Selling products and stock in bulk to trade customers to opticians

Opticians combine eye care with retail, selling frames, lenses and contact lenses alongside eye tests. Independents decide on frames, equipment and marketing themselves, while chain branches usually follow central buying.

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 opticians 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 opticians

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.

Chain branches dominate directory lists but cannot choose suppliers.

Add an Independent or chain field and save a filter for independents only.

Frame reps need to know which brands a practice already carries.

Keep a Frame brands stocked field and notes on each contact, shared with the whole team.

Questions people ask

How do I avoid emailing chain branches?

Add an Independent or chain field while you review records, then save a filter for independents only.

Can I record the brands an optician already stocks?

Yes. Add a text field such as Frame brands stocked and use it in saved filters or placeholders.

How do I get email addresses for opticians 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@, hello@, enquiries@ and appointments@, 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.
