Retail Store Shopping Baskets and Shopping Carts
Improving your in-store experience is a surefire way to keep your customers happy and interested in spending more time shopping and purchasing.

Both offer customers a convenient way to carry merchandise throughout your store and to check-out. They also give your shoppers the ability to select more merchandise as they move through your store aisles. In retail, shopping baskets and shopping carts have been proven to help increase impulse sales. In fact, a customer with a shopping cart will buy an average of 7.2 items compared with only 6.1 items purchased by a customer without a shopping cart. For bulk products, those sales can be double what a customer would normally purchase without a shopping cart (Source: America’s Research Group).
Shopping Baskets
Shopping Baskets are typically made of plastic or metal and range in size and capacity. They are durable, break-resistant and don’t take up a lot of store space. Plastic shopping baskets and metal shopping baskets are stackable. A simple metal stand which usually comes with a sign topper is used to keep these shopping baskets organized and secure when not in use.

When purchasing shopping carts, choose the right size shopping cart to suit the size and aisle widths of store in addition to the type of merchandise you sell. If you offer bulkier items consider a larger or wider shopping cart. At www.discountshelving.com we offer a small shopping cart, medium shopping cart and a large shopping cart options. If you have narrow store aisles consider a mini shopping cart style. The mini shopping cart is more compact, and narrower than the traditional grocery shopping cart. It is also lighter weight, making pushing this mini shopping cart around your store easier, especially for elderly shoppers. They’re a great option for smaller grocery stores and retailers that carry smaller merchandise such as dollar stores, pharmacies and beauty supply stores.
