You find a venue, look for a booking email, write a pitch, send it and... nothing. You forget to follow up. Three months later you see the venue booking a band that started reaching out after you did.
The problem isn't your music—it's that there's no system to track who you've contacted, when to follow up and what you said last time.
Research, pitch and follow up from one pipeline
The Band Planned turns venue outreach into a structured process. For each lead, you can research the booking contact, generate a personalised pitch email, track whether you've contacted them and set a follow-up date.
Leads are sorted by urgency—follow-ups due today surface first, contacted leads waiting on a reply sink to the bottom. Nothing gets forgotten.
Booking contact research
The app searches for booking email addresses, phone numbers and contact names.
Personalised pitch generation
A pitch email is drafted from your band or act's profile, EPK and the venue's context.
Lead states & follow-ups
New, Draft ready, Contacted, Interested, Booked—with follow-up dates so nothing goes cold.
Unverified email warnings
The app flags when a contact email couldn't be verified so you can double-check before sending.
A outreach pipeline that actually converts
You're not guessing whether you followed up with that pub three weeks ago—you can see it. Leads that need action today are at the top. Leads waiting on a reply are organised below. You work the pipeline and book more gigs.
Frequently asked questions
How are booking contacts researched?
The app searches publicly available information for each venue to find booking email addresses, phone numbers and contact names. When an email can't be verified, you're warned before sending.
Can I customise the pitch email?
Yes. The app generates a draft from your band or act's profile and the venue's context. You edit the subject and body before sending it from your own email client.
How do follow-up reminders work?
When you mark a lead as contacted, you can set a follow-up date. Leads with a follow-up due are sorted to the top of your list so you see them first.
