Contact lists provide a convenient way to keep track of personal and professional contact information. We’ve grown accustomed to having contact lists built into our mobile phone and email services, and many of us have felt the huge impact when a phone is lost and the data hasn’t been backed up. This page offers a variety of free contact list templates that are easy to use, customizable, and printable to help you manage your contact info.

Advantages of Digital Contact Management

There are obvious advantages to having a digital list of contacts as opposed to a traditional paper address book: You don’t have to worry about losing it; you can access it from various devices; it’s easier to update and manage; and it can grow along with your business. But, how do you decide whether to stick with a simple contact spreadsheet or use a web-based service or contact management software? For small businesses or those just starting out, it may not make sense to invest in software until you have developed a large customer database.

Some of the advantages of using software include spending less time on manual data entry, allowing easy access for multiple people within a company to manage the information, and having built-in tools for analyzing data and producing automated reports. But, for small businesses, freelancers, and organizations with smaller numbers of contacts to manage, an Excel sheet or similar tool may be all that’s required to organize and keep track of customers and other contacts.

Whether you’re working with a CRM spreadsheet template for sales leads or using software to manage customers, you may be able to import contacts from email lists or other sources in order to create a comprehensive database of contacts and export the information when you need to create invitations or marketing materials. With any type of digital contact management, it’s important that you update the information regularly and add notes to keep track of communications and other relevant data.

Managing Business, Employee, and Emergency Contacts

Businesses may require multiple databases for tracking customers, vendors, and other contacts. In addition to all of the outside contacts required to run a business — including clients, suppliers, business partners, utility companies, and other services — employee information must also be collected, managed, and safeguarded to ensure the privacy and safety of personnel. Just as tax forms, banking details, and other employee information need to be carefully managed, emergency contacts and related info must be kept up to date. In case of emergency, it’s helpful to have a dedicated emergency plan and contact list. Here are a few items you may include on an emergency contact information form:

  • Primary and Secondary Contacts: Employees are often asked to list more than one emergency contact and to name the relationship to each person. This could be a relative, friend, or other contact who is accessible with a current phone number.

  • Emergency Services: Calling 911 is often the first course of action, depending on the emergency, but it can also be helpful to include contact information for the police, the fire department, and other services.

  • Medical Conditions: Employees may choose to list medications or other medical information, such as doctors or existing health conditions, in case an emergency takes place at work and they are in need of medical care but unable to communicate in the moment.

  • Services for Minor Emergencies: Having easy access to phone numbers for a taxi, locksmith, or other service can expedite dealing with minor events.

Emergency contact lists are important not only in a business setting, but also at school and at home. In the home, this type of list is especially helpful for keeping babysitters and other caregivers in the loop, maintaining neighborhood contacts, and more. The more prepared you are, the more likely that you will handle an emergency smoothly.
