Mystery Shopping Services

Retail, Travel and Home

Retail
Our agents visit your shop, pub, restaurant, bank branch, garage or other premises. They may or may not purchase, depending on how essential that is to achieving your objectives. Or they belong to your club and report back on how it feels to be a member.

Travel
Our agents travel on your trains, planes, ships, buses, coaches etc. or our agents go on one of your holidays and tell you about their experience.

Home
Our agents order goods for delivery at their home and let you know when those goods arrive, in what condition and whether they were correct as ordered or they ask you to deliver a service at their homes and tell you how well your staff did the job.

Telephone and Internet

Telephone - Outbound
Our agents make calls pretending to be customers and report back on how the call was handled. They can test all your telephone lines, your call centre, and your email response, as well as your web site. We can provide sample tapes or a tape of every call to help you coach staff towards excellence.

Telephone - Inbound
We can also provide an inbound call service to monitor your outbound Call Centre activity. Our agents will answer as if private individuals or businesses as required.

Internet
Internet sites which offer a response facility have acquired a poor reputation - it often seems that response forms disappear forever into the ether. We can monitor your site giving you feedback on usability and functionality, and how quickly and reliably our enquiries receive a response from your company. We have a panel of home internet users who carry out this service using a variety of different email addresses.

Business-to-Business
We can usually find ways of simulating a business calling your lines, though you may need to help us generate realistic scenarios. We relish a real challenge!

Customer Satisfaction Research

We can interview your customers by telephone, or on site. We can tell you what they think of your service and what they would like you to change or improve. We can find out why former customers switched to a competitor or whether current customers might consider doing so and why - and what they say you can do to ensure they don't!

Paper-based Surveys

We can run your paper-based customer surveys such as comment cards and postal surveys, providing a data entry service with periodic summary reports. We can provide feedback sheets for delegates at your conferences, validation and evaluation forms and reports for trainees on your courses and employee opinion surveys to keep you abreast of the thoughts and feelings of your staff.
