Mystery investigations, although useful for gathering some targeted information, still show some limitations since they focus mainly on the observation of staff behavior or operational efficiency, but fail to explore in depth the real motivations, expectations and desires of customers nor allow to precisely identify the strategic levers to improve company competitiveness.

To go beyond a superficial vision and obtain truly useful data to guide business decisions, it is essential to combine mystery investigations with customized market research.

This approach allows you to analyze the market with greater precision, collecting detailed and reliable insights that not only explain the observed behaviors, but help define long-term strategies based on a deep understanding of customer needs and growth opportunities.
