Program 01 · Physical Visits

In-Store Mystery Shopping

Trained shoppers, graded by experience, visit your stores as customers and work through service and sales scenarios designed for your brand. Each visit is assessed against a questionnaire built from the ground up around your training and standards.

Monthly scenarios and focus areas compare team members fairly and let you measure specific campaigns, such as a promotion or new product.

FAQs

Questions Retailers Ask.

Can the program be tailored to our business?

Yes. Rather than adjusting a standard template, RDG builds the questionnaire, scenarios and shopper profiles around your strategy, training and retail standards.

What’s the difference between in-store and digital?

In-store programs send trained shoppers to work through set scenarios. Digital programs invite real customers to give feedback by email after buying in store. Neither reviews your website or online checkout.

How does it support our team?

It’s designed for continuous improvement. Results focus on what’s within your team’s control, compare people fairly through consistent scenarios, and link directly to training and coaching.

What reporting will we receive?

Online reporting you can filter by store, question and timeframe. Summary reporting with GAP analysis and store-level recommendations can be added — we’ll discuss what suits your objectives.

How much does a program cost?

Each program is scoped to your stores, objectives and reporting needs, so we discuss investment once we understand what you want to achieve.

How often should stores be visited?

Most retailers measure monthly or quarterly. Regular rounds show whether coaching is working and keep teams focused on the standards that matter.

Will our team know when a mystery shopper visits?

No. Shoppers are trained to behave like real customers, so you see the experience your customers actually get.

Who are your mystery shoppers?

Experienced shoppers matched to your customer profile and graded by capability, so every visit is credible and consistent.
