Bagger Dave's Freshly-Crafted Burger Tavern Kicks Off Loyalty Program With ePrize

ePrize Powers a Rewards Program That Allows Consumers to Create Their Own Rewards


DETROIT, MI--(Marketwired - Dec 2, 2013) - ePrize, a global leader in digital, mobile, social and live-event engagement, today announced a new mobile loyalty program, Bagger Dave's Fresh Rewards, for Bagger Dave's Freshly-Crafted Burger Tavern. Michigan-based Bagger Dave's partnered with Detroit-headquartered ePrize to create a loyalty and in-store rewards program aimed at better understanding and expanding the brand's customer base with tangible data and insights.

Patrons can participate in Bagger Dave's Fresh Rewards via microsite registration, SMS or by scanning an in-store QR code. Once enrolled, patrons are rewarded by checking in at any Bagger Dave's location, purchasing specific products, rating their dining experience, referring friends, or sharing the program via Twitter or Facebook. The mobile program also includes dynamic instant win game experiences with a variety of rewards. These include gift certificates, along with big ticket prizes such as $10,000 to use toward a holiday shopping spree.

"Bagger Dave's isn't your ordinary burger joint. With our customizable burgers, craft drinks, and interior design details like local historical photos on the wall, we've created an entire experience with an authentic, comfortable feel," said Rebecca Raver, Vice President of Marketing at Bagger Dave's. "With ePrize's capabilities, we've been able to launch a mobile loyalty and rewards program equally as personal. Now patrons can customize their in-store experience and rewards, all via mobile."

Bagger Dave's Fresh Rewards is a useful internal SMB tool for the business as well. With customer surveys, Bagger Dave's can increase its CRM database, engage more effectively with its current guests and expand to a key target demographic (young professionals ages 18-35).

The brand wanted to enhance its personalized experience by leveraging a tailor-made loyalty and rewards program. Bagger Dave's partnered with ePrize to create an agile campaign with the flexibility to optimize based on consumer insights and program performance.

"We took a different approach with this campaign since Bagger Dave's is not only launching a mobile loyalty campaign, but motivating consumers to answer various questions about what the next enhancement will be. It will be designed based on what they say," said Matt Kates, Vice President of Strategic Services at ePrize. "With this loyalty campaign, we're aiming to promote and reward Bagger Dave's consumers based on their unique, individual preferences, overall taking the loyalty campaign to a new level of personalization."

Bagger Dave's Fresh Rewards kicks off less than a month after the opening of a new Bagger Dave's restaurant in the heart of downtown Detroit, nearby the iconic M@dison Building. Visit http://baggerdaves.com/rewards/ to learn more about the Fresh Rewards program.
