How Shopping Trolleys and Basket Qualities Affect a Supermarket’s Overall Impression

June 27, 2018

Because the supermarket industry is very competitive, making a positive impression on shoppers is paramount to a store’s overall impression. Other than the overall appearance of the physical structure and the surrounding premises, it is the quality of the shopping trolleys and baskets that affect customers’ impression about a supermarket the most.

For this reason, supermarkets upgrade their shopping trolleys and baskets whenever possible, to offer qualities that will influence their customers’ shopping experience in a positive way. Supermarkets also dedicate much time and effort in not only maintaining the condition of their shopping trolley fleets, but also the condition of their shopping baskets too.
