Can you help me populate my mailing list?

Of course. Here are some tips and tricks from the experts:

Getting Started

• Use our mailing list template in Excel.
  • Mailing list column headings must match what is on our template or the list will be “unreadable.”
  • Copy and paste your mailing list info into our template one column at a time.
• If you use your own mailing list, copy and paste the headings from our template into your mailing list file and rearrange your info to match the columns.
• Each address list should have no more than 20,000 addresses (line entries) per order. You can upload multiple lists.

Populating the Mailing List

• If a field is marked Required, it must contain text. If a required field is empty, the address is considered broken and you will get an error.
• Each field is limited to 33 characters.

Address Fields

• Addresses must be broken into separate cells, as they are on the template with at least the following information provided for each:
  • Last Name
  • Address Line 1
  • Zip Code
• Address Line 2 must include text:
  • Acceptable: Apt. 2
  • Unacceptable: #2
• If an address is too long (more than 33 characters):
  • Use abbreviations for Street, Drive, Boulevard, etc.
  • Check the address on Google Maps. Sometimes Google suggests an alternate address that's shorter.

ZIP Codes

• If a ZIP code starts with a zero (0) you must set the field to be a ZIP or ZIP+4 field (or else the 0 will be removed by Excel).
  • Right-click the cell and select Format Cell. The Format Cells window appears.
  • Select the Number tab and select Special from the Category list.
  • Select Zip Code or Zip Code + 4 from the Type field.
  • Click OK.
• All numbers of the ZIP code must be in one cell.
• ZIP codes that include the +4ZIP code should include a dash (or hyphen). Do not have spaces around the dash. Example: 90210-680
