Reaching event planners in Manchester

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 Manchester itself and keep Salford, Stockport and Bolton as separate segments. That way a campaign never reaches the same event planner twice, and you can see at a glance how much of Greater Manchester is done.

Your competitors are already emailing event planners in Manchester. With your own list you reach them in a planned way instead of hoping they find you.

What slows down prospecting event planners, and the fix

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

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.

Emailing 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.
