Reaching car dealers in Philadelphia
Car dealers range from independent used car lots to franchised dealerships with separate sales, service and parts teams. Independents decide quickly through the owner, while franchise groups often buy centrally and follow manufacturer rules.
Start with Philadelphia itself and keep New York, Newark and Baltimore as separate segments. That way a campaign never reaches the same car dealer twice, and you can see at a glance how much of Pennsylvania is done.
Your competitors are already emailing car dealers in Philadelphia. With your own list you reach them in a planned way instead of hoping they find you.
Build your Philadelphia list of car dealers in four steps
You check every step before anything is saved or sent.
Collect car dealers in Philadelphia
Export car dealers in Philadelphia from Google Maps listings or motor trade association member lists as CSV, or paste the results page into paste and collect.
Import into one lead file
Drop the file into a lead file called Car Dealers Philadelphia. Columns are matched for you and duplicates are flagged before anything is saved.
Fill in the missing emails
No email in the export? Tick info@, sales@, enquiries@ and service@ and addresses are derived from each website.
Reach them in small batches
Pick the segment, keep only status New, write one mail with placeholders like {company|your team} and send it in small batches.
Fields worth recording for car dealers in Philadelphia
Any column in your import can become a field. These are the ones worth keeping for car dealers.
| Field | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Company name | The key field. Duplicates are checked on it or on the website. |
| Website | Needed to derive an email when the export has none. |
| Franchised or independent | Franchise dealers often buy through a group or follow brand rules. |
| Brands sold | Shows which manufacturers they represent. |
| Stock size | A rough sense of stock tells you how much marketing they need. |
| Workshop on site | Dealers with a workshop also buy parts and service tools. |
| Dealer group | Tells you whether decisions are made at head office. |
What slows down prospecting car dealers, and the fix
Independent lots and franchised dealers need very different offers.
Add a Franchised or independent field and save a filter for each group.
Dealer groups show up many times, once per site.
Keep a Dealer group field and tag head office contacts, so you know when to talk to the group instead of each site.
Sales teams mail the same dealers from their own inboxes and lists.
One shared account with unlimited users gives everyone the same list, statuses and mail history.
Openings that work with car dealers
Use one angle per campaign, so the results show which one gets car dealers to click.
- Lead with selling stock faster, because every day a car sits on the forecourt costs money.
- Talk about better photos and listings, which strongly affect how many buyers get in touch.
- For dealers with a workshop, focus on service bookings and repeat business after the sale.

Read moreEmailing car dealers in the US
In the US, commercial email is covered by the CAN-SPAM Act, which does not require prior consent but does require honest sender details and subject lines, a valid physical postal address and a clear way to opt out. Opt-out requests must be honoured within ten business days, and some states add their own privacy rules. This is general information, not legal advice.
Weekday mornings are usually quieter than weekends, when many buyers visit. Month end can be busy for sales teams, so earlier in the month often works better. Read the deliverability guide before your first send.
Questions people ask
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.
If your file has an email column, that wins. If it only has websites, tick the prefixes you want, such as info@, sales@, enquiries@ and service@, and Riftjaw derives addresses from each domain. Derived addresses are good guesses, not verified, so start with small batches.
No. Riftjaw is not a data vendor. You collect the car dealers yourself from public sources or your own files and import them. That is why the list is yours and why there is no credit meter on it.
For group owned sites, decisions are often made centrally. Record the group in a field and put head office contacts in their own segment for those offers.
Yes. Add a Brands sold field to your lead file and save filters on it.
