Mail Merge is an ideal method to send email or letters to large volumes of customers or prospects from a single click. Each person, company name and local address will appear as if you drafted each document by hand for that entity. Each email is sent individually, without any other names appear-ing in the CC: or To: boxes. Furthermore, when the status of your records are updated, the pre-set filters and searches you used to select the recipi-ents will automatically update your list for the next mailing.

Templates can be accessed from Marketing + Mail Merge, and used for sending large volumes of printed materials or emails to a specific group or list. This is a very effective way of staying in touch with customers or prospects. Groups of names can be saved as lists or saved searches, with the corresponding email template saved, enabling a very simple process to reach contacts with targeted messages. Example: save a search of “New Leads” in a specific territiory or industry, or any other search criteria. Create a template specific to that group (e.g., “New Leads – Commercial”). Whenever new leads are added matching the search criteria they will automatically be included in that email campaign. Keeping your saved searches up to date will make this process seamless. == How to Perform a Mail Merge ==
