Dr. Max case study

Overview

We have been working with Dr.Max on improving its customer experience for over 5 years now. Before 2018, the company relied mainly on mystery shopping. However, the collected data were inconsistent, low in volume, and of low interpretational value.

Staffino helped Dr.Max develop Mastery Shopping®, a unique campaign that enables the company to gather more quantitative data and opinions of hundreds of real customers daily through shorter, more engaging surveys. This approach makes it easier to understand why customers like or dislike shopping at Dr.Max pharmacies.

Methodology

Our Mastery Shopping® module made it possible to ask dozens of questions split into different questionnaires measuring ​​CSAT, NPS, and other metrics to cover the emotional path of the customer, their loyalty, or upsell.

We measured each retail purchase with a loyalty card individually and the customer satisfaction was measured down to the pharmacists' approach. Feedback was requested via email and SMS.

Goal

Identify the drivers of positive or negative customer experience and increase revenue.

#5 Engaging employees via positive feedback decreases voluntary employee attrition

It is no surprise that recognizing employee achievements and increasing their sense of belonging minimizes attrition and saves money, which is otherwise spent on newcomers. We have also found that 8–9 of 10 feedbacks for Dr.Max are positive and can be effectively used to motivate employees.

Thanks to Staffino, we can now pinpoint exactly which of our branches have ongoing issues affecting the shopping experience and identify the specific pharmacists that have impacted our customers’ feelings”.
