Supermarket Shopping Attitudes and Habits Survey

Captures how shoppers choose, evaluate, and switch between grocery stores and channels — price sensitivity, loyalty behavior, and channel mix — for retail and CPG researchers. An AI follow-up interview digs into the real story behind a shopper's most recent store choice or channel switch, beyond what a closed question can capture.

Q09
AI Interview

Anchor on the store type the respondent said they use most and reconstruct the real story behind why: what first drew them there, and whether anything has recently made them consider trying a different store or channel. If they mentioned 'Other' as their main store, ask them to describe it. If they said they compare prices or plan around sales, probe a specific recent example of when that changed their behavior. Ask what would actually make them switch away from their current main store.

That wraps things up — thank you for sharing how you shop! Your responses will be combined with others to help retailers and brands understand what really drives grocery shopping 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

  • Combines closed-ended metrics — trip frequency, store type, satisfaction, loyalty program enrollment, MaxDiff on choice drivers, and constant-sum spend allocation across channels — with a dedicated AI follow-up interview that reconstructs the real story behind a shopper's most recent store choice or channel switch.
  • The AI interview explicitly anchors on the store type each respondent said they use most, so probing is personalized rather than generic, surfacing context (price, convenience, a bad experience) that closed questions can't capture.
  • Includes a matrix of grocery-shopping attitude statements plus standard demographic segmentation (age, household size, income) so retail/CPG researchers can slice qualitative themes against quantitative behavior.
  • Every AI-driven question's prompt logic is transparent and reports are auto-generated, removing manual coding of open-ended responses.

QuestionPro

Supermarket Shopping Attitudes Survey Template

This is a direct topical match — a ready-to-field template covering grocery shopping habits and attitudes on an established survey platform. It likely includes standard closed-ended questions on store choice, frequency, and satisfaction, backed by QuestionPro's broader analytics suite. It is a static questionnaire rather than one built around conversational follow-up.

What it does well

  • Established, well-known survey platform with broad template library and reporting tools
  • Purpose-built template for the same supermarket/grocery shopping topic
  • Likely supports standard cross-tabulation and demographic segmentation

Where it falls short

  • No adaptive AI follow-up interview to probe the reasoning behind a store switch or channel choice
  • No voice AI interview option or guided screen-share tasks
  • No automated per-response quality scoring or transparent AI prompt methodology disclosed
