With Zingr Updates Manchester's Taste of the Nation Patrons Won't Miss a Thing at This Year's Event
Patrons upgrade their experience at no cost when they opt-in to receive Zingr's instant phone updates giving them inside information on what's happening at the event and access to special deals unavailable to the general public.
Manchester, NH (PRWEB) May 6, 2009 -- Zingr Communications, a leader in mobile marketing solutions, today announced that it has partnered with Share Our Strength's Taste of the Nation Manchester® to help connect sponsors, vendors and patrons at tonight's event. The Manchester Taste of the Nation event brings the hottest chefs and mixologists from the region together to raise the critical funds needed to end childhood hunger in New Hampshire and across the country. With more than 45 restaurants and nearly 20 vineyards participating, Taste of the Nation is an amazing way for local establishments to reach out to the community and woo new customers with culinary delights, all while supporting local efforts to ensure that no child grows up hungry. However, with the expected audience of 800 patrons, Taste of the Nation's organizers wanted to find a better way to stay connected with their audience and keep people up-to-date as things are happening on the show floor and after the event.

"One of the unique aspects of Taste of the Nation is that once we collect tickets at the door, patrons are free to enjoy the event at their leisure. The lack of a formal program differentiates our event from other fundraisers but also makes it challenging to notify people of specific milestones during the evening - such as a special chef presentation in the VIP area or the closing of the silent auction," said Holly Stark, Co-Chair of Taste of the Nation. "Zingr's messaging solution gives us a direct way to connect the people attending Taste of the Nation with the most current and useful information about what's happening and how they can be a part of the experience."
As ticket holders arrive at the reception, they have the option to receive mobile messages directly on their phone. Using Zingr's new mobile marketing engagement platform, Zingr instantly registers people to receive text messages of event milestones in real-time, helping to ensure that patrons can make the most of their time at the event through its targeted messages which are always sent to the appropriate audience at the appropriate time.
"We are happy and honored to partner with one of the premier charitable events in New Hampshire," said Mark Haddad, Zingr's president and founder. "Taste of the Nation knows there are bottlenecks on the show floor and was looking for a new way to make sure that attendees make the most of their time at the event and that the restaurants see the traffic and attention they expect. Zingr's mobile marketing is the perfect answer. Pushing targeted messages to people on the floor when appropriate will help the flow of traffic and give patrons a new way to experience Taste of the Nation. We are confident that by using our mobile marketing solution, Taste of the Nation will enjoy an increased level of success this year and for years to come."
