Employees spending hours rounding up stray shopping trolleys, carts taking up valuable car parking space, battered old trolley drops that nobody uses...
The shopping experience begins and ends in the supermarket car park and McCue's CartMagnet helps solve the long-standing issue of unsighlty unreturned trolleys cluttering up your critical parking spaces.
Many of our larger retail customers have discovered that using CartMagnet reduces wasted labour hours, increases durability and has customers happily returning their carts.
Based on a survey we conducted with retailers, time spent collecting carts adds up to, on average, 60 hours per week. After adding CartMagnets to their car park, retailers saw that number drop 35%. Cutting down hours spent collecting carts allows employees to spend more time conducting revenue-generating work such as stocking shelves and assisting customers.
Based on these figures, many customers have saved up to £170 a week in labour costs directly associated to reduced time spent on cart collection. That adds up to about £9,000 per year – how's that for a return on investment?
But that's not all. One of the biggest challenges store managers face with cart corrals is preventing continual damage from cars. CartMagnet is engineered with strength in mind. Its tubing diameter is 56% larger than the average cart corral, making it one of the most durable on the market. According to shopper feedback, CartMagnets are more visible from afar. Strategically placed high signage reduces the risk of customers accidently hitting or driving into them.
It’s a well-researched fact that customers won’t go out of their way to find a cart corral. If a customer can’t see where the nearest return station is located they won’t return their cart. CartMagnet is highly visible with colourful front signage that’s easy to spot over mini-vans and SUVs, making cart return easier for the customer and cart retrieval easier and less costly for you.
