It's essential to have an EMV and marketing technology plan because of so much innovation in the marketplace today, from loyalty to televisions in the pump to innovative payment technologies. Even if what you decide is that it's not the right time for you to make a decision, that's okay. That's a plan. But at least go into this knowing exactly what EMV calls for, both inside the store and out.

Remember, the October mandate is just around the corner for inside the store. What does that mean to you and what does it mean to your business if you go into this unprepared for what the EMV mandate may bring? There's a real competitive advantage to making your customers happy and to building a site that's exciting, dynamic, modern, and let's say it, that's cool. Everyone wants to sell fuel, but you also want them to come inside the store, whether they're buying a hot dog, beer, cigarettes, whatever that case might be.

Now near-field communication also enables such dynamic payment processes like Apple Pay and Google Wallet, which many folks are saying could be some of the technologies of the future. It gives your customers a reason to come in, to give you the patronage of your site, to buy more merchandise at your location, and to give you a competitive advantage against some of your larger competitors.
