Why wholesalers in Christchurch are worth a list of your own
Wholesalers buy in bulk from producers and sell to retailers, trades or hospitality, with owners, buyers and warehouse managers each involved in decisions. They look for new product lines, better logistics and tools that handle many orders with a small team.
Start with Christchurch itself and keep Nelson, Dunedin and Queenstown as separate segments. That way a campaign never reaches the same wholesaler twice, and you can see at a glance how much of Canterbury is done.
Your competitors are already emailing wholesalers in Christchurch. With your own list you reach them in a planned way instead of hoping they find you.
Build your Christchurch list of wholesalers in four steps
You check every step before anything is saved or sent.
Collect wholesalers in Christchurch
Export wholesalers in Christchurch from wholesale and distribution association lists or trade show exhibitor 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 Wholesalers Christchurch. 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@, orders@ and buying@ 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 wholesalers in Christchurch
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. |
| Product categories | Food, building materials or consumer goods each need a different pitch. |
| Customer type | Selling to retail, trade or hospitality changes their needs. |
| Warehouses | Multiple sites mean larger logistics needs. |
| Order system | Shows whether they take orders online or by phone. |
| Buyer | The person who decides on new product lines. |
What slows down prospecting wholesalers, and the fix
Orders@ addresses are flooded with customer orders.
Choose buying@ or info@ as prefixes instead, and add your own where it fits.
Wholesaler lists span unrelated categories.
Tag categories and save a filter per tag, so each campaign fits the product range.
Buyers ask for samples and pricing, and follow-ups slip.
Tags such as samples sent and notes with dates keep follow-ups on track.
Openings that work with wholesalers
Write one mail with placeholders and let the details change per record. These openings tend to work with wholesalers.
- For brands: show margin and sell through, with a clear product sheet.
- For services: focus on order handling, picking accuracy and delivery times.
- Refer to their product range so the offer clearly fits their customers.

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.
Midweek mornings are good; avoid their own seasonal peaks and the weeks of big trade shows in their sector. Read the deliverability guide before your first send.
Questions people ask
If your file has an email column, that wins. If it only has websites, tick the prefixes you want, such as info@, sales@, orders@ and buying@, 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 wholesalers 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 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.
Import wholesaler lists from trade show pages or directories into a segment per category and send each one a short campaign. Track replies with statuses.
Yes. Use a tag and a note with the date, then filter on the tag when it is time to follow up.
