Reaching event planners in Derby
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.
Start with Derby itself and keep Nottingham, Leicester and Stoke-on-Trent as separate segments. That way a campaign never reaches the same event planner twice, and you can see at a glance how much of Derbyshire is done.
Every week you wait, the event planners in Derby that are ready to buy talk to someone else. The businesses that reach them first with a relevant offer are the ones that get the reply.
Build your Derby list of event planners in four steps
You check every step before anything is saved or sent.
Collect event planners in Derby
Export event planners in Derby from event industry association member lists or wedding and event directories as CSV, or paste the results page into paste and collect.
Import into one lead file
Drop the file into a lead file called Event Planners Derby. Columns are matched for you and duplicates are flagged before anything is saved.
Fill in the missing emails
No email in the export? Tick hello@, info@, events@ and enquiries@ and addresses are derived from each website.
Reach them in small batches
Pick the segment, keep only status New, write one mail with placeholders like {company|your team} and send it in small batches.
Fields worth recording for event planners in Derby
Any column in your import can become a field. These are the ones worth keeping for event planners.

Read moreEmailing event planners in the UK
In the UK, B2B cold email is covered by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and UK GDPR. PECR generally allows marketing email to corporate subscribers such as limited companies without prior consent, but sole traders and some partnerships are treated like individuals and usually need consent, and every message must identify you and offer a simple way to opt out. Under UK GDPR you also need a lawful basis, often legitimate interests, to use the details of named contacts. This is general information, not legal advice.
Early in the week and outside peak event season are best, since planners are on site most weekends and during busy seasons. Read the deliverability guide before your first send.
