Unsubscribes mailed again when you sell to printing companies

What if someone who asked to be left alone gets your next campaign? Here is how people who sell to printing companies fix it.

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

What if someone who asked to be left alone gets your next campaign?

When lists are re-imported or copied, people who unsubscribed can slip back in. With spreadsheets there is no reliable way to prevent it.

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.

Mailing someone who opted out damages trust and can cause complaints. It also goes against the rules in many countries.

Unsubscribed means never mailed again.

Riftjaw keeps an opt-out register. Unsubscribed contacts are skipped automatically in every campaign and are never mailed again. You do not have to remember to filter them out.

  • 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

The fix, step by step

  • Let the register work. Unsubscribes are recorded automatically.
  • Send with confidence. Future campaigns skip those contacts without extra steps.

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

Add these as fields in your lead file. Any column in your import can become a field.

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.
Print typeDigital, litho, large format or packaging printers buy different kit.
PressesThe equipment on the floor tells you what they may replace.
Trade or retailTrade printers serve resellers, retail printers serve end customers.
StaffShows size and budget.
Production managerOften the person who evaluates new equipment and consumables.

Questions people ask

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.
