Why event planners in Sunderland are worth a list of your own

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.

Sunderland sits in Tyne and Wear, the UK, close to Newcastle upon Tyne, York and Leeds. Build the Sunderland list first, then add the surrounding towns as their own segments, so you always know which part of the area you already covered.

Most sellers work from a bought list that everyone else has too. A list of event planners in Sunderland that you built yourself is the one nobody else is emailing yet.

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.
