  • Year End Direct Mail - Donors with the Same Address

  • Address Management Best Practices

    Can anyone offer advice on the best approach to managing address changes? Ie: should we simply write over old addresses or use a previous/alternate indicator?

  • Re: Bad Address Good Phone Number

    [quote user="Charmaine Desmeules"]This happens to our database a lot, especially if they are only moving a few blocks away. My solution is: go to ADDRESS tab, click on current address, go to Address in toolbar, copy/share address. You will now have 2 versions of the same address. I mark one...
