Database in Riftjaw with active contacts, segment, lead file and source

Selling marketing, advertising and growth services to wholesalers

Wholesalers buy in bulk from producers and sell to retailers, trades or hospitality, with owners, buyers and warehouse managers each involved in decisions. They look for new product lines, better logistics and tools that handle many orders with a small team.

Most marketing agencies win clients through referrals, a few directories and the odd cold email sent from a spreadsheet. A lead database of your own lets you build a list per niche and region, see who you already contacted and follow up without losing track.

Every month you do not reach wholesalers with a clear offer, someone else does. A list you own lets you work the market in a steady rhythm instead of in bursts.

What marketing agencies run into with wholesalers

Prospect lists for each niche end up in separate spreadsheets that nobody keeps up to date.

Import every list into one lead database, split it with segments per niche or region and keep one status per company.

Local businesses often show a website but no email address.

Email from domain derives role addresses such as info@ and hello@ from the website, with no credits to spend.

Orders@ addresses are flooded with customer orders.

Choose buying@ or info@ as prefixes instead, and add your own where it fits.

Wholesaler lists span unrelated categories.

Tag categories and save a filter per tag, so each campaign fits the product range.

Questions people ask

How can a brand use Riftjaw to find wholesalers?

Import wholesaler lists from trade show pages or directories into a segment per category and send each one a short campaign. Track replies with statuses.

Can I note which wholesalers received samples?

Yes. Use a tag and a note with the date, then filter on the tag when it is time to follow up.

How do I get email addresses for wholesalers in your area?

If your file has an email column, that wins. If it only has websites, tick the prefixes you want, such as info@, sales@, orders@ and buying@, and Riftjaw derives addresses from each domain. Derived addresses are good guesses, not verified, so start with small batches.

Is it free to start?

Yes. The Free plan runs the whole pipeline on one list with small campaigns, and you do not need a credit card. Move to Pro when you want more lists, segments and bigger campaigns.
