Retail

It’s no secret that the retail landscape is constantly evolving — and right now, we’re in the middle of a whirlwind change. The rise of online retailers has led to a redefinition of “shopping” that seems to prize convenience and efficiency above all, sometimes spelling trouble for traditional brick-and-mortar stores.

But that’s not the whole story.

Amidst these changes, one fundamental thing has held true: customers still have a deep desire for authentic interactions. They are seeking an experience that starts long before, and goes far beyond, the transaction.

While there are many ways to measure the customer experience, only our Mystery Shopping and Customer Ambassador Programs truly provide a 360° view for retailers.

Why? First, they provide detailed, unbiased information that reflects the customer’s viewpoint — no more wondering whether an internal audit is providing realistic results or choosing between quantity and quality of data points.
These programs are also the key to driving operational change in your business: our mission is to help you succeed, which means capturing constructive feedback (this is no “gotcha” moment).
We work with you to ensure that every survey or mystery shop reflects your culture, goals and outlook; evaluate your training processes, set benchmarks and work towards goals in a realistic, incremental manner.
