Retail Customer Feedback

A shop can lose a sale at any step: finding the product, getting help, queuing at the till or dealing with a return. This template walks through the in-store journey in that order, so you learn where shoppers hesitate and what makes them walk out or come back.

15 questions

When to use this template

  • A day or two after an in-store purchase, for customers who agreed to be contacted at the till or through a loyalty programme.
  • After a store refit, a new range or a seasonal sale, to see how shoppers experienced the change.
  • When footfall is steady but sales are not, to understand what happens between the door and the till.

Tips for a useful conversation

  • Ask about a specific visit, not about the shop in general, so the answers are concrete.
  • Let the customer describe where they struggled before you suggest anything.
  • Pay attention to what people could not find: it often points to layout or stock rather than to staff.
  • Share the results with store teams by theme, with real quotes, so they can act on them.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Asking only about the staff, when the layout or the queue may be the real issue.
  • Treating a polite answer as a satisfied customer without asking for an example.
  • Collecting feedback that never reaches the store manager.
