Trolley shelters are something you may not think about when it comes to doing your weekly shopping, but they are surprisingly a key component of increasing revenue. Trolley shelters such as those available at Shelter Store do more than just keep your car park tidy!
While having trolley shelters in your premises keeps the area clean and tidy for customers, they also provide better working conditions for staff. Having trolley shelters allows for easier cleanup, meaning staff have somewhere to safely secure the trolleys and ensure the area is tidy and safe for customers. Not having specific trolley spaces is a health hazard to both customers and staff trying to drive and park in busy areas, no matter how open or spacious they may be. It is also a hazard for young people who may try to steal them as a “joke” and get injured in the process. This is something you definitely want to avoid happening on your premises.
What are the benefits of trolley shelters for customers?
Trolley shelters also provide benefits for customers as they unknowingly heighten the customer experience. Would you want to place your child on a wet trolley seat? Or would you start to consider competitors who shelter their trolleys from the elements? Exactly. Not only do you risk the child getting ill, but you also risk the chance of screaming, uncomfortable children in your store as they sit on a wet seat and dream of going home. This is an unpleasant experience for the child, the parents, other customers in the store, and you.
They can also impact customers as:
- Customers may avoid wet trolleys and opt for dry baskets from inside the store door. This limits the number of items the customer can pick up, thus limiting spending costs and your profit.
- While they might still opt to use a trolley, British weather means it is likely that the newly bought products may get wet on the walk back to the car after purchase. Especially if the customer has bought products which are packaged in paper bags. This is likely to lower their perception of the store as their products will not be top quality by the time they get home. While this is not your fault, it will indirectly impact you.
Trolley shelters are a valuable addition to any community. Not only do they provide a convenient and sheltered location for trolley users to wait, but they also promote the use of public transportation, which can help reduce traffic congestion and air pollution. Trolley shelters can also be designed to blend in with the surrounding area, making them a visually appealing addition to the community. Trolley shelters are a win-win for both trolley users and the community as a whole.
Trolley shelters are the ultimate solution. Available from Shelter Store, they come in different sizes, shapes and designs, allowing for the practical organisation of your premises while still being easy on the eye. What are you waiting for?
