It's not just shopping
Mystery shopping is a hugely versatile tool; not only is it an objective way of measuring business performance, it also in itself drives positive behaviours amongst teams.
Mystery shopping provides the insight into the customer experience and is also the solution to improving it.
It works for any product or service in any industry; whether it’s transport, medical or business. Click ‘read more’ below to see which industries we work within:

Programme Design
We believe that the design phase is the foundation of a successful programme.
In order for us to guarantee its success, we will want to really understand a typical customer’s journey to ensure we capture insight on all of the necessary touchpoints.
We will design the programme methodology and assessment forms to gather the data required to meet programme objectives.
The most successful programmes are those where staff have
been fully consulted and – ideally – involved in designing the assessment forms
against which they will be measured. We can provide help, guides and materials to support this taking place.
01
Recruit
Between 50-100 people sign up to our panel every single day and we ask them a range of questions to build their “shopper profile”.
02
Brief
Mystery shoppers are provided with a comprehensive brief detailing the requirements before their assessment.
03
Assess
Shoppers complete their assessment using our free mobile app, allowing data to be collected in real-time whilst remaining covert.
Reporting Results
Actionable Data
Our team of experts will not only provide you with the results of the assessments, but also give you deeper insight into how you can action the findings for ongoing improvement. The programme itself will be designed to encourage performance improvement amongst your teams and we will work with you until you achieve and exceed your customer experience goals!
