Ellis Mystery Shop Benchmark Program
Ellis Mystery Shop Benchmark Program
At Ellis, we monitor and publish performance across our entire mystery shopping database and maintain a record of historical results for all Ellis Mystery Shops over time.
Benchmarks for the onsite mystery shop, virtual tour shop, and customer experience (through onsite mystery shops) are calculated independently as part of the Ellis Benchmark program and are published quarterly in the Ellis Mystery Shop and Resident Surveys letter, recognizing top performers in each program.
