Overview

Local mystery shoppers who know your market.

Gauteng is the largest consumer market in South Africa, with dense retail, large shopping centres, busy dealerships and premium golf and hospitality venues. Standards slip fastest where volumes are highest, and a mystery shopper shows where.

RCA has delivered golf, hospitality and retail work for clients in the Johannesburg area and recruits shoppers for Gauteng programmes.

Programmes can cover single sites, regional groups or national networks, with Gauteng reported on its own and against other regions.

Step 2

Calibrate

Matched shoppers are briefed on the scenario and scorecard so every visit is judged the same way.

Step 3

Visit

Shoppers complete the visit, call or purchase and submit evidence-based reports.

Step 4

Report and review
