About GNC

Since 1935, GNC has been a trusted authority in health and wellness. Today, with over a thousand corporate locations and hundreds of franchise locations worldwide, they’re modernizing retail through digital innovation.

Industry: Health and wellness

Company size: 2000+ stores 

Number of employees: 10,000+ 

In this case study, you will learn:

  1. How GNC empowered in-store coaches to build lasting customer relationships and why shifting ownership of customer outreach to frontline associates was the key to turning one-time buyers into loyal, repeat customers.

  2. How AI-powered messaging helps lean retail teams communicate at scale, including how GNC’s coaches used Salesfloor’s AI Messaging Assistant to send personalized, consistent follow-ups without adding to their workload.

  3. How an omnichannel clienteling platform bridges in-store and online retail, by connecting GNC’s point-of-sale system and CRM into a single view, so every coach could deliver tailored service regardless of which team member last spoke with a customer.

  4. The measurable business impact of one-to-one clienteling over mass email: including a 3X increase in year-over-year sales, a 2.2X improvement in online conversion rates, and a 12% lift in average order value.
