Selling website design, builds and redesigns to event planners

Event planners range from freelance wedding planners to agencies running conferences and corporate events. They book venues, suppliers and technology on behalf of clients, so they are both buyers and gatekeepers for many other businesses.

Web design studios usually win projects through referrals and by approaching businesses whose website looks dated or does not work well on a phone. Your own lead database keeps those prospects in one list, with a note on what you would improve for each of them.

Every month you do not reach event planners with a clear offer, someone else does. A list you own lets you work the market in a steady rhythm instead of in bursts.

What web design studios run into with event planners

You collect prospect websites while browsing but lose them in bookmarks and notes.

Import the websites or paste a directory page into the scrape tool and keep everything in one lead file.

Each prospect needs a personal touch, which makes outreach slow.

Use placeholders for the company name and your own fields, so every email reads personal without writing it from scratch.

Planners are on site at events and slow to reply.

Open tracking shows who read your mail, so a short follow-up goes only to the interested ones.

Wedding planners and corporate planners are mixed in one list.

Tag event types and save a filter per type.

What to say to event planners

Write one mail with placeholders and let the details change per record. These openings tend to work with event planners.

  • Show how you make their events run smoother and make them look good to their clients.
  • Share examples from similar events, with details on logistics and timing.
  • Offer to be their reliable backup for last minute needs, which planners value highly.

Yes. Add tags or a field for event types and save a filter for each group.

If your file has an email column, that wins. If it only has websites, tick the prefixes you want, such as hello@, info@, events@ and enquiries@, and Riftjaw derives addresses from each domain. Derived addresses are good guesses, not verified, so start with small batches.
