How Convenience-Store Analytics Can Generate Traction & Loyalty

In today's highly competitive market, it's important for businesses to not only attract new customers but to also retain existing ones. One of the most effective ways to achieve this is by offering a loyalty program that rewards customers for their continued business. However, not all loyalty programs are created equal, and some may not provide enough benefits to keep customers coming back.


This is where customizable loyalty offerings come in. Unlike traditional loyalty programs that offer generic rewards, customizable loyalty offerings allow businesses to personalize rewards based on the specific needs and buying habits of their customers. This can result in increased customer satisfaction, loyalty, and ultimately, profits.


Let's take a closer look at some of the key features and benefits of customizable loyalty offerings.


Comprehensive Analytics

To establish a successful loyalty program, it's essential to have access to accurate and insightful data about your customers' buying habits, preferences, and behaviors. This is where comprehensive analytics come in.


Customizable loyalty offerings provide businesses with actionable data that can be used to create profitable relationships with tobacco and suppliers. By analyzing customers' buying habits, businesses can identify what products and services they are most interested in and tailor their rewards accordingly. This can help increase customer satisfaction and loyalty, as customers are more likely to stick with a business that offers rewards that are relevant to their needs.


Automatic Deals

In addition to providing valuable data, customizable loyalty offerings also come with the added benefit of automatic deals. These deals are sent out to customers based on their personal buying habits, making it easy for them to take advantage of the rewards that are most relevant to them.


By automating the reward process, businesses can save time and resources while still providing a high level of customer service. This can help to build trust and loyalty among customers, as they know that they will always be able to easily access the rewards they have earned.


Texts at the pump

Using mobile technology to communicate with customers has become increasingly popular in recent years. Now, convenience stores with gas stations are tapping into this trend by offering loyalty customers personalized text messages when they input their mobile number at the pump. This technology offers several benefits to both the c-store and the customer.


Increased Customer Loyalty at your C-Store

With texts at the pump, the convenience store benefits from increased customer loyalty. By offering personalized promotions, discounts, and offers, loyal customers are incentivized to continue using the gas station for their fuel needs. This means that the convenience store can count on repeat business at its station, which is key to maintaining a strong customer base.


Tailored Promotions that Increase Margins and Foot Traffic

Personalized text messages provide the convenience store with the all-important ability to tailor promotions to people who are already at the pump. This gives c-stores the option to run promotions to customers while they are only steps away from the location, and has the opportunity to increase foot traffic by 12%! Additionally, by configuring promotions to encourage sales of high-ticket items, retailers can see their average ticket size increase by about double. want and tailor promotions to meet those needs. This not only benefits the store in terms of increased sales but also helps them to better serve their customers by providing the products and services they want.


More Relevant Product Offerings for your Customers

Customers will also benefit from the convenience and personalization of receiving text messages. Instead of having to check a website or search for promotions, customers can receive personalized promotions directly on their mobile device. This means that they are more likely to take advantage of the offers, which can save them money on fuel and other products. Additionally, the increase in sales data that comes with the implementation of these loyalty programs can be made available to vendors, increasing their incentive to help sponsor the program’s implementation on your end!


Overall, the use of personalized text messages at gas stations is a win-win for both the convenience store and the customer. By offering personalized promotions, the retailer can increase customer loyalty and sales, while customers benefit from the convenience and savings that come with receiving customized offers.


Fast and Easy Enrollment

One of the biggest challenges of implementing a loyalty program is getting customers to enroll. With traditional programs, this often involves filling out lengthy forms or providing personal information, which can be time-consuming and frustrating for customers.


Customizable loyalty offerings solve this problem by providing a customer-facing kiosk that makes enrollment fast and easy. When customers scan their DL, enrollment takes only 30 seconds or less. This streamlined process helps ensure that customers are more likely to enroll and start taking advantage of the rewards program right away!


Mobile App Access

In today's mobile-first world, it's essential for loyalty programs to be easily accessible from a mobile device. Customizable loyalty offerings include a mobile app that is included at no extra cost. This app provides all the same exciting features as the kiosk, making it easy for customers to redeem coupons and points on the go.


Redemption of coupons and points are automatic, helping your clerks to keep the line moving and your customers’ hands free to grab more goodies. The convenience of the mobile app makes it more likely that customers will continue to use the loyalty program and engage with your business.


ECards and B2B Invoicing

Customizable loyalty offerings also provide businesses with the ability to track and take care of all B2B invoicing, such as for tobacco and beverage vendors. This can help increase the value of any business accounts while decreasing the time you spend on them.


The ECards included in the loyalty program have customizable limits put in place to prevent fraud and can also limit the approved SKUs for employee use. This makes it easy for businesses to manage employee purchases and ensure that they are only buying approved products and services.
