NACS Insight Global Convenience Store Focus feedback page
In October 2008 Insight and NACS published the first edition of Global Convenience Store Focus edited by experienced UK trade journalist Fiona Briggs. The new JV was published to a newly combined global database of senior convenience and petroleum retail contacts in 97 countries.
We now have the first four editions under our belt and we're getting a terrific response. Roughly 500 people a month each read 2-3 stories in the first three editions we did last year. That's 6% of the approximately 8,000 global convenience contacts we initially sent it to. This should continue to grow well as we've recently expanded the global convenience database to over 17,000 contacts.
We've also had some great personal feedback from international retailers and suppliers:
I have reviewed the website and first let me say "Thank you" - as a global buyer this website is very useful… I think it's a brilliant site - let me know how one can subscribe.

I thought the new newsletter was excellent. I will be finding time to catch up on International Convenience every month.

Great to hear from you. Thanks for the update. On the monthly newsletter, I personally would find it helpful if it reached outside the specific scope of convenience stores.

The newsletter looks great. Well designed for navigation.
