Reaching painters and decorators in Dunedin
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.
Start with Dunedin itself and keep Queenstown, Christchurch and Nelson as separate segments. That way a campaign never reaches the same painter and decorator twice, and you can see at a glance how much of Otago is done.
Your competitors are already emailing painters and decorators in Dunedin. With your own list you reach them in a planned way instead of hoping they find you.
Build your Dunedin list of painters and decorators in four steps
Nothing is written to your database until you confirm it.
Collect painters and decorators in Dunedin
Export painters and decorators in Dunedin from Google Maps listings or online trade directories as CSV, or paste the results page into paste and collect.

Import into one lead file
Drop the file into a lead file called Painters and Decorators Dunedin. 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@, hello@ and enquiries@ 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 painters and decorators in Dunedin
Record these and you can split the list later, write sharper mails and see who fits your offer.
| 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. |
| Interior or exterior | Tells you which products and seasons matter to them. |
| Commercial work | Firms doing offices and shops buy in larger volumes. |
| Spraying | Spray finishers are a separate audience for equipment suppliers. |
| Service area | Useful for suppliers with local trade counters. |
What slows down prospecting painters and decorators, and the fix
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.
Openings that work with painters and decorators
Write one mail with placeholders and let the details change per record. These openings tend to work with painters and decorators.
- 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.

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.
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. Read the deliverability guide before your first send.
Questions people ask
No. Riftjaw is not a data vendor. You collect the painters and decorators 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.
Yes. Put Dunedin in its own segment, or keep a City field and save a filter such as city contains Dunedin. You always see which part of the market you already worked.
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.
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.
If you have a first name field, use a placeholder like {first_name|there}. If not, the fallback keeps the greeting natural.
