Three Ways to Make the Most Out of Shopping Baskets in Retail Stores

July 5, 2019

Successful retails stores understand that not all customers have the same shopping needs that is why there are plastic shopping baskets available. Plastic shopping baskets in retail stores is one of the key ingredients to running a success store, as it allows shoppers a choice of how they want to carry the items they want to purchase.

Sometimes customers only want to buy a few things and would rather run into the store really fast, grab a few items, and then run out. This makes shopping baskets an ideal choice for shoppers that don’t want to push a shopping trolley around. Not only are plastic shopping baskets convenient, but they also encourage customers to purchase more because it allows them to carry more items than they could otherwise with just their hands.

Getting customers to use shopping baskets is an effective way for retail stores to increase sales. There are three ways to make the most out of shopping baskets in retail stores:

Ample stock – it is important to have more than enough shopping baskets as needed, so that they are always available to shoppers. Having an ample stock of shopping baskets available also allows retail stores to place them at different convenient locations throughout the store.

Strategic placement – if customers can’t see the shopping baskets then they will not use them. Place plastic shopping baskets in clear line of sight of customers is the key, not only at the entrance, but also throughout the store such as at the begging or end of isles, so customers can easily see and grab a basket when they need one. Basket stands on wheels is a great way to stock and present shopping baskets to your customers, and it makes it easy to move baskets around the store.

Choice of coloured shopping baskets – the standard 30 litre capacity plastic shopping baskets comes in assorted colours: red, black, blue, and green. The selection of basic colours helps them stand out, and at the same time match your store’s branding. It is even possible to personalise shopping baskets with your store’s logo on them.
