Reaching event planners in Portsmouth
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 Portsmouth itself and keep Southampton, Brighton and Bournemouth as separate segments. That way a campaign never reaches the same event planner twice, and you can see at a glance how much of Hampshire is done.
Your competitors are already emailing event planners in Portsmouth. With your own list you reach them in a planned way instead of hoping they find you.
Build your Portsmouth list of event planners in four steps
Every import waits as a concept until you publish it, so nothing lands in your database by accident.
Collect event planners in Portsmouth
Export event planners in Portsmouth 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 Portsmouth. 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 Portsmouth
Record these and you can split the list later, write sharper mails and see who fits your offer.
| Field | Why it helps |
|---|---|

| Event types | Weddings, corporate events and festivals need different suppliers. |

| Area covered | Planners work locally, nationally or abroad. |

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.
Questions people ask
Yes. Put Portsmouth in its own segment, or keep a City field and save a filter such as city contains Portsmouth. You always see which part of the market you already worked.
Yes. The Free plan runs the whole pipeline on one list with small campaigns, and you do not need a credit card. Move to Pro when you want more lists, segments and bigger campaigns.
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.
Reach out outside their peak season with examples of relevant work, then follow up. In Riftjaw you track each step with statuses, tags and notes.
Yes. Add tags or a field for event types and save a filter for each group.
