To help make you the most-informed decision, here are some common questions. More questions? Scroll down, fill out the form and just ask!
Mystery shopping gives you an honest view of what’s happening in retail in the eyes of a shopper. This is particularly important to understand their purchasing journey experience, including retailer staff advocacy, knowledge of your brand, store behaviours, your brand’s ‘health’ in retail, or even process compliance.
By analysing these outcomes, our team can design better field strategies through merchandising, field sales, or brand ambassadors. For example, knowing how retailer staff feel about your brand or how they engage with customers means you can run a very targeted staff education program.
This depends on current challenges and opportunities your products and brands are facing in retail. Mystery shopping is about gathering information that allows you to enhance your sales strategies or make changes to improve performance.
It’s hard to capture all field trends here on this page, especially across so many verticals – we encourage you to chat with us, and check out our blog articles for trends & insights.
Feel free to reach out to us via the contact us form. We’ll require some details about your brief and what you’re looking to achieve. If you aren’t able to share these details with us, or you’re just in the discovery phase, we’re happy to have a chat to get you started.
