  Case Studies
We're sure you will be impressed by our results. Below you will find links to three separate Case Studies. These documents will demonstrate to you how GumTargets will effectively raise awareness, collect large volumes of used gum and also reduce the amount of gum deposits on the street. In addition you will see how Luton reduced their cleansing costs as a result of using GumTarget in the town centre. We also provide you with all the guidance you need and the documentation to carry out your own Case Studies. You will need a password to access this area, if you don't have one already then please click here and we will send you one. You will also need Adobe Acrobat to access the documents; if you don't have it then you can download it here. Alternatively, contact us and we'll send you the documents directly.
