Direct Mail: An Easy and Affordable Way to Reach Customers and Prospects Mailing regularly to your existing customer base and current prospects is a good way to keep your customers active, reactivate accounts or convert a prospect into a first-time customer. (ACT! Tip: Easily export your current prospect list in ACT! to Microsoft® Excel® by clicking the Export to Excel icon.) In addition, purchasing and mailing to an outside list of targeted prospects can generate new leads and result in profitable new customers to add to your existing base. |

Using ACT! in a Drip Marketing Campaign - Read it and Reap Everyone who’s ever tried their hand at gardening knows that too little water will cause the plants to whither and die but, too much water can kill your plants as well. Farmers have figured out that the most effective way to ensure a healthy garden is to deliver a steady, consistent drip of water to each individual plant using a process called “drip-irrigation.” |

ACT! Certified Consultant Fields Your Questions Q: We just upgraded from ACT! 6.0 to ACT! 2007. In ACT! 6.0, we regularly compressed and re-indexed our database to prevent data corruption. I can’t find a compress and re-index feature in ACT! 2007. Is this something that we need to worry about? |
