Policy And Compliance Sources
Common Mistakes To Avoid
Burying the number
The old price, new price, and date belong near the top.
Using the invoice as notice
The first charge at the new rate must never be the first notification.
