There Is Such A Thing As A Free Lunch: Mystery Shopping Explained

Mystery or secret shopping as it is sometimes known, has grown from strength to strength in recent years. It involves posing a real customer to try a product or service then reporting back on the experience. A company will use this information to measure their customer service and if necessary, improve it.
