Across Africa, getting to the people we need to meet can be an adventure of its own.

Cars, buses, tuk-tuks… and sometimes whatever gets us there! 🛺

Different roads, different journeys, and a little adventure along the way.

That's another side of research we love sharing. 📸

For this assignment, our team headed into cotton-growing areas to meet farmers, hear their stories and better understand the realities behind the value chain.

Long roads, rural communities, field notes — and plenty of cotton along the way.

That’s part of what we love about research: getting out there, meeting people where they are, and seeing the context behind the data.

𝗘𝗻𝗻 𝗻𝗼𝘂𝘃𝗼 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘁!

For many years, DCDM Research has worked across Africa — in cities, rural communities, farms, households and places that rarely make it onto our social media pages. We haven't always shared the journey behind them.
𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭'𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞!

Over the coming months, we'll be opening a small window onto this side of DCDM Research: the countries we work in, the environments our teams navigate, and the realities behind field research across the continent.

A country. A place. A moment from the field. And occasionally, a little of what it takes to get the research done.

The Problems You Cannot See
Usually, customers won’t complain or tell you what they don’t like. They will simply walk away, feeling disappointed and won’t return. For the business, that disappointment might quietly turn into a loss.
But did you know that customer satisfaction surveys can help you capture honest feedback before it turns into lost business?

These surveys can:
- Collect direct feedback
- Help you better understand customer expectations
- Identify the areas that need attention before they begin to affect your business

Do You Want to Know How Satisfied Your Customers Are?

Knowing if customers are satisfied is critical for business survival.

Satisfied and happy customers boost revenue, and positive word-of-mouth eventually decreases the need for heavy marketing spend. However, customer satisfaction is not something you assume, it’s more about something you measure!

In general, customer satisfaction surveys can help you capture honest feedback and measurable insights, helping you understand what works and what needs improvement.

Are Your Employees Delivering the Experience You Expect?

Did you know that mystery shopping was originally used in the banking sector to evaluate employee integrity and service quality?

Customer facing your employees have a direct influence on how clients perceive your brand. Hence, it is important to assess how your employees are interacting with customers in real situations and turning them into brand advocates.


As an objective and professional research tool, mystery shopping can easily help evaluate whether your employees are consistently delivering your service standards to customers. If you want to identify gaps and aim for a more targeted training for your employees, you can contact DCDM Research at [email protected]

Recognising Loyal Customers

Not all customers have the same experience. But the question is: Are your best customers treated the best?

Mystery shopping isn’t only about identifying unhappy customers or catching problems. It’s also about understanding whether your loyal customers are being recognised and valued?

Businesses often serve different customer profiles, such as loyal, VIP, and premium clients. These customers usually expect a higher level of attention, consistency, and care. And mystery shopping helps assess whether that experience is truly being delivered at every touchpoint.
