Baja Fresh, La Salsa to Build Brands through Rewards Network
Diners Earn Rewards at 199 Corporate Owned Locations
Chains endorse Rewards Network for Franchisees
CHICAGO - February 25, 2008 - In a move to build brand awareness and attract
a new customer base, original fresh-Mexican concept chains Baja Fresh and
La Salsa have joined Rewards Network, the leading provider of dining
frequency programs in North America.
"Rewards Network is a time-proven company that delivers diners who enjoy
earning Cashback RewardsSM or awards from the major frequent flyer programs
and other affinity programs," said Baja Fresh and La Salsa Chief Development Officer
James Walker. "We want Baja Fresh and La Salsa to benefit from the partner
relationships and marketing programs Rewards Network offers."
Both Baja Fresh and La Salsa specialize in freshly prepared Mexican
entrees and sides including burritos, tacos, salads, and authentic
salsas. Fire-grilled choices like shrimp, pork, chicken, sirloin steak,
mahi-mahi and fire-roasted vegetables allow customers to customize their
order for a quality meal. In part due to the quality of its menu,
Baja Fresh was named the Mexican Chain of the Year in 2007 by Restaurants & Institutions
magazine. "This is the freshest, tastiest Mexican food you'll ever eat," said Walker.
As part of Rewards Network, Baja Fresh and La Salsa participating locations will be
marketed through email, online promotion, and direct mail to millions of active Rewards
Network members. Customized reporting and member comments will allow the
restaurants to study customer feedback and trends.
"Whether you want to dine-in or grab a fantastic Mexican meal to go, Baja
Fresh and La Salsa will be a popular and frequent choice for our members," said Rewards
Network President and CEO Ron Blake. "These are excellent brands
and we're excited to have them on the program."
