What criteria determine the cost of a good Mystery Guest Research?

Why is the feedback from mystery shoppers reliable?

Our mystery shoppers receive an extensive briefing before the start of their assignment so that they are always well prepared. The number of assignments per mystery shopper is limited in order to guarantee quality. On top, there's an internal control before the delivery of the final results.
