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

Selling software and online tools for businesses to architects

Architecture practices are often small studios led by one or two directors, with larger firms organised by sector. They specify materials and products on projects, so suppliers want to be known to them long before a build starts.

Software companies that sell to small and medium businesses often rely on inbound signups, content and paid ads. A lead database of the exact business types you serve adds a direct outbound channel that you control yourself.

Every month you do not reach architects 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 software companies run into with architects

Buying contact data for a narrow vertical is expensive and often outdated.

Build the list yourself from public sources, import it and keep it fresh on your own server.

Outbound lists and product signups live in different places.

Keep prospects in one database with statuses and tags, and export to CSV whenever another system needs them.

Architects receive many supplier mails and ignore generic ones.

Placeholders and segments per sector let you send a relevant message instead of one blast.

Small studios often have only a studio@ address.

Add studio@ as your own prefix in email from domain.

How to open a mail to architects

Write one mail with placeholders and let the details change per record. These openings tend to work with architects.

Refer to a recent project and suggest how your product fits similar work.
Offer technical data, samples or a short learning session, which architects value.
Keep visuals and specifications easy to find, because architects decide on detail.

Questions people ask

How do I segment architects by the type of work they do?

Add a field or tags for sectors such as residential or commercial. Save a filter per sector and write a campaign for each.

Can I use planning records to find architects?

Public planning records often name the agent or architect. You collect those names yourself, save them as a CSV and import them. Riftjaw does not crawl those sites for you.

How do I get email addresses for architects 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@, studio@, hello@ and office@, 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.
