The Opportunity
Bolster an Iconic Brand
From lighting to logos and everything visual in between, the Gulf brand is synonymous with service station quality.
As part of their ongoing efforts to bolster their iconic image, Gulf wanted to protect their reputation by properly displaying their brand in compliance with their corporate identity standards
– ensuring that they always convey a professional image that accurately reflects the quality of their people, products and services.
The goal of the program was customer focused – to ensure that a trip to a Gulf station is always a very positive experience and never an inconvenience.
Reduce Energy Consumption, Lower Costs
Gulf was also looking for ways to reduce their energy consumption and associated costs. They were interested in the latest LED technology, particularly as it related to canopy lighting solutions.
Enhance the Customer Experience
In addition to reducing costs, Gulf wanted to use outdoor lighting to create a safer, more engaging environment for customers. They needed a solution that would help the company attract more business, produce a welcoming experience for visitors and showcase a wide spectrum of product options.
The Solution
LSI’s Vertex™ Canopy Fixtures
LSI’s Vertex™ is the most feature-rich canopy fixture on the market. With both symmetric and symmetric-combination forward-throw capabilities, the Vertex™ eliminates the need to install additional flood lights between the canopy and the c-store. The Vertex™ is available in five lumen packages and features shatterproof, non-yellowing, high-performance silicone optics and dimmable controls. This solution can also be configured with optional Integral Bluetooth Motion and Photocell Sensors.
LSI’s Archer Down Liter System
LSI’s Archer system is a highly efficient and dramatic means of canopy illumination. It is designed for seamless, continuous row mounting on a canopy fascia. This solution adds vibrant LED color to new canopy installations, as well as existing canopy structures.
Canopy and Dispenser Graphics
LSI created and implemented an entire graphics solution for Gulf which included dimensional canopy graphics, as well as custom gasoline dispenser graphics and valences. The graphics were brand-compliant – accurately reflecting the company’s professional image and their reputation for quality people, products and services.
Key Benefits of Graphics:
- Attract new customers
