Scenarios

Mystery shoppers recruited

Suitable mystery shoppers were recruited and fully briefed on what to expect. Where possible, shoppers who were already business owners were recruited. Otherwise, shoppers used ‘dummy’ company details (often using their friends or family’s’ businesses), so that they could portray themselves as genuine B2B customers. They were provided with scenarios which varied, allowing different elements of the business to be assessed. Scenario 01. Placing order for an out of stock item. Scenario 02. Asking for discounts. Scenario 03. Chasing deliveries.

Shoppers were tasked with making contact with the Springpack team via a telephone call. Shoppers had to make note of the details of their contact for example, how long the call was in total and how long it took to be answered.

On the day of delivery, shoppers were asked to call the Springpack contact team again and find out when their items were due to be delivered.

After the product was delivered, shoppers were asked to take photographs and upload these and their receipt to their online assessment form, where they provided feedback on their overall experience.
