Lost the original file when you sell to printing companies
Could you find the file your current list came from? Here is how people who sell to printing companies fix it.
Could you find the file your current list came from?
After a few rounds of editing, nobody knows what the original list looked like or where it came from. When something looks wrong, there is nothing to check it against.
It hits harder when you sell to printing companies. Printing companies run from small digital print shops to large commercial and packaging printers. Owners and production managers buy machinery, paper, inks and software, usually after comparing running costs and reliability.
Errors cannot be traced back to their source. You also lose proof of where your data came from.
The original file stays with every import.
Riftjaw keeps the original import file attached to each import. You can get the original file back whenever you need it. Every record also keeps its source and date.
- Fields that fit printing companies, such as print type
- Email prefixes that fit, like info@, sales@, studio@ and orders@
- Status, tags and a segment on every record
Fixing it in Riftjaw
- Import as usual. The uploaded file is stored with the import automatically.
- Open the import. Find the import in your history when you need to check something.
- Get the file back. Retrieve the original file exactly as it was uploaded.
Other walls when prospecting printing companies
Print shops and large commercial printers are listed side by side.
A print type field and saved filters separate them before any campaign goes out.
Sales@ addresses at printers reach account managers busy with quotes.
Tick info@ and your own prefixes too, and log which one got a response.
Equipment decisions come around every few years.
Notes and tags hold the timing, so you can filter on them when a replacement cycle comes up.
Fields worth recording for printing companies
Any column in your import can become a field. These are the ones worth keeping for printing companies.
| 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. |
| Print type | Digital, litho, large format or packaging printers buy different kit. |
| Presses | The equipment on the floor tells you what they may replace. |
| Trade or retail | Trade printers serve resellers, retail printers serve end customers. |
| Staff | Shows size and budget. |
| Production manager | Often the person who evaluates new equipment and consumables. |

Import a list of printers, add a field for print type and fill it from their websites. Save a filter per type and send each one a relevant campaign.
Yes. Add a date field or a note on the contact, then filter on that date when the time comes.
If your file has an email column, that wins. If it only has websites, tick the prefixes you want, such as info@, sales@, studio@ and orders@, and Riftjaw derives addresses from each domain. Derived addresses are good guesses, not verified, so start with small batches.
