Your Customers Won’t Have to Wonder Where to Refill a Propane Tank
“Where do I go to swap out my propane tank?” It’s a question many of us have had at some time or another. This is particularly true if you have just purchased your first grill. In this day and age, people turn to online shopping to make their lives just a little bit easier. It only makes sense that they would prepare to do a bit of grilling by hopping online and looking for the best deal on a brand new grill.
After a few days of waiting, their purchase shows up on their doorstep and they tackle the task of putting everything together. When it’s complete, they inevitably wonder where they can go to buy a propane tank. After all, if you’ve never had a grill before, you have to purchase it somewhere!
In many of these instances, location is a factor in deciding where to buy a propane tank. For example, if you are the owner of a gas station that’s just down the street from the new grill owner’s house, you are a likely candidate for their purchase. Maybe you own a hardware store in a popular spot in your town. If that’s the case, offering your customers the ability to buy a propane tank from you while they are shopping is convenient for them.
Keep Them Coming Back
We’ve already established that you own a store that would be a prime candidate for a propane tank exchange location, but there’s more to it than that, of course. Because propane doesn’t last forever and your potential customers are going to be grilling up a storm all year long, they’re going to have to come back and see you from time to time. That’s a good thing.
Having repeat customers is one of the best things you can do for your business. Essentially, if you offer your customers fresh propane tanks, you are guaranteeing that they will come back to see you time and time again. If they’re gearing up for a big outdoor barbecue party, your store will likely be on their checklist of destinations to visit. When it’s time for a back to school bash, they will want to make sure they have plenty of propane to get the job done.
All of this means that a quick trip in for some propane could help your business to grow. Let’s use the hardware store again for an example. Your customer comes in to swap out a spent propane tank for a fresh one and finds a sign in your window advertising a special on cordless drills. Fortunately this person is a new homeowner who now realizes that he or she needs a cordless drill to hang all of the art in their new home.
Or maybe you own a gas station. The average Joe who walks in needing a new propane tank might also be inclined to take advantage of the buy one, get one free sale you have on his favorite candy bar. Once he is in your store, he might also decide he needs a cold fountain drink while he’s out running errands. Now that he thinks about it, he might as well fill up his tank with gas and kill several birds with one stone. It’s a win/win/win situation for you.
Loyal Customers Keep Business Booming
The more often your customer visits your store, the more likely he or she is to become loyal to your location. Think about instances of this in your own life. You have been going to a particular movie theater for years and it feels comfortable to you, so even though your town just built a new theater that’s closer to your house, you’ll continue to go to the one where you feel at home.
Something similar is true for those who want to sell propane tanks. Your customers will no doubt start to enjoy seeing your face whenever they pop into your store to refill their propane tanks. An average griller will likely pop in a couple of times over the course of the summer, but those who opt to grill out on a daily basis will be in even more often.
After so many successful experiences with Mighty Flame propane, that customer won’t want to settle for a different brand. Of course this is good for us, but it’s great for you as well! Having a customer who keeps on coming back because he or she doesn’t want to use anything other than the product you offer means you’ll be seeing quite a lot of them. At the end of the day, that’s exactly what you want, isn’t it? Gaining a loyal base of customers is one of the best ways to ensure that you succeed at your business.
In short, having loyal customers means being able to more easily predict what type of sales you can expect to bring in on a regular basis. The customers who keep on coming back are the lifeblood of any business that hopes to make a lasting impression on the community and continue to draw in new people. Speaking of which…
Your Customers Tell a Friend
When you have a good experience, it’s only natural to want to tell someone about it. Perhaps you got great customer service at the new restaurant in town. You’re probably going to tell your friends that you had an awesome waiter and that the food was incredible. Or maybe you tried a new dentist and found that her office was friendly and she explained everything in a way that kept you calm and relaxed even though you strongly dislike having your teeth looked at.
Now imagine that someone pops into your store needing to buy a propane tank because they are a new homeowner. Chances are that they have friends in a similar age group who will also being buying homes–or at the very least, deciding that they need to buy a new grill because they had so much fun at their buddy’s cookout.
When the friend of the party thrower comments on the grill and asks where they got it, the conversation begins. Eventually it will turn to someone saying that they grabbed a propane tank at the store down the street–which just so happens to be your store! That, dear business owner, is a good thing for you.

In a study that was recently done, results showed that almost nine out of ten families in the United States own a grill. Two thirds of those grills are fueled by propane. That’s a lot of potential business to your store if you choose to sell propane.
