Supermarket Selection Criteria & Shopper Loyalty Survey

Uncovers what actually drives shoppers to pick and stay loyal to a supermarket — price, freshness, convenience, or rewards — using a best-worst trade-off exercise, a satisfaction battery, and an AI follow-up interview that reconstructs the real story behind a recent switch or near-switch. Built for grocery retail and category insights teams.

Q07
Multiple ChoiceRequired

In the last 3 months, have you moved any of your grocery shopping to a different supermarket?

  • Yes, I moved most of my shopping there
  • Yes, I moved a small part of my shopping there
  • No, but I've considered it
  • No, I haven't considered it
Q08
AI Interview

Reconstruct the specific decision behind the respondent's switching answer. If they moved shopping elsewhere or considered it, find out what triggered it — a specific bad experience, a price change, a new store opening — and which single attribute from their most-important pick actually tipped the scale. If they haven't considered switching, probe what would have to change at their current supermarket for them to seriously consider leaving. Get concrete, recent examples rather than general impressions.

That's everything — thank you for sharing how you shop! Your responses will feed into a report on what drives supermarket choice and loyalty, helping shape pricing, store experience, and rewards decisions.

What’s included

  • AI follow-ups

    Adaptive probes on open-ended answers that pull out detail a static form would miss.

  • Attention checks

    Built-in safeguards against rushed answers and low-quality respondents.

  • AI-drafted copy

    Wording, ordering, and branching written by the AI — tuned to your research goal.

  • Auto report

    Themes, quotes, and a plain-English summary write themselves once responses come in.

How it compares

We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.

Why this template

  • Uses a best-worst trade-off exercise to force real prioritization between price, freshness, convenience, and rewards, rather than relying on flat rating scales alone
  • Pairs a satisfaction battery with an AI follow-up interview that reconstructs the actual story behind a recent switch or near-switch, capturing context static surveys miss
  • Includes transparent, reviewable AI prompts so retail and category insights teams can see exactly how the follow-up probes respondents
  • Automated per-response quality scoring and an auto-generated report mean teams get analysis-ready output without manual coding of open-ends

QuestionPro

Supermarket Selection Criteria Survey Template

This is a directly comparable, fielding-ready template covering supermarket choice factors for grocery retail research. It's built on QuestionPro's standard survey engine, so it likely relies on fixed question flows rather than adaptive follow-up. Good option for teams already standardized on QuestionPro's platform and reporting tools.

What it does well

  • Purpose-built for the same supermarket selection use case, so question relevance is high out of the box
  • Backed by QuestionPro's established survey platform with broad distribution and panel options
  • Likely includes standard analytics/dashboard reporting typical of QuestionPro templates

Where it falls short

  • No adaptive AI follow-up interview to probe deeper into an individual respondent's switching decision — questions are static once fielded
  • No indication of voice AI interview capability or guided screen-share tasks
  • No published methodology or prompt transparency for how open-ended responses are analyzed or scored
