Is your last campaign sitting in spam folders right now?

Sending a large blast from a fresh domain is a quick way to end up in spam. Many tools push volume first and leave you to deal with the consequences.

It hits harder when you sell to removal companies. Removal companies move homes and offices and often offer packing and storage as well. They run vans and crews on tight schedules, so owners care about vehicle costs, staff and a steady flow of quote requests.

Emails that land in spam are never read, and a damaged sender reputation also hurts your normal mail. Recovering takes time.

Small batches instead of big blasts.

Riftjaw sends campaigns in small batches, so volume stays gentle. You send a test to yourself first and can pause and resume at any moment. Sending goes through the mail setup of your account, and unsubscribed contacts are skipped automatically.

  • Fields that fit removal companies, such as storage offered
  • Email prefixes that fit, like info@, enquiries@, sales@ and office@
  • Status, tags and a segment on every record

Other walls when prospecting removal companies

Removal firms and man with a van operators are mixed together.

Add a Fleet size field and tags, then save a filter for the firms that match your offer.

You send the same message to firms that do storage and firms that do not.

A Storage offered field lets you split the list and write each campaign with the right angle.

Quote season is short and your follow-ups come too late.

Pick the segment, narrow the campaign to status Contacted and send a gentle follow-up when it still counts.

Fields worth recording for removal companies

Any column in your import can become a field. These are the ones worth keeping for removal companies.

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.
Storage offeredFirms with their own storage buy racking and containers.
Office movesCommercial removals are a separate audience with bigger jobs.
International movesFirms moving abroad work with shipping partners and customs paperwork.
Fleet sizeShows how much they spend on vehicles and fuel.

Questions people ask

Yes. Record Office moves in a field or tag based on their website and save a filter for each group.

Enquiries@ and sales@ often go to the person who handles quotes. Email from domain can suggest these, but they remain guesses until confirmed.

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