How Mystery Visits Work.
Mystery Shopping is a well-known method of customer research. Leverage BARE International’s 35+ years of experience that has taken this tried and true method to new levels to evaluate your customers’ experiences.
Using calls, clicks or visits, our global workforce of evaluators follow predefined scenarios. Evaluators record their experience at various touch points throughout the customer journey.
