for lack of a better term...

I have been keeping customer contracts, files, old request lists, etc. in 2 pocket folders - but now that I look on the shelf - there's a few hundred of them up there! They're 100% organized, but I'd like a better way to store/file everything I get from the clients...

I have plenty of info on my computer(s), but I'm talking about all printed materials

what do you do? and how effecient is it?

easy to find files?

thanks,
Dave
 
the only customer related paper stuff i keep is contracts....stored by event date. each year with sub folders for the month....if you don't have a lot of them, simply putting them in date order will do.
everything else is stored on computer....back up copies of contracts are also scanned
 
I have a folder for each month with the contracts and paperwork for the gig in the folders by event date. When the contract is complete, I save JUST the contracts in a drawer.

What I'm doing now is, scanning the contracts when I get them, then shredding them after the job is complete.
 
I have a filing Cabinet that I keep all my old contracts plus a few bills etc

the filing cabinet was cheap and works well
