The Benefits of Hiring Extra Shopping Trolleys During Store Openings

April 3, 2019

During a store opening, it is one of the most nerve-wracking moments for any retail business. It doesn't matter if it is a new shop, a new branch, or a new outlet, if you have marketed the event properly, you can expect crowds to arrive either way.

With people lining up to see the newly opened store, business owners should see their store opening as the perfect opportunity to showcase their full range of products, and to display how much these are selling for. With storage spaces fully stocked with products for the store opening, it is the perfect time to sell!

Like holidays and special event sales, store openings can earn you more profits than any other day because of the influx of shoppers. This is why it is recommended to hire extra shopping trolleys for store openings, to make sure there is enough for all shoppers to use.

Here are 5 reasons why store openings should hire extra shopping trolleys:

1. Allows you to cater to everyone.

Because there will be plenty of people expected to check out your store opening, each person is a potential customer that should have access to shopping trolleys. Having enough shopping trolleys available ensures that everyone has equal opportunity to buy as many products as they want.

2. Helps to increase sales.

By giving your customers adequate access to shopping trolleys, you are also increasing your opportunity to increase sales, as customers are more likely to purchase multiple items during store opening events because of promotional discounts.

3. Maximise return of investment.

While retail stores earn differently throughout the year, it is expect during special events such as store openings that stores can experience exceptional sales volume. Because of this, hiring extra shopping trolleys just makes sense to capitalise on the influx of new customers, with the goal of maximising returns on your investment.

4. Creates a positive image of your brand.

Having enough shopping trolleys available, especially during store openings, leaves a good first impression on new customers. It makes customers appreciate the fact that the store opening was well planned ahead.

5. Encourage customers to return.

Hiring extra shopping trolleys will contribute to customers having a positive shopping experience, and will encourage them to return. As a business owner, nothing is more rewarding than gaining loyal customers who will frequent your retail store. That is why it is so important to hire enough shopping trolleys for your customers during your store opening event, it’s a must.
