Mystery Shopping

Check out your competition through the eyes of the customer. Whether you're simply interested in learning how you stack up to the competition, or you want to collect information on their operational standards, service procedures, or pricing information, this service will give you the information you need. The reports tell you exactly what is being promoted, priced and marketed, as well as evaluate the levels of customer service provided by your competition. Our state of the art technology allows you to see what your competitors are doing via digital verification. 

This service will allow you to evaluate how existing customers are treated when they visit your company. These shoppers are "planted" into your business through fictitious accounts, membership, or class/program registration. As active participants, you can see your business through the eyes of your customer on a regular, consistent basis to ensure the high levels of customer service standards are continually met. This is an exceptional program for banks, park districts, fitness centers, day care centers, and preschools, as well as other businesses that rely on customer memberships or accounts.

You don't get a second chance to make a first impression.....for many companies, that first impression happens when a customer calls you. This service evaluates employee interactions and how they handle incoming customer calls. This is an economical method of determining the service levels and customer interaction of your call center or customer service group. We also have the capability to record telephone evaluations. With one click, you can hear the entire conversation to ensure your standards are being met.

This service combines the specific, objective observation taken from mystery shopping and the subjective information gleaned from focus groups for maximum benefit!

Our "Interview the Shopper" gives companies great insight into their business. Trained mystery shoppers are used to conduct a series of shops at your place of business and that of your competitor (if you choose to do so). Not only will you see the individual shop reports as they are completed, but you will have the unique opportunity to meet in person with the group of shoppers for a focus group style interaction.
Traditional focus groups utilize your typical "untrained" customer to give you insight into how they perceive your business; with our new approach, you can glean specific feedback based around your training procedures and operational standards - what "typical" customer can give you that information?

Designing a program is simple - first, define your goal. What is it you want to learn more about? Strictly customer service issues? Merchandising or new product lines? How about learning more about a new customer demographic you'd like to see as your customer base? Choose your goal and let us design a program to get the information you need.
The interview the shopper program is affordable and can be executed quickly and easily. Contact us  to learn more and schedule a time to discuss your specific needs.

Liquor and tobacco compliance is a significant concern among retailers and restaurants alike. Starting a proactive mystery shopping program in which tobacco or liquor products are purchased and tracking identification requests can be beneficial for your company. The mystery shoppers will fall into the appropriate demographics to accurately measure compliance levels.
