If this is the only application you have, and you only need to add data
periodically, it might be easiest to maintain the data in Excel and just
append the new records there. You can then import each time and recreate
the shapefile. If it's important to maintain a consistent layer style, you
can save the style as a qml file and then just load it again each time you
do a new import. Might be easier than select/copy/edit/paste each time, and
the data will probably be in a format you're more familiar with.

Anyway, there have been quite a few suggestions, so you can decide which
approach will work best for you!

Kind regards,
Rudi
