To our Clients,
Again, with rapidly rising material cost/operational fees, we are having to pass along inflation rates on our services. We attempted to stay in front of this last season, however, our supply chain has recently passed along a minimal 9-15% rise in production cost as of august 2022. 80% of our products are petroleum based so we increasingly feel the impact here at Artistic Compositions. We are implementing another increase at this time. Woodwork, Glass, and Shipping is going to be effected as well (these fluctuate with supply and availability) . I appreciate everyone for their understanding in moving forward with adjustments to provide World Class Service at an affordable rate to each and every one of you…

Kindest regards,
Shane Smith
