Koupon Media Brings Mobile Convenience Store Coupons to GasBuddy’s 60 Million Users
DALLAS and BOSTON (PRWEB) October 19, 2016 -- Koupon Media, the leading mobile offer platform and retail network in the industry, and GasBuddy, the technology company changing the way consumers find, purchase and save money on gasoline, today announced a partnership to deliver targeted, personalized mobile coupons to GasBuddy’s community. In addition to finding the best deals on fuel, consumers will now have access to discounts and offers from their favorite brands and retailers right in the GasBuddy app, powered by Koupon Media.
“Encouraging customers to walk from the pump into the convenience store presents an immense opportunity which is why partnering with GasBuddy was such an obvious choice,” said Bill Ogle, CEO of Koupon. “Marrying fuel discounts and offers with location targeting provides the ultimate platform for brands and retailers to drive sales while helping customers save money. We are excited to partner with GasBuddy and extend the life of customer savings from the pump to the convenience store.”
GasBuddy will integrate Koupon’s mobile platform directly into its app via a new “coupon” section where consumers can search for additional discounts and deals at nearby convenience store locations based on where they fill up their gas tanks. Brands and retailers participating in the Koupon Offer Network or using the Koupon Platform can select to have their offers displayed within the app and target consumers who are already on the path to purchase.
“Gas stations have been increasing their offering and are becoming more of a destination for items other than gas. The convenience store foodservice is a $61 billion industry, making it the second largest retail host foodservice category behind supermarkets,” said Walt Doyle, CEO of GasBuddy. “We found that GasBuddy users convert at a 6 percent higher rate from canopy to store than the industry average. We’re dedicated to continue working with retailers and partners like Koupon Media to increase that number and turn pump traffic into more store traffic.”
According to the 2015 Retail Fuels Report from NACS, just 35 percent of consumers go in-store after purchasing gas at the same location, making this partnership a huge opportunity for both convenience stores and brand marketers.
