Reaching event planners in Wellington

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 Wellington itself and keep Palmerston North, Napier and Nelson as separate segments. That way a campaign never reaches the same event planner twice, and you can see at a glance how much of the area around Wellington is done.

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

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.

Openings that work with event planners

Pick one angle per campaign and write it once, with placeholders like {company|your team} for the details.

  • 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 New Zealand

In New Zealand, the Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act 2007 requires consent for commercial electronic messages. Consent can be express, inferred from an existing relationship, or deemed when someone has conspicuously published their work address without saying they do not want messages and your message relates to their role. Every message must identify the sender and include a working unsubscribe facility. 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

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.

No. Riftjaw is not a data vendor. You collect the event planners yourself from public sources or your own files and import them. That is why the list is yours and why there is no credit meter on it.

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.

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.
