Multiple categories for contacts

Multiple categories for contacts

Hello,

I run a Public relations company. I need to organize my contacts in several categories. For instance : categorize my medias contacts in three main languages (French, German and English) and by topics :

- FR_local_press
- FR_national_press
- FR_economy_press
- FR_real_estate_press
- FR_luxury

- UK_local_press
- UK_national_press
- UK_economy_press
- and so on ...

I will have a lot of differents categories. My objective is to send an information to a particular group of contacts. I would also like to tag my contacts because one person could belong to multiple goups. For instance, Barak Obama would be categorised in the following groups : "opinion leader", "politician", "democrats".

I have a Excel database with all these categories and I would like to import it in Zoho. I have tried to edit my contact throuth "setup > Contacts: List of Fields" and add new custom field (boolean) to be able to import my categories. The problem is that I cannot create more than 10 Boolean Custom Fields for Contacts.

Here are my questions:

a: is it possible to organize/tag approximately 5'000 contacts in 60 differents categories ?
b: what is the good process to organise my contacts ?

I need your answer to know if I will use Zoho in my company because managing my contacts a priority.

Thanks for your fast answer.

Alexis
