The Budgetary Benefits of Hiring for Trolleys Instead of Buying Them

January 30, 2018

Owners of retail stores and supermarkets are always looking for ways to save money. Whether starting up a new store, or for established and successful supermarkets and grocery stores, one way to save money is to hire trolleys instead of buying new shopping trolleys or second hand trolleys. Although, money can be saved by purchasing quality, second hand shopping trolleys, hiring trolleys has more budgetary benefits.

Budgetary Benefits of Hiring Shopping Trolleys as Needed

Some of the budgetary benefits from hiring for shopping trolleys instead of buying them is that it is much cheaper, and money saved can be used to invest in other areas of a business. Most of the time, when retail stores and groceries consider replacing their old shopping trolley fleet, it is during planned special sales periods and the holidays, when extra trolleys are needed the most.

Having new shopping trolleys for customers to use, ones that are not broken or functioning improperly, is bad for business, as it can have a negative impact on the shopping experience of customers. It is not uncommon that retail stores and supermarkets fall short on the needed amount of shopping trolleys for their customers during special sales, events, and especially during the holiday season.

For this reason alone, hiring trolleys to meet a temporary need, instead of buying new shopping trolleys, whether for a few weeks or months, is one of the biggest budgetary benefits for any sized retail business or grocery store.

Here are some other budgetary benefits of hiring for trolleys instead of buying them:

Meet temporary demands during sales and holidays – hiring the extra trolleys your store needs during peak selling periods saves money, rather than having to purchase new ones. For example, you can lease additional trolleys as you need them, and then return them when you’re done.

Try before you buy – by hiring for trolleys, you can try-out new trolley models before you buy them. And by getting feedback from customers, you can determine what trolley models best works for them and your store.

Trolley maintenance and delivery – when hiring for trolleys, they will be delivered to your store when you need them, maintained, and picked up when you are finished with them. SOS Retail Sales can also maintain and repair your store’s trolleys too.
