FAQ'sThe cost varies from client to client and depends on a number of factors including the type of shop required, the number and frequency of shops requested, and the scope of information being sought. TechnologyStoreShopper will prepare a detailed proposal based on your specific needs. TechnologyStoreShopper offers secret shopping programs in all 50 states. We have access to shoppers across the U.S. who are ready to shop for you. Shoppers can be recruited based on specific demographics, experience or skill sets, depending on your needs. All of our shoppers are pre-screened, given comprehensive training and orientations on each project, and coached to ensure the most effective shops. Secret shopper programs are built around your needs. In the set-up stage we will sit down with you, review your goals and needs, your current forms (if any) and your desired results. We will then go to work to develop your program, show you sample forms, and complete some sample shops. Then the program is rolled out either full-scale or in phases – whichever you prefer. Feedback is always sought and programs can be modified along the way. Once we’ve established the goals and scope of your secret shopper program, and the forms have been developed and tested, TechnologyStoreShopper can mobilize thousands of shoppers across the United States in as quickly as a few hours. The process can take as little as a week or as long as six weeks depending on your organization, your approval process and your timeline.
