MAPCO SELECTS GSP TO IMPLEMENT DIGITAL SIGNAGE PROGRAM

Clearwater, Fla., Oct. 28, 2022 – GSP has been selected by MAPCO stores to provide digital signage and manage digital sign content for MAPCO’s new-to-industry stores. GSP has installed and is managing digital signage in new MAPCO locations in Alabama and Tennessee this Fall and will impact more stores in the near future.

MAPCO’s digital signage requirements included hardware, software to run the hardware over a network, content management, and content production. MAPCO’s in-store requirements included incorporation into the retail environment, and inclusion in the chain’s retail marketing and execution workflows.

“GSP not only delivered a new sign type to our stores, they engineered a solution for us that allows growth in our evolving initiatives,” said Jacquelynn Henderson, Director of Marketing at MAPCO.

Dual-facing digital displays serve customers in-store and in the forecourt, with messaging designed to drive sales and fill baskets. Each unit uses state-of-the-art system on a chip, which allows marketing content to be controlled from MAPCO’s central marketing office. This allows store workers to focus on in-person customer service. It also improves in-store safety for employees by reducing ladder use for changing high-mounted POP. Content for marketing messages can be fed into the system from a variety of sources, including the production process for printed POP.

MAPCO is known for its cutting-edge store designs, décor, and an engaging customer rewards program. GSP is known for its cloud-based retail intelligence platform, AccuStore, which supports the full retail marketing process, including digital content management. AccuStore is used to build and maintain store profiles and determine accurate distributions for in-store marketing campaigns.

“We are very excited to impact these stores with our Digital Signage solution,” said GSP Chief Technology Officer Craig Hoss. “MAPCO is a growing retailer and implementing a scalable solution for their business model required extensive collaboration and cooperation to achieve the desired result.”

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.

GSP provides branding and marketing services with a focus on site-specific execution to help transform our customers’ growth strategies into store-level success. We design retail environments to engage shoppers and provide superior customer experiences. AccuStore powers our retail marketing, execution and digital display technologies and ensures stores get only what they need. GSP is a forward-thinking company that’s here to serve retailers now, with a focus on their future.
