Strategic Partnerships
We believe the best results come from collaboration. Whether you’re a consultant helping clients improve their customer experience, a market research agency seeking specialist mystery shopping expertise, or an international provider needing UK coverage, we’re keen to establish long-term working relationships that deliver exceptional value for your clients.
At Customerwise, we’re delighted to work with other professionals and recognise them as partners to deliver even better outcomes for businesses that need our combined expertise.
Consultants & Professional Advisors
We regularly work with consultants who specialise in various fields and want to incorporate customer experience research, competitor research and other offerings into their client projects. Whether you’re an independent consultant or part of a larger consultancy, we’re pleased to collaborate as part of your team.
Specialist Areas We Support
We’ve successfully partnered with consultants specialising in:
- Pricing Optimisation: Mystery shopping to test pricing strategies and customer responses
- Sales Training: Baseline measurement and ongoing monitoring of sales performance improvements
- Regulatory Compliance: Specialist advice on staff practices and procedures to reduce business risk
- Marketing Consultancy: Customer experience research to support marketing strategies and messaging

- Digital Transformation: Testing online customer journeys and digital experience improvements

How We Work Together
Our collaboration can take various forms depending on your client’s needs and your preferred working style:
- Project Coordination: We can work directly with you to design and deliver services as part of your broader client engagement
- Specialist Subcontracting: You maintain the primary client relationship while we deliver the customer experience research components
- Joint Proposals: We can collaborate on proposals where customer experience research is a key component
- Ongoing Partnerships: Long-term arrangements where we become your preferred partner
Partnership Success Story
A prime example of our collaborative approach is our long-term partnership with Product Partnerships Ltd, where we serve as their preferred mystery shopping provider. This relationship demonstrates how specialist consultancies can enhance their service offering by partnering with Customerwise for compliance monitoring programmes.
Market Research Agencies
Many market research agencies contact us when their clients require specialist mystery shopping services that fall outside their core capabilities. We’re always pleased to support fellow research professionals in delivering comprehensive solutions to their clients.
Complementary Expertise
We work particularly well with agencies that offer:
- Quantitative Research: Adding qualitative mystery shopping insights to survey-based studies
- Brand Research: Customer experience evaluation to complement brand perception studies
- Market Analysis: Competitive intelligence through mystery shopping alongside desk research
- Customer Journey Research: Detailed evaluation of specific touchpoints within broader journey mapping
Flexible Partnership Models
- Direct subcontracting: We can deliver mystery shopping or other services under your agency’s brand when appropriate. For ongoing programmes, however, we prefer to be a visible delivery partner.
- Joint Delivery: Collaborative projects where both agencies are visible to the client
- Specialist Referrals: Simple referral arrangements for clients needing mystery shopping expertise
- Integrated Reporting: Combined analysis and reporting that brings together different research methodologies
International Mystery Shopping Providers
We regularly receive enquiries from overseas mystery shopping companies that need reliable UK coverage for their international clients. We’re always pleased to support fellow professionals in delivering seamless global programmes.
