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.
Sample questions
A preview of what’s in the template. Every question is editable before you launch.
Which supermarket do you shop at most often for groceries?
- (Replace with Competitor A)
- (Replace with Competitor B)
- (Replace with Competitor C)
- (Replace with Competitor D)
- (Template note: customize this list with the actual supermarket chains in your market before launching.)
In the last 30 days, how many separate grocery shopping trips did you make there?
- None — I didn't shop there this month
- 1-2 trips
- 3-5 trips
- 6-10 trips
- More than 10 trips
When choosing which supermarket to shop at, which of these matters most to you and which matters least?
- Everyday low prices
- Sales and promotions
- Product quality and freshness
- Variety and selection of products
- Store cleanliness and organization
- Convenient location
- Fast, easy checkout
- Loyalty or rewards program
- Online ordering or delivery options
Thinking about the supermarket you shop at most often, how would you rate it on each of these?
- Everyday prices
- Product quality/freshness
- Variety of products
- Store cleanliness
- Staff friendliness and helpfulness
- +2 more
How likely are you to recommend the supermarket you shop at most often to a friend or family member?
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
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.

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 TemplateThis 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
