Mystery Shopping Service

Testimonials
We needed research to provide market intelligence to inform marketing strategy and serve as a baseline measurement for measuring the success of future marketing activities.

We were impressed with the initial response from Mackman Research as it was intelligent and sensibly priced. Importantly because they are an East Anglian business they were able to bring a local understanding and knowledge to the project as well as offering cost savings.

We subsequently commissioned Mackman Research to undertake qualitative and quantitative research in the form of face-to-face interviews. They undertook the complete project (design of the methodology, questionnaire, data collection, analysis, and reporting) within time and to budget. At all times the staff at Mackman Research were very professional and easy to deal with.

The findings were clearly presented and have proved invaluable in helping to shape the marketing activities of the shopping centre. I can recommend Mackman research without hesitation as a specialist research company with whom you can place your trust. We intend to continue using their services.

Definition of Mystery Shopping by the MRS

Mystery shopping can be defined as the use of individuals trained to experience and measure any customer service process, by acting as potential customers and in some way reporting back on their experiences in a detailed and objective way. It differs from other research techniques in that the evaluator does not declare his/her presence and the respondent is unaware at the time of the interaction that it is in any way different from a normal customer contact. Ideally results from this technique should be used more for directing training and for rewards schemes rather than for disciplinary purposes.”
