More than the look of Convenience.org and NACS Daily changed today; we have relaunched the NACS digital experience with you in mind and with a modern infrastructure that ensures a sustainable foundation for the future.
Every improvement was guided by a simple goal: To help you access the information, tools and connections that can help your business grow. Extensive interviews with NACS retailer and supplier members helped shape a faster, more intuitive experience built around the way you engage with NACS every day.
Whether you’re looking for industry-leading research and insights, advocacy resources or career-growth resources and events, the new site is designed to help you get where you need to go with greater speed, simplicity and confidence.
Big-Picture Enhancements
Here are a few of the enhancements to the overall user experience:
- Centralized content: A new Stay Current page serves as a single hub for the latest news, insights, research and thought leadership—making it quicker for you to stay informed. Articles, blog posts, magazine features, podcasts and other content live in one centralized ecosystem.
- Topic-based category pages create all-in-one experiences: New category pages (such as Foodservice) bring together related articles, resources, events and products into a single landing page. This gives you an all-in-one destination to explore a topic and engage more deeply with NACS content.
- Better organization of NACS events, products and offers: Content across NACS has been reorganized and rewritten for each use across platforms, reducing friction and helping you complete tasks faster.
- More flexibility to highlight news of most interest in the NACS Daily newsletter: We’ve revised the template to better serve you by spotlighting the most important information to know every day.
This Is Just the Beginning
While the experience looks different, the value NACS delivers remains the same. We remain committed to advancing convenience and fuel retailing through industry-leading knowledge, meaningful connections and effective advocacy. The expertise, programs, events, research and community you’ve come to expect from NACS are all here.
Launching the new website is an important milestone, but it's not the finish line. We'll continue to listen to members, gather feedback and make improvements over time. As the needs of our industry evolve, convenience.org will continue to evolve with them.
As you explore the new site, let us know what you like and where we can continue to improve by sending us a note to [email protected].
We look forward to helping you make the most of the new experience.
