In today's mobile-driven world, convenience store and fuel apps have the potential to offer personalized, engaging experiences that drive increased foot traffic, app engagement, and digital revenue. A key tool to unlock these experiences is geofencing technology. Here are five impactful geofencing use cases for convenience store and fuel apps, and how Radar, as a comprehensive location platform, can facilitate these solutions.

1. Fuel pump readiness and mobile payments

One of the ways geofencing can streamline the customer experience is by reminding a customer to use mobile payments or rewards features as they pull into the station. A geofence set up around your fuel stations can detect when a customer enters the vicinity. The app can then prompt the customer to select their pump number and pay for their fuel directly from their mobile device.

Streamlining the payment process can significantly enhance the customer experience, increasing app engagement and digital revenue.

2. Real-time store inventory updates

As a customer approaches or enters a store, geofencing can trigger real-time updates about the store's inventory, showing customers current availability of products or fresh food items.

This keeps customers informed and encourages in-store purchases, increasing both foot traffic and digital revenue.

3. Personalized promotions

Geofencing can enable highly targeted, personalized promotions. When a customer enters a geofence, the app can display tailored promotions based on their purchase history or preferences.

Personalized promotions can lead to increased in-app engagement and purchases, driving digital revenue growth.

4. In-store mode

When a customer enters a store, geofencing can trigger an "in-store" mode in your app, offering features such as digital coupons, a store map, or a shopping list reminder.

An in-store mode can enhance the shopping experience and increase app engagement and in-store purchases.

5. Curbside pickup

Geofencing can enable efficient curbside pickup experiences. When a customer who has placed an online order approaches the store, staff can be alerted to prepare the order for pickup.

A seamless curbside pickup experience can lead to increased digital revenue and customer satisfaction.
