Les 5 endroits les plus fréquentés par vos paniers d'achat

Many People take grabbing a cart for granted and do not consider all it means to both the retailer and the customer. The sales it enables, the experience it delivers, what it says about the brand. The shopping cart is commonly the most neglected piece of store equipment, yet it is often the longest single point of interaction between the customer and a store’s brand. This relationship is critical in many ways:

• Having an ample supply of clean carts in good repair available when a shopper walks in is key to maximizing sales and driving a positive shopper experience – prioritized by the Covid-19 pandemic.
• Keeping carts on the property minimizes the need for collection services, minimizes lost & stolen carts and, allows a retailer to operate with less carts saving on spend and maintenance repair
• Not seeing a retailer’s carts off property littering neighborhoods, drainage ditches and parks helps promote the brand image of a retailer as a good corporate citizen with a secondary benefit of keeping your carts clean and in better repair.
• Keeping carts onsite, clean and in good repair can eliminate 25%+ of cart cleaning and repair expenses.
• Supply chain issues, manufacturer capacity, and steel costs have impacted the supply and have made replacing costs an expensive proposition.

In the end, it is far less expensive in dollars and as a brand to take care of your cart fleet.

So – where are they? Here are the top 5 places your shopping carts are going:

Abandoned shopping carts have been a hot topic amongst many city and state officials. Aside from the obvious nuisance they become as town fodder, deserted shopping carts are a hazard to drivers when they accumulate near busy roadways and intersections. Shopping carts also can be found abandoned in ditches and other waterways. Quite often, these carts cause civil engineering mayhem by clogging important drainage systems which cause flooding and other serious damage.

One must appreciate the resourcefulness of the contemporary shopping cart caper for this ingenious idea. We laugh because we must not cry – until we realize that not only the shopping cart, but also the menu was compliments of the local supermarket. Shopping carts have become a staple for those less fortunate. Without proper controls, your fleet could quickly become the centerpiece of the next neighborhood cookout.
