Value is no mystery
Mystery shopping is a so-called value-added tool for businesses that use the service, advocates say. They point to three big reasons why mystery shopping helps:
- It costs four times more to attract a new customer (through sales, coupons and advertising) than it does to keep an existing customer.
- Almost 95 percent of people who have a problem with service won’t speak up but also will never come back.
- If a person has a good shopping experience, he or she will tell four people. If a person has a bad experience, he or she will tell 11 people.
