Selling products and stock in bulk to trade customers 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.

Wholesale suppliers find new trade customers through sales reps, trade fairs and existing accounts. A lead database of the businesses you could supply helps you plan outreach per region or sector and track who became a customer.

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 wholesale suppliers run into with architects

Lists from trade fairs and directories arrive in different formats.

Import CSV and Excel files from any source and map each column to your own fields.

It is hard to target only the businesses in one sector or area.

Save a filter on a field such as sector or region, or on a tag, and use it as a campaign audience.

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.

Fields worth recording for architects

Any column in your import can become a field. These are the ones worth keeping for architects.

Sectors	Residential, commercial or public work each specify different products.

Director	The person who approves suppliers and specifications.

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.
