Selling products and stock in bulk to trade customers to carpenters

Carpenters and joiners range from site carpenters doing first and second fix to workshop joiners making stairs, doors and furniture. Most are small businesses where the owner buys timber, tools and machinery directly and cares about quality and lead times.

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.

The carpenters that need products and stock in bulk to trade customers are listed publicly. What most wholesale suppliers lack is a list they own, with the right fields, that shows who was already contacted.

What wholesale suppliers run into with carpenters

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.

Carpenters, joiners and handymen are mixed together on most lists.

Use a Site or workshop field and tags to sort them, and archive records that do not fit.

Small workshops often use one shared address for everything.

Email from domain lets you tick info@, hello@ and your own prefixes like workshop@, all marked as guesses.

How to open a mail to carpenters

Use one angle per campaign, so the results show which one gets carpenters to click.

  • For workshop joiners, lead with machinery uptime and consistent timber quality.
  • For site carpenters, talk about reliable fixings and tools delivered to site.
  • For bespoke makers, offer a better way to show their work online and win higher value commissions.

Team sizeHelps you size equipment and software offers.

Questions people ask

Yes. Look at their website or listing and record it in a field or tag. A saved filter on that field gives you a separate audience.

Yes. Email from domain comes with common prefixes and lets you add your own. The resulting addresses are guesses, not verified.

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

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.
