'In 2004, the MSPA (Mystery Shopping Providers Association) conducted one of the
first tests to gauge the use and effectiveness of mystery shopping. Over 8.1 million
mystery shops were conducted and the businesses that employed mystery shopping as
a market research technique experienced growth of over 10% on average.'

measure how effectively a promotional campaign is rolled out and supported at the
store and consumer level.
