Introduction:
Gas stations are high-traffic retail hubs, with thousands of customers stopping daily to fuel up, buy snacks, or use in-store services. The challenge: capturing attention in those crucial few minutes when customers are at the pump. Sidewalk advertising offers a powerful, eco-friendly solution.
Why Gas Stations Are Perfect for Sidewalk Ads:
– Captive Audience: Customers spend 2–5 minutes fueling up, often looking around.
– Prime Locations: Sidewalks between pumps, stores, and car wash lanes provide unavoidable visibility.
– Local Impact: Campaigns can be tailored to specific stores or promotions.
Applications:
– In-store promotions: “2 for $3 Energy Drinks Inside Now”.
– Car wash specials: Direct drivers with arrows to wash bays.
– Loyalty programs: Highlight savings for repeat customers.
– Seasonal deals: Coffee discounts in winter, cold drinks in summer.
Case Study: Lancaster Gas Station
After installing StencilWash ads for a coffee promotion, a Lancaster gas station saw an 18% increase in coffee sales in one month. Customers commented on the novelty and shared pictures online.
Tracking ROI:
– Add QR codes to stencils linking to menus, coupons, or loyalty apps.
– Measure scan data to compare campaigns with traditional promotions.
Conclusion:
For gas stations, sidewalks are underutilized real estate. StencilWash turns pavement into profit while highlighting eco-friendly practices.
