Mystery Shopping

To effectively measure the customer experience at hotels, we’ve developed a unique model that comprehensively reflects the guest’s journey- from booking to checkout. Each department is rigorously tested and rated on both operational and service standards. Does the reception provide all necessary information? Does the room meet hotel standards? How well do the dining room staff perform, and are the waitstaff actively trying to boost sales? Is the pool staff efficient? How effective is the room service team? Does the checkout process leave the guest wanting to return?

At M.I.S, we believe that the answers to these questions, along with detailed verbal feedback on not just “what” was done but “how” it was done, provide you with a true understanding of service levels and offer tools for effective improvement.

 As a manager in a manufacturing or importing company whose products are sold through retailers, your ability to influence how products are presented at the final point of sale is limited. This makes obtaining up to date marketing information crucial for decision-making. Who do retailers recommend? What are their attitudes towards your products compared to competitors? Is the sale price aligned with company policy? Is promotional material being used effectively to support the product? Conducting mystery shopper evaluations to answer these questions will provide you with effective tools for decision making and managing retailer relationships. You can also integrate sales promotion activities into your retailer evaluations to maximize sales potential.

 It’s well known that effective point-of-sale interactions can significantly enhance product engagement. Many companies invest substantial resources in creating product awareness and promotional activities at the point of sale and rely on third-party companies to “close the deal” when the product meets the customer. Are the staff opening the sales counters on time? Are they initiating contact with customers? Do they make adjustments when necessary? Do they direct customers to the shelves? At M.I.S, we believe that answering these questions, and more, combined with detailed explanations of not just “what” was done but also “how” it was done, will provide you with real insights into service quality and the effectiveness of point of sale promotions. Through online reporting from the field on the performance of third-party companies, you can make timely adjustments and improvements, rather than waiting for retrospective analysis.

At M.I.S, we believe that the answers to these questions, and more, combined with detailed explanations of not just “what” was done but also “how” it was done, will provide you with real insights into the level of service and customer interaction during key moments, equipping you with the tools needed for effective improvement.
