Overview

What a mystery shopping supplier should deliver.

Choosing a provider is a quality decision. The visit is only as good as the person making it and the checks behind the report. RCA draws on its own community of shoppers, matched to your guest profile and briefed on your scenario.

RCA has audited more than 1,600 brands and measured more than 50 golf clubs and resorts. Our Define · Educate · Measure approach connects the shop to training, so the programme improves service and does not stop at a report.

We work across retail, shopping centres, online stores, hospitality, golf, automotive dealerships, call centres and food and beverage.

In more detail

How to choose a supplier

Ask any provider how shoppers are recruited and matched, how reports are checked, how scorecards are agreed, how results are compared between waves and what happens after the report. Ask how staff and shopper information is protected. RCA is happy to answer each of these in the proposal stage.
