Daily activity

Rotates through towns across 26 countries, with Scotland excluded. Automatic town discovery expands the list over time. An active temporary focus overrides the worldwide rotation. International sending requires verified country and business contact evidence; countries needing consent remain held until permission is recorded.

Adds up to one new town per active country daily, prioritising larger population centres. Explicit town lists stay limited to your selection. Uses the existing venue-search budget.

    Town data: GeoNames, CC BY 4.0, filtered for TDE outreach.

    Gives these countries extra discovery and verification checks, and starts a separate eligible overseas batch overnight. Worldwide sending continues and shares the same mailbox limit. Applies with worldwide and 24-hour sending enabled; temporary focuses take precedence. Australian contacts without recorded permission remain held.

    The daily limit covers introductions and follow-ups across this sending mailbox. Replies come to Chris. Sending uses the eligible venues available. The verified Smartlead Pro plan allows 90,000 sends per billing month and 30,000 stored contacts. The single-mailbox ceiling is 400/day, including follow-ups, with at least three-minute spacing. Around-the-clock mode allows queued messages to continue across midnight.

    Follow-ups use the saved follow-up subject and stop on a reply, unsubscribe or bounce. Changing this applies to new batches.

    With around-the-clock mode enabled, sending continues day and night. Otherwise the saved hours use Europe/London, including UK clock changes. The sending mailbox shares one daily limit across all campaigns.

    Suitable venues must be bars, pubs or nightclubs with drinks offers, entertainment, a student audience or live sport. Scotland, radius exclusions and live TDE licence holders remain excluded.

    The website rule accepts a venue’s own website for the business check. Company status remains unverified where operator evidence is missing.

    Temporary country focus

    The search returns to your default country after the end date. International recipients must satisfy the country and permission checks before sending.

    Exclusion zones

    Venues with a live TDE licence are automatically excluded. Live licence records are checked before each batch and throughout sending, including follow-ups. Matching uses the registered email, business domain and venue name. If the live list cannot be checked, sending is held.

    Scotland is excluded from all UK outreach. UK searches cover England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Venues whose nation cannot be verified are held.

    Manage your own exclusion list. Venues inside these circles receive no outreach. Distances are measured in a straight line; venues with missing locations or uncertain boundary distances are held for review.

    Change a radius or remove a zone, then select Save settings.

    Adding an address or postcode saves it immediately. Pause outreach, then check exclusions and resume to cancel queued recipients inside a new zone. UK postcodes use their verified postcode centre. Address lookup: © OpenStreetMap contributors.

    Previous contacts and opt-outs (optional)

    Chris has confirmed there are no previous contact lists to exclude. New contacts are still checked to prevent repeated outreach.

    Permanent do-not-contact list

    Removal requests in outreach replies are checked automatically every five minutes, including replies to older campaigns. Blocked addresses stay excluded from new outreach, follow-ups and the consented marketing export, even if discovered again.
