What event planners are like as prospects

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.

Early in the week and outside peak event season are best, since planners are on site most weekends and during busy seasons.

Where lists of event planners sit in the open

You do not need to buy data to reach event planners. Most of them are listed publicly, with a name, a website and often a phone number.

  • Event industry association member lists
  • Wedding and event directories
  • Google Maps listings
  • Trade show exhibitor lists

Working a list of event planners in Riftjaw

What gets in the way, and how it is handled

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.

Relationships grow over several seasons.

Notes and history on each contact keep the context when you reach out again next year.

Angles that get event planners to reply

Use one angle per campaign, so the results show which one gets event planners to click.

  • 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.
