GSP to Showcase Traffic-Driving C-Store Solutions at NACS Show

Clearwater, Fla., October 1, 2018 – Retail services provider GSP returns to NACS Show in Las Vegas with new ways for c-stores to create a retail environment that drives traffic, sales and loyalty. Its award-winning marketing and design ideas will be on display at booth #6417.

As Forbes recently reported, “The U.S. convenience store industry is big – as in really big. There are more than 154,000 convenience stores nationwide selling a combination of fuel, food and merchandise to over 165 million customers daily; more than half of the U.S. population visits a convenience store every day.” “The question then becomes, how can you increase foot traffic to your c-store and make it stand out from that crowded playing field?” said GSP’s Kevin Farley, COO. “Come visit our booth at NACS and let us show you how to create a store that customers can’t wait to enter, eat in and revisit every day.”

“We have developed proven strategies to drive traffic from the lot to the store, building brand and demand at each customer touch point,” he explained. “For example, the customer spends an average of two to three minutes to refuel. Strong signage at the pump can create desire by highlighting your in-store offerings. Then, we follow it up with attention-getting graphics and a plan for revenue-driving POP,” he added.

Innovative c-stores are also drawing on their category management expertise to expand foodservice, add in-store seating and experiment with different store formats. This is why GSP offers store remodeling and reimaging of category assets to appeal to the next generation of customers. “We specialize in the updating of legacy stores for less,” said Steven Cohen, VP of Design Services.

“We use technology and expert project management to streamline the workflow and lifecycle of any store remodeling and reimaging service. This makes our offering one of the best values in the industry,” Cohen emphasized.

Retailers can learn more about GSP’s POP, store remodeling and reimaging capabilities by visiting booth #6417 at NACS 2018 in Las Vegas, October 7-10. Additional information is also available by emailing marketing@gspretail.com, or calling 727-532-0647.

Our Brand Story

GSP started as a printing company in1978. We found our niche supplying in-store signage for convenience stores when retailers guessed quantities they needed. This led to overage, waste and expense. To solve this, we developed software to guarantee on-time delivery of “the right size sign, to the right store, every time.”

In 2014, we started AccuStore with a dedicated team. As software helped drive our growth, we realized that new printing and fulfillment sites near customers could drive business and improve sustainability. We acquired companies that fit GSP’s technical excellence and superior customer service models.

First was Great Big Pictures in Madison, WI in 2015. They lead the field in large format printing and visual merchandising for iconic fashion retailers. Their standards for customer service include award-winning sustainability programs, and expertise to bolster retail environments services.

In 2020, GSP acquired Custom Color in Lenexa, KS. The company supplies printed graphics to leading retailers. Custom Color’s stellar quality in fabric printing also aligns with GSP’s values.
