I got my first computer ten years ago thinking it could easily spit out the relevant mailing labels on the first of each month. Never came up with a method simple enough to suit me. A couple of years ago while tuning a Baldwin studio on automatic pilot it came to me.
Index card file with monthly dividers. At the end of each day I put a card for the customers I visited that day in the slot for the month they are due for the next appointment. On April 15 I send out reminders for June appointments.

One of the ladies in our chapter uses this method. She does not send out her reminders that far in advance, however. I believe it's something like a month in advance.
