Your own Christchurch list of hotels

Hotels range from family run guest houses to branded properties with a general manager and department heads. Independent hotels decide on site, while group hotels often buy through a central team, so finding the right person matters as much as the offer.

Start with Christchurch itself and keep Nelson, Dunedin and Queenstown as separate segments. That way a campaign never reaches the same hotel twice, and you can see at a glance how much of Canterbury is done.

Your competitors are already emailing hotels in Christchurch. With your own list you reach them in a planned way instead of hoping they find you.

Build your Christchurch list of hotels in four steps

Every import waits as a concept until you publish it, so nothing lands in your database by accident.

Collect hotels in Christchurch

Export hotels in Christchurch from Google Maps listings or travel review and booking sites as CSV, or paste the results page into paste and collect.

Fields worth recording for hotels in Christchurch

Add these as fields in your lead file. Any column in your import can become a field.

FieldWhy it helps
Company nameThe key field. Duplicates are checked on it or on the website.
WebsiteNeeded to derive an email when the export has none.
RoomsRoom count is the clearest sign of size and budget.
Star ratingRating shapes expectations for amenities and service.
Independent or chainChain hotels often buy centrally, independents decide locally.
Restaurant or eventsHotels with food and events buy far more than rooms only.
General managerThe name of the decision maker once you find it.

What slows down prospecting hotels, and the fix

The reservations address goes to front desk staff who do not pass sales mails on.

Tick events@ and info@ as well in email from domain and note which address brought a reply.

Chain and independent hotels need completely different approaches.

Add a field for ownership type and save a filter for each, with its own campaign.

Big hotel lists lead to overlap between colleagues.

Duplicate checks on import and one shared database keep every hotel in one place.

What to say to hotels in Christchurch

Pick one angle per campaign and write it once, with placeholders like {company|your team} for the details.

  • Tie your offer to guest reviews, because hotels watch their scores closely.
  • Address occupancy and the quieter season, when a hotel is open to new ideas.
  • Ask for the right department head, since the reception address rarely reaches the buyer.

Emailing hotels in New Zealand

In New Zealand, the Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act 2007 requires consent for commercial electronic messages. Consent can be express, inferred from an existing relationship, or deemed when someone has conspicuously published their work address without saying they do not want messages and your message relates to their role. Every message must identify the sender and include a working unsubscribe facility. This is general information, not legal advice.

Managers are easier to reach outside peak season and away from check-in and check-out hours, so late morning midweek works well. Read the deliverability guide before your first send.

Questions people ask

Yes. Put Christchurch in its own segment, or keep a City field and save a filter such as city contains Christchurch. You always see which part of the market you already worked.

If your file has an email column, that wins. If it only has websites, tick the prefixes you want, such as info@, reservations@, reception@ and events@, 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.

In independent hotels it is usually the owner or general manager. Record the name in a field when you find it, and use a role address such as info@ until then.

Yes. Add a number field for rooms and filter on it, for example hotels with more than a certain number of rooms.
