WHY CREATE A MAIL MERGE?
Send the same letter to many recipients while utilising personal information
Standard form letters - Legislation changes , Policy changes
Personalised/Targeted Marketing materials - geography, sales figures
Advantages of Mail Merging Send a clear and consistent message – reduce risk of
misunderstanding Speed
Easier proof reading; 1 letter instead of many. Thousands of letters can be produced or updated quickly
Our example – a small test run of marketing letters being sent to a group of pre-selected customers
