Christmas is coming so here are some tips for preparing Christmas invites and mail outs.

The easiest way to send bulk Emails or SMS messages or to send printed documents is to create a Personnel Tagset containing the people you want to contact.

Here are some suggestions to help you get started.

Example 1: Tagging contractors who have worked for you throughout the year

Press the Tags button on the Personnel form:

Then press Tag Contractors button, in this example all contractors who have worked for you this year will be tagged:

Example 2: Sending Email and SMS messages to clients and candidates

Use the PRS Message Merge tool for a quick and easy Email or SMS drop to your clients and candidates. Once you’ve tagged the message recipients open the Message Merge tool by pressing the Tags button on the Personnel form followed by the Message Tagged Personnel on the Personnel Tags dialog. For the following example we created a reusable Merry Christmas message template:
