Gathering Your Contacts' Information

Have you ever had to replace your entire contact list in your cell phone or e-mail list? Many of us have become so dependent on the ease of accessing this information, that we no longer bother to physically write down our contacts. We simply store them in our phone or computer and hit a couple of buttons when we want to communicate.

If you have ever lost that information, you know what a pain it can be to replace it – especially if you don’t have an easily accessible phone list or address book to use for reference. You’ll spend hours personally contacting family and friends, looking through business cards, and searching the phone book.

Communications Made Easy has a better, easier solution. Building your contact list with our system can be accomplished in a number of ways with minimal effort. And your list is secure and stored in a reliable place. You won’t lose it.

We can make a sign up form on your alert notification Web site (this comes free as a CME customer) where users can input their contact information and the way they wish to receive notifications. That way, you’re getting the information direct from the source. CME understands that sometimes, your list will include people that you don’t directly know, so need a simple way to help people give you the information you need to stay in touch.

Another option – send out a print mailing advertising the service and include a sign up form that can be filled out and mailed back. The information would then be input by a designated employee.

Once the information has been loaded into your CME account, messages can be sent in 1 or more modalities. For non-critical messages, you may wish to simply send out an e-mail notification. Or, in times of emergency, you may wish to send the message out in 2, 3, or all 4 ways.

All message recipients get an individual account with a unique log in and password so they can set up their communication preferences. This is all done automatically by our propriety software...you won't ever have to set up the account log ins or passwords for each recipient. They simply log in and set up their individual preference of how they would like to receive their communication (via Web, e-mail, text and/or auto dialer) after you have set up the account.

If you plan on sending out non-critical messages mainly by e-mail, we suggest you notify your recipients to enable their accounts to receive the messages sent via e-mail. This way, their e-mail systems won’t view your important messages as SPAM.
