Audience overview in Riftjaw with daily audience, new contacts and most engaged people

What painters and decorators are like as prospects

Painters and decorators are mostly sole traders and small teams who win work through word of mouth and local reputation. They buy paint and tools regularly, so trade counters and suppliers compete for their loyalty, and most decisions are made quickly by the owner.

Decorators often check messages at the start and end of the day. Exterior specialists are busiest in dry months, so the colder months can be a better time for longer conversations.

Where lists of painters and decorators sit in the open

You do not need to buy data to reach painters and decorators. Most of them are listed publicly, with a name, a website and often a phone number.

Segments in Riftjaw, each with its own name and number of contacts — Segments such as property managers in London or roofers in the North, each ready to use in a campaign.

Campaign results in Riftjaw with sent, opened and clicked per contact — Campaign results in Riftjaw: delivered, opened and clicked for every contact.

What gets in the way, and how it is handled

Many decorators trade under their own name, so the company column is empty or inconsistent.

Placeholders with a fallback, such as {company|your business}, keep the mail readable even when a field is missing.

Lists contain a lot of one person businesses that change phone numbers and sites.

Keep the source and date on each record, archive records that bounce and export a clean list whenever you need it.

You want to send a gentle offer, not a blast that looks like spam.

Campaigns go out in small batches of 10, with a test send first and unsubscribed contacts skipped automatically.

Angles that get painters and decorators to reply

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

Offer something that helps them show their finished work, such as a better portfolio page or review collection.
Talk about trade prices and reliable stock, because running out of a colour halfway through a job costs them a day.
Mention how outdoor work slows in cold, wet months and how you can help fill the diary with interior jobs.

Questions people ask

How do I find decorators who also spray?

Look at their listings or websites for spraying services and record it in a field or tag. The paste and collect tool can help you turn a directory page you have open into rows for import.

Should I use their personal name in the mail?

If you have a first name field, use a placeholder like {first_name|there}. If not, the fallback keeps the greeting natural.

How do I get email addresses for painters and decorators 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@ and enquiries@, 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.
