Organizing Show Files: Tips and Best Practices

[Tara1021]

I currently file each show in a folder with the original order forms etc.

A. Do you keep those forms?
B. If so, how long? Just till the show is delivered? a couple of months? a year? Forever?

Just checking!

I do keep these forms & still have all of them. I've only been doing this a year & a half, so I don't have too many yet. I store them in a plastic container.

I am going to start pitching mine. All the info I need is in my computer, which I back up regularly.

I dont keep anything... everything is on my PC and that is backed up to the C drive, a networked PC, and a little USB zip drive. Ain't no way I'm going to keep every piece of paper.

See, everything is in my confuser too...that's why i'm wondering how long i need to keep this stuff. I'm thinking long enough to be sure everyone has gotten their orders and that they're right. I"m gonna go shredder happy in the next week....VACATION started yesterday, so after christmas i'll have a couple of days to get organized for the new year.

You guys are so cool. I love this place!
