Customer Mailings
One part of the recently released version 4.7 that you may not have realized is that it can make it very easy to print labels for physical mailings to your customers, as well as export email addresses for email lists through a service such Constant Contact.
For a physical mailing, first you'll want to make certain that you've selected the mailing style label as your default. From the customers screen, click on print label, then change label design. Select the mailing label layout appropriate for your printer - most customers who have gotten printers from us will want the Bixolon 2 Mailing Label design - and make certain you have the fields selected. Save the default label, and print one to make certain it looks correct.
Then, you're going to want to do a search for the customers you want to print labels for. If you want all customers, you can skip this step. Otherwise, hit search in the lower left.
You can do a variety of searches here. These include a birthday range, people who have bought certain items or from certain categories and departments, people with discount cards, and other criteria.
Once you've done the search, go to the more button, then 'mass print labels'. Be prepared for the number of labels that will come, as depending on your database and search this could be several thousand labels.
For email addresses, you can similarly do a search, but rather than 'mass print labels' you'll select 'Export Email Addresses'
