Gas and Convenience Store Marketing and Promotion Ideas - Mina Gorgyos

You can use these promotions ideas to incentivize more sales in your gas station convenience store by providing greater value to your customers.

Paired Item Discounts

Giving discounts on items that your customers tend to purchase together (bags of chips, car charger and headphones with mic, hot dog and soda, etc.) is a great way to drive sales and secure the loyalty of customers already buying these items together. Use inventory purchase data to pick item pairs already being bought regularly and to find good items to discount as a pair.

Customer Rewards/Loyalty Program

Customer reward/loyalty programs are a great way to promote your store and get more repeat business from people who visit your store all the time. Whether you’re offering discounts or free items, rewards should be substantial enough to be appreciated by your customers, so don’t be stingy with your loyalty incentives!

Hold Contests Regularly Holding and advertising contests is a great way to generate local buzz for your convenience store and attract passers by who hope to win big. Contests can also be a great community outreach tool for increasing local interest and sales. For example, a contest for local kids to color in a simplified drawing of your convenience store. Just be sure to offer prizes that are truly buzzworthy ($100 gas card, 10 free lunches, etc.).

Partner With Nearby Businesses

Partnering with nearby businesses substantially increases the draw that your convenience store has for passers by, and can greatly increase your in-store traffic. For example, you can partner with a major tourist attraction in your town to offer a discount to admission, gaining you a flood of tourist traffic to your store. You could also partner with a local restaurant to level-up the hot food your store offers, as long as you follow required health code requirements.

Convenience Store Products for Fill Up

Offering convenience store products for a fill up (coffee, soda, snack, etc.) is a great way to get people choosing your convenience store/gas station over the competition. This offer also incentivizes greater fuel purchases when people are filling up.

Cash Discount For Gasoline Cash discounts for gas sales are used by many convenience stores with attached gas stations, and is especially effective in areas where cash is more frequently used, such as rural areas with uncertain internet connections for POS systems.

The Future of the Retail Gas Station- Mina Gorgyos

Next time you find yourself on a road trip through Pennsylvania, consider a short detour to the corner of Baum Boulevard and St. Clair Street in downtown Pittsburgh. Admittedly, today there is not much to see – nothing more than a nondescript office building abutted by Walter’s Automotive Repair Shop. But back in 1913 this small parcel of land was the site of arguably the biggest revolution in American retail – the advent of the modern gas station; if you know where to look, there is even a historic marker that commemorates America’s “First Drive-In Filling Station.”

Obsessive Automobile Culture

There were, of course, automobiles on streets around the world before 1913, and they had to get gas somewhere; but the idea of a dedicated retail location where one could just pull in, fill up, get air in the tires, and maybe buy a map, was a true novelty. Unbelievably, prior to the advent of the filling station, drivers would be forced to stop at local pharmacies and other retail locations along major thoroughfares and local roads that began hawking gas as something of a side hustle.

The real question now is how other retailers – big box stores, shopping malls, outlets – will use charging stations as a hook for luring in EV drivers. That’s where all the action will be in the near term.

Since the early 1900s the filling station evolved and went through many iterations and transformations and, in doing so, established itself as a hallmark of a global popular culture infatuated with the automobile. As the model for selling gasoline to an increasingly mobile population evolved, so did the filling station. Later known as a “service station” – today the retail category is perhaps best known for what it sells aside from gas in its ubiquitous convenience store appendages. But for the convenience store model to work, selling gas has always been seen as the bait necessary to reel in the customer. It begs the question: will local EV charging port centers have the same ability to hook customers just as gas has for over a century? And how soon before major changes to the traditional gas and convenience store model begin to take shape?

Like most things in life, the answer largely depends on whom you talk to.

EV Paradigm Shift

Even though in the United States there are just 1.3 million battery-powered electric vehicles on American roads – less than one percent of all vehicles – a clear trend towards EVs is on the horizon. The Biden administration has a goal to make half of all new vehicles sold by 2030 zero-emission. Washington State and California have announced plans to eliminate sales of new gas-powered cars by 2030 and 2035, respectively. Major manufacturers such as Volvo have already announced plans to stop producing gas and diesel vehicles within the next decade. GM has said its last gas-guzzlers will roll off of assembly lines in 2035.

With these developments underfoot, the message for gas retailers is clear: adapt or become obsolete. Boston Consulting Group would tend to agree, surmising that as many as 80 percent of America’s 150,000 or so retail gas stations could be unprofitable by 2035 – unless they get to work reimagining their business models in a big way. So conventional thinking seems to suggest that even though gas retailers’ date with Armageddon may still be a few years off, now is the time for the gas station industry to begin thinking about how it will adapt to an new era dominated by vehicles that, well, don’t need gas.

The Gas Station Reimagined

Christoph Erni, the founder and CEO of Juice Technology, a Swiss producer of electric charging stations and a market leader in mobile charging stations for electric vehicles, believes that the local neighborhood gas station will become a destination and redesigned and enlarged to become cafés or small stores with services so that e-car drivers can use the charging time on-site for personal breaks. “The bulk of EV charging will take place at home or at work, where people park their vehicles for the longest periods,” said Erni. “Gas stations on highways and traffic hubs will continue to operate and be converted into charging parks,” he adds.

According to David Yu, a Professor of Finance at New York University Shanghai and the Stern School of Business, the major opportunity for retailers currently offering charging stations is to monetize the captive audience by offering an array of services that go beyond the traditional convenience store model given that the charge time for EV vehicles is still quite a bit longer than the time needed to fill up a traditional gas vehicle. “With this longer recharge period, more services should be offered to capture the period that consumers must wait for the recharge. I would think there would be more creative options such as short entertainment or leisure activities that would fill in the duration,” said Yu.

Here’s a question: Why did Berkshire Hathaway pay $2.76 billion for its 38.6 percent stake in Pilot Travel Centers, the owner of the Pilot Flying J truck stop chain? This is a move to anticipate the future, not catch up to it. Think differently to time a service to various charging times at ex-urban charging centers: mani/pedi salon, quick massage therapy, video game center, mini-casino gaming room; arts and crafts workshop for the kids. Mall parking lots will become charging centers at scale. Sound outlandish?  Not at all. It’s an opportunity waiting for the taking. And in a nod to pre-automotive days, hitch your car to the local parking meter that also charges your car. Urban master planners, get working.

Today building new retail services around a captive customer base is only in the planning stages as a short-term opportunity as EV technology is still in its relevant infancy. Both Yu and Erni believe that in coming years, the range of vehicles will increase, thanks to larger battery capacity, and charging speeds will also become faster.

Planning Ahead

So how long will major gas retailers have before they start reconfiguring their operating models?

Some may be heartened by legendary Silicon Valley technology investor Ben Narasin’s take: “We are still a good 20 years away from a tipping point where EVs outnumber gas-powered cars,” postulates Narasin. “Remember that the average age of a car on the road today is 14 years old. It may not seem that way if you tend to drive through more affluent neighborhoods, but a good chunk of Americans drive cars that are 15 to 20 years old, so I think gas retailers have plenty of time to figure out a new business model. The real question now is how other retailers – I am talking Big Box stores, shopping malls, outlets – will use charging stations as a hook for luring in EV drivers. That’s where I think all the action will be in the near term.”

Either way, the terrain is quickly changing for gas retailers, and it will be interesting to see how quickly the sector responds to the EV revolution underfoot and uses it as an opportunity to better serve customers.

Types of Pumps Used in Oil and Gas Downstream Operations - Mina Gorgyos

Pumps are necessary components inside an oil drilling rig. They’re designed to accelerate the transference of fluid from one location to another. Without pumps, refineries cannot operate, as oil displacement is essential to an oil rig’s entire operation. Below, we explore different types of pumps companies use in oil and gas downstream operations, their primary function, and the pros and cons of each model.

Centrifugal Pump

The most common type of slurry pump found in the oil and gas industry is undoubtedly the centrifugal pump. Centrifugal pumps contain one or more impellers that move fluid by rotation and draw fluid into the suction end of the pump and then, through centrifugal force, force it out of the discharge end. This design allows the pumps to be used for a wide range of applications and are preferred for processes that handle low viscosity liquids and high flow rates. Centrifugal pumps can also handle dirty liquids or liquids with low viscosity as long as they do not contain air, vapors, or a heavy amount of solids.

Centrifugal pumps are used in the upstream oil and gas industry as part of the tri-phase or multiphase pumping applications. These pumps serve a wide variety of applications with many types such as electric submersible pumps, which are used as a water and oil separator in which water can be re-injected into a reservoir without lifting it to the ground surface. They can transport a significant amount of low viscosity liquids in a short period and can pump several hundred gallons of liquid per minute if the product is compatible.

Oil Pump

A standard oil pump mechanically lifts liquid out of an oil well when there isn’t enough ground pressure to force the oil onto the surface. Oil pumps are used in onshore areas where oil is abundant, but the ground needs help releasing it. These pumps can deliver one to ten gallons of fuel with every stroke depending on the depth and the weight of the oil. Deeper extractions require more massive pumps to move the oil through a vertical discharge column (discharge head). A motor that drives the vertical motion to drive the pump shaft powers the pumps. The industry term for this movement is known as a ‘walking beam.’

Positive Displacement Pump

In contrast to centrifugal pumps, a positive displacement pump does not use impellers to move the fluid. Instead, they utilize rotating or reciprocating parts to push transport the liquid into an enclosed volume. This design creates pressure, which drives the liquid to its destination. A positive displacement pump is ideal for higher viscosity liquids that are transported at a lower flow rate but a higher pressure. An example of a positive displacement pump is a chemical injection pump.

Positive Displacement Pumps are utilized in the upstream phase of an oil refinery. They are a more compact unit, which increases the high-pressure ratio, making them among the most efficient types of pumps, as well as a low-cost solution. Despite their affordability and efficiency, positive placement pumps do require extensive maintenance, partly due to mechanical part failures. They’re also noisier than a centrifugal compressor, which could raise issues in certain applications. Positive displacement pumps are not typically used in situations that demand high flow rates.

Oil Transfer Pump

An oil transfer pump is used to transfer glycol from a well to a holding tank during the midstream and downstream phases of oil refinement. Due to the high volume of activity that an oil pump engages in, they require extensive maintenance and repairs to continue working correctly. Transfer pumps create a variation in pressure that pushes fluid from one location to another. Industrial-scale slurry pumps can operate on electric, solar, hydraulic, or gas power. Oil companies use transfer pumps to move flammable or corrosive liquids like oil, gas, or chemicals. These types of pumps are safe to use for these applications because the components are manufactured with corrosion-resistant metals that hold up well in hazardous environmental conditions.

Diaphragm Pump

A diaphragm pump is a type of positive displacement pump that uses both a valve and a diaphragm to draw oil and gas into a refinery chamber during the upstream and midstream phase of oil refinement. When the volume of a chamber increases, the pressure in the chamber reduces, and the fluid pours into the chamber. The diaphragm then moves down and forces the liquid out. Once the fluid has cleared the chamber, the diaphragm moves back into position, allowing more fluid to enter. This cycle continues while the pump is operating.

Due to their unique design, diaphragm pumps can transport large volumes of liquid and are ideal for refineries that are located over sizable oil sources. Diaphragm pumps are also far more wear-resistant than positive displacement pumps because they have fewer moving parts or friction points that wear down the components. However, diaphragm pumps do suffer from ‘winks’ – small gaps in the process that can slow down the flow of fluid. Winks and low pressure are likely to occur over long distances.

Petrochemical Pump

Petroleum products move from the upstream sector into the midstream sector of the petrochemical industry. The midstream sector transports and stores natural gas and crude oils. This is where the petrochemical pump comes in. Companies use these types of pumps to process or refine chemicals during crude oil drilling and refining. Petrochemical pumps can be piston pumps, diaphragm pumps, mag drive pumps, or another type of process pump or chemical pump.

Petrochemical pumps can operate at high rates of flow and pressure within a refinery system. One of the benefits of petrochemical pumps is that they prevent leaks; thus, they prevent hazardous environmental conditions. The simplistic design of the petrochemical pump, ease of use, and compactness give it the durability it needs to keep up with the demands of oil drilling. On the downside, petrochemical pumps can succumb to overheating, cavitations, and internal corrosion. Viscous, toxic, and corrosive fluids can also wear down the impellers over time.

Summary

Whether used during the upstream, midstream, or downstream phase, pumps give gas, oil, and other fluids enough energy to flow from one location to another. Centrifugal, oil, positive displacement, oil transfer, diaphragm, and petrochemical pumps are essential in delivering oil from the ground to a tanker, then to a refinery, and then on to storage. They are also useful for methanol injection, glycol pumping, chemical processing, gas sweetening, and water disposal. Pumps offer an efficient solution for transporting chemicals. Each type of pump explained above is integrated into a refining system for a specific purpose and are crucial in transporting or purifying different fluids.

Advertise at the Pump

People filling up at the pump have a minute or two to kill, so don’t miss this opportunity to get them into your convenience store with ads at the pump. To target the best products to advertise, look for the most common purchases people make with a fill up.

Advertise to Your Target Customers

Your target customers represent the greatest spending power in your area, and targeting your advertising to the needs and wants of this demographic can greatly boost sales and loyalty. For example, if your target customers are tourists on the way to a nearby attraction, creating signage, cutouts or promotions that reference this attraction can get you more tourist attention on your station.

Paid Search Advertising

Paid search advertising on Google and other search engines is a great way to drive traffic to your convenience store from people searching for stores in your area. By being the top search result for “Convenience store near me” or “Gas station near me” in your area, you can greatly increase your in-store traffic, especially for people not familiar with your area.

Social Media Marketing

Creating a social media profile for your convenience store is a great way to increase your online presence and gives your regular customers a place to tell the world about your great service. By promoting contests and special offers on your social media profiles, you can ensure social subscribers see value in their daily lives, thereby increasing their engagement with your social profiles and the effectiveness of this advertising strategy.

7 Important Tips for Implementing Gas Station Lighting Project- Mina Gorgyos

Gas station is a retail enterprise in the petroleum product sales industry. It is the basic-level network and service window that serves all trades and professions directly, also be the auxiliary facility of traffic planning. The most basic task of a gas station is to provide refueling services for all kinds of motor vehicles. In addition, it is also possible that gas station will develop related supporting facilities such as retail stores, small parking lots (area), car wash centers and so on, to meet the actual needs of consumers and traffic flow capacity.

when coming to the lighting project of the gas station, sometimes it refers to not only the canopy lighting of the refueling area, but also the lighting of the auxiliary supporting areas. So It is necessary to distinguish the lighting in each functional planning area of the gas station and select appropriate luminaires for gas station.

1)The lighting solution for the driveway for car in and out

Not every gas station has an in-out auxiliary lane.If any, its length varies. Some of the auxiliary lanes are short and some are long, depending on the location and design of the gas station. The lighting of the gas station auxiliary driveway is part of the lighting of a gas station.The lighting of this area must take into account the safety of vehicles entering and leaving the area.

In addition to reducing glare to slow down discomfort to the driver's eyes, the street lighting of auxiliary lane should also consider smarter control methods to reduce energy waste. After all, gas stations don't have continuous traffic flow, and it's a waste to keep the lights on when no cars are coming in or going out. a low glare led street light with plug&play motion sensor is an available solution.

2)The lighting solution for reserved parking lot

If the supporting facilities of the gas station are relatively complete, a small parking lot is essential. Such a parking lot can alleviate the problem of excessive traffic flow for refueling and reserve enough time for people to shop, rest and go to the bathroom.

The lighting of this small parking lot is not very different from that of the general outdoor parking lot, so the lighting works in this area can be implemented according to the lighting design standards of the general outdoor parking lot.

3)The lighting solution for refueling area

Refueling area refers to the place where the canopy is built.canopy is also the characteristic building of many gas stations, generally constructed with metal frame. This canopy can protect operators and refueling equipment from prolonged exposure to rain and sun. Many lighting manufacturers say that gas station lighting is the lighting of this place, but it is not.

4)The lighting solution for retail store(business hall) in gas station

The simplest gas stations have at least a refueling area and a business hall. In order to meet the needs of driver and retinue for some emergency supplies, business halls are often integrated with retail stores. In the retail store, a suitable lighting in a retail store can often enable consumers to quickly find the goods they need,then complete the shopping.

5) The lighting solution for indoor car wash center in gas station

If allowed, it is a good idea to set up a car wash center at the gas station. Because the refueling service can bring unexpected passenger flow to the car wash center. car wash center often uses high-pressure cleaning. Furthermore, a car wash service is a service that use a mass of water, leading to a wet environment here . Lamps with high IP rating and high resistance of pressurized water are suitable for the car wash center.

6) The lighting solution for billboard in gas station

As a matter of fact, the gas station is also a geographical location especially suitable for advertising. First of all, this place has an advantage of location. Secondly, its target audience is also relatively concentrated and all of them are high-end consumers with strong consumption ability. last but the most important thing is that advertising here is more permeable than in other places.

In addition to the content of billboard needs to be carefully selected,the billboard lighting is also very important. Because the right billboard lighting can make the advertising stand out and attract people's attention.

7) The lighting solution for greening district(area) in gas station

Oil itself is volatile, which more or less contributes to a certain degree of air pollution near the gas station. To solve the problem of air pollution in gas stations,greening is a feasible method. It can beautify the environment and solve the problem of air pollution to a large extent. The lighting in the green area can not only make the whole gas station more stereoscopic at night, but also give driver and retinue a sense of security.
