Creating & Updating Your Database
From Your Friends makes it easy to keep in constant contact with your customers through our no-effort mailing services. You simply provide us with the list of names and addresses you want to receive the great offers and we take care of the rest! By combining your mail with others at your company, we can offer discounted prices for any quantity of postcards. Your postcards will be address verified, CASS certified, processed through the National Change of Address Database, imprinted, barcoded and mailed pre-sort standard class for both affordability and reliability - and all for a significant savngs over doing it yourself. If you choose to mail your own postcards, you will need to affix a first-class stamp.
There are two ways to provide us with names and addresses for mailing. You can either submit a database of your contacts by exporting the data from a current contact management program (Outlook, Excel, Top Producer, Act, AgentOffice, etc.) or you can manually enter your names into the From Your Friends online database. Once your database is received or entered, you can add, delete, or edit names at any time.
