GAS & CONVENIENCE STORES

Convenience That’s a Bit More Convenient

Just a Quick Stop?

Visiting a c-store used to be about finding the cheapest gas, picking up a snack, and getting back on the road.

That’s been changing. Fresh meals, mobile apps, and special offers are making c-store loyalty programs worth a detour.

Some stores are trying new ways to turn visitors into repeat customers with geofencing technology:

  • Activating location-based offers

  • Enabling order-ahead and curbside pickup

  • Using customer data to improve service
  • Driving foot traffic into c-stores with loyalty reminders

Stand out as an experience worth a detour.

 of in-store gross profits.

It’s easy to see why c-stores have invested in made-to-order meals and food pick-up service. Customers love the ability to order ahead.

However, the order-ahead experience can go badly if their food is cold or isn’t ready when they arrive. 

That’s where geofencing comes in. Make it simple to prioritize orders, know exactly when to prep them, and have meals ready for pickup the moment a driver arrives. No hardware required.

Customers simply order, grab, and go.

Loyalty Offers and Rewards

Although loyalty programs are more popular than ever, c-stores often fail to make the most of them.

With geofencing, you can create personalized experiences that boost engagement and drive foot traffic:

  • Prompt visitors to redeem points when they arrive for store visits

  • Use location to trigger special offers while they’re at the pump (e.g. two-for-one deals or spin-to-win rewards)

  • Understand customer behavior for better location based marketing
  • Send a timely customer feedback survey with a simple push notification
