How the Right Shopping Basket Can Increase Customer Spend

Small fixture. Big impact. The shopping basket you choose can nudge customers to pick up more items, browse longer and enjoy a smoother in-store experience.

Why the Right Basket Boosts Spend

Comfort & Capacity

Customers buy more when carrying is easy. Larger handheld and rolling baskets reduce the “I’ve got enough” moment that stops a shop early.

Visibility & Placement

Place stacked baskets by the entrance with clear signage. When baskets are part of the journey from the first step, average basket size rises.

Brand Perception

Clean, modern baskets in your brand colours reinforce quality and trust. Ask us about branding options on our Shopping Baskets range.

Features That Influence Behaviour

• Capacity choices: offer compact handheld plus higher-volume rolling options. Try the 21 L Small Shopping Basket, the 28 L Large Shopping Basket and the 43 L Roller Shopping Basket.
• Mobility: rolling baskets make longer trips effortless.
• Ergonomics: reinforced handles, smooth edges, easy stacking.
• Durability: UV-resistant plastic keeps colour and strength longer.
• Stands & signage: keep entrances tidy and boost pick-up rates with a Shopping Basket Stand and Sign Holder Kit.

Simple Implementation for Australian Retailers

1. Audit your current baskets for size, condition and visibility.
2. Select a mix from our Shopping Baskets to suit store format.
3. Add a neat stand and “Grab a basket” sign (see Shopping Trolleys & Baskets).
4. Track impact in POS: average transaction value and basket usage.
5. Refresh regularly—cleaning and rotation maintain that “new” feel.
