Your own branded mobile apps
"OpenStore® allows us to extend our brand into the Internet and mobile worlds quickly and with a set of tools customers enjoy using."
Scott Hartman, President & CEO Rutter's Farm Stores
Connect with your customers wherever they go with your own branded mobile apps (smartphone applications) for iPhone, Blackberry and Android. Every time they look at their apps, they'll see your logo and you will be top of mind.
With your mobile app, customers will be able to find your locations, submit immediate feedback, and receive exclusive digital coupons. You can even put your loyalty card right on their phone.
Location Finder
Customers are always looking for new ways to make their lives easier, like finding their favorite c-store chain. When customers have to look for your stores, they can easily be sidetracked by the competition. But with the location finder in your app, they will be focused only on you.
Feedback Forms
Problems happen. But with a feedback form with them everywhere on their smartphone, they can submit their feedback moments after an incident occurs. When a problem is solved quickly, it leaves a better impression on the customer than if nothing went wrong in the first place.
Digital Coupons
Your high margin items are in your stores, not at your gas pumps. Bring your customers into your store with exclusive deals straight to their smartphones. When your customers use your digital coupon, the barcode only shows for a selected amount of time and then the digital coupon disappears completely from the app, preventing coupon fraud. OpenStore® digital coupons are professional looking, time efficient and most important, very attractive to your customers.
Loyalty Rewards Integration
Loyalty cards can provide you the edge over your competition, but only if your customers don't misplace them. Increase the use of your loyalty program by putting the loyalty card on their smartphones. Your customers won't have to dig around in their purses or wallets for plastic cards. They won't lose their smartphones as easily as they can a plastic card. Your loyalty card will always be on their phone.
OpenStore® integrates with Centego, Retalix, Kick Back Rewards Systems, Excentus, ValueSys and any proprietary loyalty programs.
Your own store websites
"We wanted a real Hawaii feel to our websites, and they exceeded our expectations. I'd highly recommend OpenStore."
Keith Yoshida, Director of Business Development & Marketing, Mid Pac Petroleum
With OpenStore® , you can have a website for each of your locations. With individual store websites, customers won’t feel like they’re dealing with a large corporation but with their favorite neighborhood store. The gas prices displayed are store specific. When people search on Google for c-stores in your area, you will be top of page.
Don’t offer the same things at every store? Individual store websites are perfect for customizing offers and details.
Individual store websites offer in-store deals, Deal Alert Sign Ups, location finder, menus, customer feedback and more.
In-store Deals
Let your customers know about the great deals happening in your store. In-store deals lead customers from your gas pumps and into your stores to buy higher margin items. You can even post only certain in-store deals to specific store websites.
In-store deals are easy to post and quick to create. You can create in-store deals for all of your stores for months in advance in minutes. The branded coupon template creates attractive yet practical in-store deals graphics in only two steps.
Deal Alert Sign Up
Not everyone has a smartphone, so OpenStore® offers digital coupons by email, SMS, Twitter and Facebook too. Customers simply enter their mobile number or email address and which locations they’d like to receive deals from.
Location Finder
Customers are always looking for new ways to make their lives easier, like finding their favorite c-store chain. When customers have to look for your stores, they can easily be sidetracked by the competition. But with the location finder on your store websites, they’ll be focused only on you. Plus, when they find the location they like, they can click a link to that store’s website. You can also integrate this easy to use store finder into your corporate website.
Menus
With OpenStore® you can post your mouth-watering menus on your store websites. Only offer a menu at certain stores? You can post menus only to stores that offer that menu. Between the menu, in-store deals and digital coupons, it’s easy to lure your customers from the gas pumps and into your stores.
Customer Feedback
Problems happen. But with a feedback form available on every store website, your customers can easily submit the relevant facts to you. When a problem is solved quickly, it leaves a better impression on the customer than if nothing went wrong in the first place.
