Basket Stands: Why Every Grocery Store and Supermarkets Must Have Them?

January 31, 2019

While shopping trolleys are an absolute necessity to grocery stores and supermarkets, shopping baskets are just as important but are often over looked. Catering to all type of shoppers is a major concern for grocery stores, supermarkets, and all sizes of retail stores. Successful stores offer both shopping trolleys and shopping baskets for their customers to use.

Shopping baskets are truly a vital ingredient to the success of any store, for a few reasons. Basically, not all customers have the same shopping needs. For example, many customers only shop to buy a few carry items and prefer not to use shopping trolleys.

This is one main reason why having shopping baskets available is so important to grocery stores and supermarkets of all sizes. This is because it encourages customers to grab more than the few items that they had planned to carry in their hands, which often results in more sales.

Importance of Basket Stands for Grocery Store and Supermarkets

Because shopping baskets are often preferred by many shoppers who only plan to purchase a few items and want to avoid the long lines reserved for standard size trolleys, placing baskets stands near the entrance of stores is advised. Every grocery store and supermarket should have basket stands for the convenience of their customers, and to maintain the cleanliness of their establishments.

It is necessary for supermarkets and grocery stores to have baskets stands, as these not only serve as a storage station for unused baskets, but it keeps them well off the ground and away from dirt and germs. Stationary basket stands offers your patrons the baskets they need as they enter your store, and there are also wheeled basket stands available that can serve multi-uses.

Wheeled basket stands can be placed at the end of checkout counters where baskets can be placed as shoppers leave the store. Once full, basket stands can be moved to the entrance of the store and then empty basket stands can be wheeled back to checkout counters. In this way, shopping basket are monitored and controlled efficiently. Basket stands can even accommodate signage that can be used for promotional material.

When supermarkets and grocery stores have well-maintained shopping trolleys and baskets, and new shopping baskets stands positioned at the entrance of their stores, enticing shoppers to conveniently grab a basket upon entering, it makes a positive impression.

You can find standard 30 litre plastic shopping baskets, and 43 litre wheelie baskets, available in an assortment of colours, as well as wheeled shopping basket stands, here at SOS Retail Sales.
