Today’s consumers are constantly on the go and have come to expect a high level of efficiency and convenience in their shopping experiences. For convenience stores, the expectation is right there in the name, putting even more pressure to deliver on this promise.
C-stores face unique challenges compared to other types of retail businesses. For instance, they typically occupy a much smaller physical space, with most stores being less than 5,000 square feet in size. They also have limited storage space, which restricts the quantity and variety of products they can stock.
Digital signage is one way your C-store can creatively and effectively promote products and instill interest with customers. If your convenience store is located at a gas station, digital signage placed in store windows can be used to entice your pump customers to come inside the store.
With digital menu boards and promo boards, you can leverage the power of multimedia content with images, videos, animation, audio and text to engage your customers and help them make quicker buying decisions.
Digital signage for convenience stores
With Hughes MediaSignage you can captivate your customers’ attention with visual content that highlights products, limited-time offers, flash sales and promotions. This enhances customer experience and helps make products more appealing, leading to more sales. Our digital menu board solution is easy-to-use and easy-to-deploy. Creating, managing and scheduling menu board content is done through a simple drag & drop interface. Everything is accessed in the cloud, meaning you don’t need additional software or plugins, and all configuration can be done from a browser or smartphone.
The real value of digital menu boards is the ability to display vivid product imagery and provide updates to your customers in real-time. Changes to content can be scheduled in advance, and customized based on time of day, shift, demographics or season. The solution easily integrates with POS systems and social media platforms so you can promote your brand, products and specials with your social network of followers.
