Overview
Local mystery shoppers who know your market.
KwaZulu-Natal combines busy urban retail with coastal hotels, golf estates and a strong dealership and tourism market. Guests expect warm, consistent service, and a mystery shopper shows whether they get it.
RCA recruits and briefs shoppers for KwaZulu-Natal programmes so that Durban sites are measured against the same standards as the rest of your network.
Results are reported by site, so managers in Durban, Umhlanga and the coast can see their own scores and trends.
