Hi. I was hoping someone would share with me how they file or organize their past orders. How long do you keep the hard copies? Do you file them by date or hostess' last name? Any other organization tips would be appreciated.

Thanks!!
 
I don't. I shred any copies with personal info (CC#, etc) and keep everything stored on my computer on Pampered Partner. I back up PP on my laptop, my 2nd PC's harddrive, and also on my external HD.
When a customer needs their receipt or something, I can print one off faster than trying to sort through papers and such.
