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.

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.

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 TemplateThis 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
