Challenge

Austin Reed, together with CC and Viyella were keen to obtain customer perception regarding the in-store experience at nationwide retail outlets. Due to the audience demographic and the in-store environment it was felt that a paper based survey solution would be the most appropriate, which can be completed at point of sale. The main objectives of the customer survey was to gain insight with regard to the shopping experience, perception of the products including quality and also perceptions relating to the CC, Austin Reed and Viyella brands in comparison with competitive brands. 
​
Although Austin Reed has the resources in-store to conduct the surveys, Austin Reed felt the need to find an outsourced expert solution for the data capture of the responses and to interpret, analyse and provide presentation style reporting of the results.
