How loyal are your customers? Will they inconvenience themselves just to experience the convenience of your store? The data* says, yes! - 79% of North American consumers with a favorite convenience store will go out of their way to visit that store, even if it means passing other options along the way. - 75% said they’d drive up to 10 minutes out of their way just to visit their retailer of choice. Nearly half would even put off a bathroom break or push their vehicle’s tank close to empty. So how do you grow a community of loyal customers beyond offering enticing BOGO deals and fuel discounts? Consider all the roles you play in your community. Your #cstore is the: ☕ Corner coffee shop 🍔 The local lunch counter ⛽ The road trip pitstop 📣 The pregame HQ for your local sports team 😁 And the friendly faces people see every day Let's leverage that! Here are a few ideas to get started: 🔦Local Spotlight: Feature a "Local Product of the Week" with a special promotion. Partner with a local bakery for fresh pastries on Wednesdays or a discount on locally sourced produce. This attracts customers and supports your community. ✨Exclusive Member Events: Host "Members Only" events like coffee tastings with local roasters or trivia nights with prizes from the store itself. The prize doesn't have to be too lavish, but ensure it acts as a touchpoint for your brand. 🤳Community Challenges: Organize a social media challenge where people post pictures enjoying your products at local events or parks. Offer a discount or prize for the most creative entry. Monitor retailers like yours in other markets to identify more successful ideas. By using promotions strategically to incentivize community engagement, you build deeper connections with your customers. They'll see your store as a local supporter, not just another gas station on the side of the road. ❓ What are your best tips for #community building?
