We are
creatures of habit. We shop at the same stores, eat basically the same foods,
travel the same route to and from our destinations, and fill up our cars 3 or 4
times a month at the same 2 or 3 pumps. These patterns of behavior are
predictable and measurable; just ask convenience store owners.
National averages for c-stores with gas pumps are reaching
30,000 visitors a
month. Looking at the data closely, reveals that most of the visitors are repeat
customers who either work or live within 3 miles of the store. Furthermore, time
at the pump is between 3 or 4 minutes, which in marketing terms is considered a
captive audience: no channel changing, no station flipping, no urgent e-mail.
Our GPB program fills that 3 - 4 minute gap of time by placing a 4 color
laminated poster on top of the gas pump. The poster offers our clients a unique
opportunity to reach this captive audience and either push (inform) or pull
(suggest action) their message. Either way, as the data supports, the message
will be seen repeatedly by the same consumer who lives, works and spends money
close to these pumps. As marketers we see this as opportunity.
Traditionally gas pump toppers have been used to entice consumers into the store
to sell more chips, pop, or get a car wash. Our approach is to recognize
the c-store as an anchor of the neighborhood, and see their real estate as a
chance to educate and inform consumers about local businesses in their traffic
pattern.
Restaurants, realtors, retailers, health clubs, insurance brokers and many
others look to our GPB program to deliver their message effectively (captive
audience) frequently (saturation) efficiently (low cost per thousand) and
targeted (demographics in a specific region). We have agreements with
convenience stores across central Minnesota and are ready to put a program
together which could be the best advertising value you ever seen.
