Copying from directory pages when you sell to furniture stores
Are you still copying company names from a web page one by one? Here is how people who sell to furniture stores fix it.
Are you still copying company names from a web page one by one?
A directory or member list shows exactly the companies you want, but there is no export button. Copying every name, website and phone number by hand takes forever.
It hits harder when you sell to furniture stores. Furniture stores include independent showrooms, specialist sofa and bed shops, and regional chains. Owners or buyers choose ranges, delivery partners and finance options, and big ticket sales make service and delivery a key concern.
Useful lists stay on the page because turning them into rows is too much work. Manual copying also introduces errors.
Paste a page, get rows.
With paste and collect you paste the HTML of a page you opened yourself into Riftjaw. You pick the repeating blocks, turn them into rows and send them to import. Riftjaw does not crawl the web; you supply the page.
- Fields that fit furniture stores, such as categories
- Email prefixes that fit, like info@, sales@, showroom@ and enquiries@
- Status, tags and a segment on every record
The fix, step by step
- Paste the HTML. Copy the source of the page you opened and paste it in.
- Pick the blocks. Select the repeating block that holds one company.
- Send to import. Turn the blocks into rows and map them like any other file.
Other walls when prospecting furniture stores
Premium and budget stores need different ranges and messages.
A price level field and a saved filter for each tier keep offers relevant.
Chains list every branch separately.
Use the website as the key field so branches are flagged as duplicates on import.
Buyers want to see products, so email is only the first step.
Tag contacts for a showroom visit and keep notes on what they liked.
Fields worth recording for furniture stores
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. |
| Categories | Sofas, beds, dining or office furniture each need different suppliers. |
| Showrooms | The number of showrooms shows scale. |
| Price level | Budget and premium stores stock very different ranges. |
| Delivery | Whether they deliver themselves or outsource it. |
| Online sales | Stores selling online need photography and product content. |
Questions people ask
Add a price level field and fill it from their website. Then save a filter for each level and send a matching campaign.
Yes. Update the status, add a tag such as visited and write a note on the contact.
If your file has an email column, that wins. If it only has websites, tick the prefixes you want, such as info@, sales@, showroom@ and enquiries@, 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.
