Mystery Shopper Research
In order to survive in a highly competitive environment, companies need to adopt different methods to strengthen their strength, expand market share and improve performance. One way to stand out is to provide the best customer service, so that customers can enjoy a unique consumption experience and become loyal customers. Therefore, being able to accurately grasp the service performance of front-line employees has become the key to success for companies. Many companies will use mystery customer surveys to evaluate whether the service attitude of employees and their product knowledge meet the company's standards.
Mystery shoppers will dress up as ordinary customers to perform research tasks, such as purchasing products, inquiring about services or dining, etc. Mystery shoppers will rate employees based on the company's workflow and service standards.
After repeated verification, the data obtained will be analyzed in depth by Wanxiantang's market research team, and the mystery customer company will finally produce a survey report for corporate reference. The survey report will cover "motivation analysis", "ASK analysis", "trend analysis", "competitor analysis" and "comprehensive information chart" that summarizes important data.
The execution process of mystery shopping investigation is complicated. If there is any mistake in the process, the investigation will be invalid. Therefore, mystery shopping companies must have rich experience to ensure good quality.

Key to Success: execution quality
The implementation of mystery shopper assessment is complex. Any tiny error could lead to the failure of a visit. Therefore, only agencies with rich mystery shopping experience can guarantee a good quality of implementation.
Question 1: Mystery shoppers could easily expose their identity
Cause 1: Mystery shoppers lack enough training. Some of them even implement tasks without training.
Cause 2: If a mystery shopper visits a shop several times within a short period, his identity could easily be exposed.
Solution:Agencies must train mystery shoppers how to conceal their identities, for example, how to hide recorders, how to ask questions and how to lead conversations. Moreover, agencies must avoid assigning the same mystery shopper to a shop for twice within a short period of time.
Question 2: Mystery shoppers could easily expose their identity
Cause:Agencies don’t present periodic reviews or the latest marketing research techniques to clients
Solution:Clients should choose a mystery shopping agency that can conduct periodic reviews for them. The research consultants should be able to provide clients with professional analysis based on the mystery shopping results.
Question 3: The results of mystery shopper investigations are inaccurate
Cause 1: Mystery shoppers fill in questionnaires carelessly without referring to recordings.
Cause 2: There are loopholes in the mystery shopping questionnaire. The options of answers are so confusing that mystery shoppers cannot correctly evaluate the performance of staffs.
Solution: The mystery shopping questionnaire must be designed by professional and experienced researchers. Many questionnaires in market are fixed in form and slipshod in design, which leads mystery shoppers to answer carelessly. Agencies must also avoid irresponsible mystery shoppers. Therefore, clients should choose an executing agency with complete training and quality control systems.
