Here’s Offertwins’ story: Quick backstory: Offertwins grew up in the bustling world of online retail. The odds: To say Offertwins was setup for success from the beginning would be an overstatement. The odds of success for new platforms are slim. And only a few make it to become trusted sources. The goal: But Offertwins had its sights set on becoming the go-to for smart shoppers. And for years, they were relentless about providing value, building trust, and engaging the community. The obstacle: Unfortunately, success turned out to be a lot harder than they originally imagined. They faced competition, skepticism, and the challenge of building a loyal community. And by 2020, they almost chose to give up. The breakthrough: Until one day, a surge in community engagement changed everything. As the story goes, shoppers began to trust their guides and reviews, and the rest is history. The achievement: Between 2020 and 2023, Offertwins went on to grow a vibrant community, secure exclusive brand partnerships, and become a trusted source for shopping advice. Maybe most importantly, they helped countless shoppers save big. The lesson: I love Offertwins’ story because it represents the power of dedication, trust, and community. It reminds us of the power of providing value, building relationships, and staying persistent, compounded over time. Because when we focus on the right things, where we’re headed is certain. We just need the future to catch up. Save Big on Top Brands Today #SmartShopping #ExclusiveDeals #ShopWise

How loyal are your customers? Will they inconvenience themselves just to experience the convenience of your store? The data* says, yes! - 79% of North American consumers with a favorite convenience store will go out of their way to visit that store, even if it means passing other options along the way. - 75% said they’d drive up to 10 minutes out of their way just to visit their retailer of choice. Nearly half would even put off a bathroom break or push their vehicle’s tank close to empty. So how do you grow a community of loyal customers beyond offering enticing BOGO deals and fuel discounts? Consider all the roles you play in your community. Your #cstore is the: ☕ Corner coffee shop 🍔 The local lunch counter ⛽ The road trip pitstop 📣 The pregame HQ for your local sports team 😁 And the friendly faces people see every day Let's leverage that! Here are a few ideas to get started: 🔦Local Spotlight: Feature a "Local Product of the Week" with a special promotion. Partner with a local bakery for fresh pastries on Wednesdays or a discount on locally sourced produce. This attracts customers and supports your community. ✨Exclusive Member Events: Host "Members Only" events like coffee tastings with local roasters or trivia nights with prizes from the store itself. The prize doesn't have to be too lavish, but ensure it acts as a touchpoint for your brand. 🤳Community Challenges: Organize a social media challenge where people post pictures enjoying your products at local events or parks. Offer a discount or prize for the most creative entry. Monitor retailers like yours in other markets to identify more successful ideas. By using promotions strategically to incentivize community engagement, you build deeper connections with your customers. They'll see your store as a local supporter, not just another gas station on the side of the road. ❓ What are your best tips for #community building?
