MYSTERY SHOPPING THREAD XII - ** New people please read posts 1 & 2 **

St00zer

A bank and 2 phone shops have been added near me today.

OK - But will they have more jobs later in the year? I suppose it depends on how long you have been with them to be able to answer my question.

Banks, phones, supermarkets, electrical stores, computer shops etc will be added throughout the year. Everywhere is quiet at the mo, most people and companies either off work or skeleton staff till the New Year.

I've never seen electrical stores or computer shops, but I have seen a few different clothing companies and a magical store (my favourite!). I did also see a restaurant but was on holiday when it came on and haven't seen it again since July.

Hi everyone, my apologies if I am repeating someone's question, but:

Which Mystery company does Marks and Spencer's ?

I know, but I'm afraid I'm not at liberty to divulge. It's by invitation only.

quick google search shows this may not be true but

Consumer Intelligence
Very impressive client list includes Marks & Spencer, Barclays, Churchill, HSBC, Budget etc. Located in bristol. In their own words:

i have shopped both hsbc and barclays for different ms companies to that before. wonder if that is actually true as can't see why other companies want their clients a secret if they are happy to list them if it is true m&S seem abit random for them as the rest are all financial companies

think i can guess what company tg is referring to based on previous discussions but if is invitation only not much you can do! :rolleyes:

As TG says 'Invitation only' ...join the agencies mentioned, prove yourself as a MSer and you may be invited. It's the same with a lot of other clients too. Some clients have very exact and high standards, so they only want the best.

Some clients are with multiply agencies...different sort of shopping experience to report on . And Clients move agencies over the years partly for financial savings but also to gain different shoppers.


Happy Christmas and New Year everyone.....I have been on a few holidays throughout December and have just had a day catching up. Off on another jolly jaunt tomorrow.

Loving some of the banter on the thread; tempted to add comments but think I will let it all pass.

Hope the New Year is prosperous for all. Cheers_party_

That isn't the company.

Interesting to see how many different companies claim to have the same clients though. I've seen one of the companies you mention earlier with two other companies. :think:

I didnt think for one minute it would be :rotfl: but I am sure that 30 minutes on google and some one some where will slip up. I am not really that bothered as I have more work than I can cope with anyway but thought I would put my findings on.
