Mystery Shopping research can be the source of complex data acquisition, by conducting both passive observations - the mystery shopper observes how other customers are served, and active observation - the mystery shopper plays the role of a customer.
A control visit (an audit) takes place when the auditor (the mystery shopper) plays the role of a potential customer (with precisely chosen traits), and tries to obtain information about a given product or service.
Specially trained auditors (as clients), visit a given location, and act according to a previously planned scenario. When the visit finishes the auditors immediately fill out the appropriate form. The results are published electronically in the form of a presentation, or on-line on a specially prepared website for our registered clients.
