The Need of Product Review and Mystery Shopping

The ability to find product reviews before online shopping is very useful for online shoppers. These reviews can be very helpful for consumers who are trying to decide whether or not to purchase a particular product or attempting to compare to similar products.

Importance of Product Review:

- Product information

Based on these product reviews the consumer may make a more informed decision about which products to purchase and which ones to avoid. However, there are different types of reviews available and some product reviews are more useful than others.

-  Direct sales

Many online retailers provide reviews of products they offer for sale directly on their own website. These reviews typically fall into two categories and include consumer product reviews and product reviews offered in terms for compensation.

There are thousands of blog shopping business nowadays. All of them competing for customer’s attention and patronage. All vying for top of mind recall in becoming the shoppers’ choice.

Importance of Mystery Shopping:

One of the strategies that became possible in order for these companies to stay in competition shape is to find out what is happening inside their establishments from a customer’s point of view. This gave birth to the mystery shopper.

Mystery shoppers, sometimes referred to as a secret shopper or a spotter are people hired by companies to shop in their stores. After undergoing trainings that will focus mainly on things that are to be observed.

Expected matters to spot:

- Improve customer relationship.

- Improve servicing.

- Update owners  on the manner that functions and tasks are carried out according to plans.

To evaluate and observe how the owners create a customer-centered blog shop.

Reports to be filed are often in the form of checklists that the secret shopper fills out.

The mystery shopper does all of these without inviting recognition. In fact, secret shoppers, before given assignments signs agreements where reports and everything written on it are not to be disclosed.

-  Advantageous to blog shops

With mystery shopping, blog shops are given the opportunity to measure the success or failure of the company.

Things to Remember in Handling Blog Shoppers

The most frequently asked question that I get is: How do you handle the blog shoppers? The answer isn’t an easy one and one that needs some ground work laid before answering.

Here are some things to remember in handling blog shoppers:

- Know the Internet

You have to know that Internet is a viable means by which people can easily purchase products and services.

- Test drive

We have to assume that if the customer came into your store after having been shopping or doing research on the Internet, then they are saying to you that I am going to give you a chance to make the sale. If they didn’t already buy from the Internet then apparently their mind is still open to additional information.

- Blog shop Visitors

When a customer comes into a store that they are not necessarily looking for the merchandise the store sells. I believe that they are looking for a place and a person from whom to buy the merchandise.

- Trust and Value

In a blog shop two things need to be established in order for a sale to be made. Those two things are “Trust” and “Value”. Let’s look at trust. How do we get a customer to trust us? With the media beating the industry up at every opportunity it is a difficult proposition to get a customer to trust blog shops. Ask yourself why should a customer buy from us? List the top twenty or thirty reasons why a customer should buy from you and develop those things into a customer benefited story.

- Valuing Issue

The issue of “Value” is another difficult situation. I believe that value is perception. Some people have a pre-conceived perception of value, some have a limited perception and others have no perception at all.

-Elevate customer’s perception

It is up to you to elevate the customer’s perception of value in buying, number one your merchandise and secondly buying it from you. Again going back and telling the customer the benefits of buying from you as opposed to buying from the internet.

- Sell yourself and your blog shop

In selling yourself and selling your store to the customer you will plant a seed of doubt in the customer’s mind in buying from anyone but you. By offering extended after the sale benefits the customer’s perception of value may grow to where it will offset any monetary savings that they receive from the internet.

- Branding

Make sure the stories that you tell are true and provable. In other words don’t make stuff up in order to elevate yourself above the competition but do sell yourself and thus “Brand” your blog shop as the place to buy. Most importantly practice the words that you say so that they are said with confidence and certainty.

Feeteenz ordered a ring from TOB, initially she replied to her mails promptly but after she have transferred, she started not to reply to her mails/tags. According to her, there’s also another victim “Cheryl”. She waited for her parcel to arrive in 10 days.

Finally her parcel arrived in her postbox and she was very excited about that but it was addressed to Jasmine. None of her family members are called Jasmine.

So she just went home, and open the parcel because she was curious. To her surprise, she saw the ring but in its horrible condition. The ring was dented and bent and really looks very horrible.
