Mailing lists are essential, especially this time of year when we’re eager to send out holiday greetings to family, friends, colleagues and clients. Excel is a spreadsheet program that can be used as a database that many of our clients use to maintain such a list; it’s a software package I highly recommend. In turn, my clients have told me that Avery is the service they use to create labels from their Excel data. And, after doing work with these clients on their holiday card projects, I’d have to say that Avery does provide an excellent service.
Like other on-line sites, Avery nicely guides you through the label design and print process. What I especially like, however, is that it provides the option for users to maintain full control of their data. I tell my clients they have chosen their service wisely when they use Avery. (By the way, I have no affiliation whatsoever with Avery.)
If you’d like one of us from PC Assistants help you create an Excel database for a mailing list, contact us now. Of course, we can also help you merge that data with the service/software of your choice.
If you start next year’s holiday shopping on December 26, why not get a head start on compiling those important addresses? To get you motivated, take a look at Avery How to Go From Mailing List to Address Labels.
