Fuel stations are transforming in Turkey. The shifts in consumer preferences depending on economic developments bring along the changes in products and services offered by fuel stations. Buying habits and expectations play an active role in the continuous development of services and products, bringing competition to a higher quality level and providing maximum benefit for consumers. Fuel stations are transformed into quality enterprises that can meet all the needs of consumers and can be easily accessed in daily life.
Fuel stations which are shaped according to the sense of quality and diversified services, play an important role in drivers' preferences. In Turkey, fuel stations almost become a “living space” by fullfilling consumer needs alongside the fuel sales. According to a survey, one of the most remarkable subjects the drivers pay attention in a fuel station is “reliability”. Approximately 60 percent of the drivers give importance to reliability when selecting a fuel station, and the gas quality and prices are followed by this criterion.
An important criterion for the consumer is availability of a convenience store within the fuel station
While service speed, free water and oil level checking stand out as more important criteria for women rather than men, availability of a convenience store in the fuel station is reflected as an important criterion for all consumers in the surveys. The age group of 45 and above gives importance to additional services such as car cleaning and car washing, whereas they give less importance to campaigns comparing to younger age groups.
It becomes imperative to keep up with all the developments in order to use this great potential correctly, to achieve customer satisfaction and customer loyalty. Especially if you want to reach the generation “Y” that shapes everything according to the digital world.
In addition to the services they offer, fuel stations are also diversifying non-fuel product sales and the convenience stores within the facility by introducing new products and services to consumers ranging from coffee chains to ready-made consumer products, consumer electronics to automobile maintenance products and from new generation restaurants to electric vehicle charging point.
Today, we witness how the fuel stations improve and evolve, and how they are restructured according to the expectations and demands of the customers. This change seems to never end.
