Why Holidays and Special Sale Periods Require Additional Shopping Trolleys

September 3, 2019

Holidays and special sale periods are often hectic times for supermarkets and large retail stores, as there are typically an influx of shoppers during this time. While during holidays and special sale periods, supermarkets and retail businesses have an opportunity to earn more profits, the problem these face is that the increased amount of shoppers often exceeds the amount of shopping trolleys on hand.

Because stores invest so much time and money into preparing for holidays and special sale periods, by ensuring that storage spaces and shelves are fully stocked with products, it is advised that supermarkets and retail stores hire extra shopping trolleys to accommodate the expected influx of shoppers.

By hiring extra shopping trolleys, businesses are assured to earn more profits during these times than any other day of the year by making sure that there are enough shopping trolleys for all customers to use. Below are some other good reasons why holidays and special sale periods require additional shopping trolleys:

All customers have access to shopping trolleys – because of the increased amount of customers during holidays, special sales periods, and store openings, it is not uncommon for businesses to not have enough shopping trolleys available for all customers to use. When there is a lack of shopping trolleys, customers may decide to leave the store or continue shopping by hand, which greatly limits their ability to purchase more products. Either way, customers will have a negative shopping experience.

Extra shopping trolleys increases sales – by making sure that every customer that needs a shopping trolleys has one, supermarkets and retail stores can increase sales, as shoppers are likely to purchase more when they have a trolley to use.

Creates a positive first impression – because holidays and special sales periods attract many new customers, businesses can create a positive first impression to new customers by hiring extra shopping trolleys to show shoppers how well-prepared the supermarket or retail store is during these times.

Customers are more likely to return – when customers have a positive shopping experience they are more likely to return to your store, which is one of the main goals of any supermarket or retail store – gaining loyal customers. Hiring extra shopping trolleys during holidays and special sales periods is so important because it lowers the risk of customers having a bad shopping experience because there were not enough shopping trolleys for them to use.
