Austin, Texas – April 15, 2010 – The Sage Closer, a PR and social media marketing firm based in Austin, hopes a four-course meal will convince business owners hungry for growth and good food to try the firm’s innovative services.
What began as an April fool’s joke has become a “main entrée” in The Sage Closer’s search for Austin customers who appreciate a well-turned phrase. The Sage Closer, which provides press releases, blogging services, marketing campaigns and social media consulting for customers as far away as Malaysia, will cook for any Austin business that becomes a new customer in the month of April.
The Sage Closer’s “Meals-for-Deals” promotion, which runs the entire month of April, is an innovative pairing of fine cuisine and marketing for Austin businesses interested in growing their brand awareness, reaching more prospects and improving website search engine rankings.
Firm founder, Dave Manzer, conceived of the idea after a camping trip where friends from many different cultures spent most of their time in the great outdoors around the picnic table cooking, tasting food and sharing ideas. “People open up more when they’re eating a good meal,” Manzer states. “The initial marketing strategy session will follow the meal so that ideas can flow more easily and people are most open-minded.”
Manzer believes one of the benefits of cooking for customers is how quickly he’ll get to know what they like and how they approach business. “You’d be amazed at how much you can learn about people just from what they eat,” he offers. “Not too mention, anybody who appreciates combining fine cuisine, wine and business is more often than not somebody I’ll readily identify with. That’s a learning opportunity that will pay dividends when it comes time to develop creative campaigns promoting a particular business,” Manzer adds.
After years of traveling internationally for business, Manzer is no stranger to sampling fine food from around the world. “Some of my more memorable meals were at a curry house in London, an out-of-the-way bistro in Paris and a Lebanese café in Prague,” he recalls. Manzer hopes his “Meals-for-Deals” promotion will create lasting memories for future Austin business customers as well.
