Contacts list in Riftjaw with company, phone, email, segment, campaigns and tags

How old is the list you are about to email?

Businesses move, close or change their website, and a list that was accurate last year slowly decays. Bought lists are often stale before you receive them.

Stale data means bounces and wasted effort on companies that no longer exist. It also hurts your sender reputation.

You choose the source, so you control freshness.

In Riftjaw you supply the source yourself, so you decide how fresh it is. Import a new version of a list and duplicates against your database are flagged, so only new companies are added. Records that are no longer relevant can be archived, and every record shows the date it came in.
