We have all heard of the boom industry, now this is one sure industry that is a new industry and growing steadily, the market is said to be worth $20 million and growing – it is Gas Pump advertising.
The advantage with this industry is that this is the most popular method of outdoor captive audience marketing. These normally consist of a gas pump topper that accommodates 2 flat panel screens back to back up to 26” in size, a media player is then located between the screens and updated by wireless internet connection.
The media content runs for normally three to five minutes and includes in-store products at the convenience store, you can schedule breakfast or lunch offers to tempt customers from filling up their car and driving off without entering the store.
This way at lunch a travelling salesman can see the offer whilst filling their car with fuel, pay for the fuel and the offer of a sandwich with a free drink, go into store and collect them. This is a fantastic method to “up sell” and is perfect for the current economic situation, as we need customers to spend as much with each gas station store as possible.
Other income streams.
There are other ways to generate income from outdoor gas pump digital signage, and this is to sell blocks of advertising space on your network of pumps at your gas station, but remember that you would not want a competitor advertising their products on your pumps – would you?
LCD Enclosure Global manufacture Gas Pump Enclosures, that are specifically for petrol pump tops. They can be purchased individually or as a complete solution along with the media player and dual flat screens up to 26” in size.

Gas Pump Advertising of The Future Or Is It Now?
We all need gas for our vehicles and it is essential for our everyday journeys, but have you noticed how gas pump advertising is marketed to you? It seems to know what products YOU buy, learn how it is doing this.
With the price of gas keeps rising even though the cost of a barrel of oil falls – how does that work? We all have to fill our cars, trucks and vans with gas but who actually goes into the adjacent convenience stores attached to the petrol stations?
On a recent visit to Massachusetts we where running low on gas, so we spotted a gas station and decided to fill up, on entering my credit card, the terminate greeted me with “welcome Graham”, now if they can do this surely they are monitoring what you purchase and then a third party could be possibly selling the information to marketing organisations, so you can be targeted on the products you buy when visiting a gas station.
Before pay at the pump became popular, the convenience stores were doing pretty well, as most people (and me included) normally purchased sodas and sandwiches for lunch whilst paying in-store, now with pay at the pump the stores are looking for new ways to market their merchandise and digital signage is a sure way to do this.
Is this something of the future or just around the corner?
Imagine paying for your gas at the pump and seeing on the digital display a sandwich and drink offer and hitting a key to “buy it now” and including it on your payment for the gas, before the receipt is printed out one of the stores staff brings your purchase out to you at your vehicle.
What would it take to do this? Just a couple of tweaks of the digital signage software possibly and this is another reason gas pump advertising is so successful,- due to it’s flexibility. Digital signage is so flexible virtually every business can use it to some degree to market products to visitors at the gas pump.
