FAQs

What are the advantages of conducting exit surveys?

Exit surveys deliver a direct physical/store experience and real-time feedback. Surveying customers just as they exit means that all the experiences they have had at your store or business are fresh in their mind. Exit surveys enable people to share store or ‘in aisle’ experiences at the most opportune time and often they provide honest, valuable feedback to inform your business/products and services.

How do exit interviews overcome recall bias?

Often market research projects ask consumers to recall past behaviours and the accuracy of this information can be uncertain and varied. Exit interviews avoid that potential recall bias and ensure that behaviours can be accurately reported in the moment.

Why are exit surveys popular in retail?

Exit surveys or intercept surveys are popular with retail stores because definitive exit survey questions can be asked. Retailers can ask customers questions about the store experience, customer satisfaction levels, products and ranges, and pricing.

How long can an exit/in-store intercept last?

Exit interviews and in-store intercepts are rarely pre-recruited and as such tend to be completed in around 10 to 15 minutes or less. Shorter interviews are recommended to ensure high numbers of respondents are willing to take part. More thorough in-store interviews can be pre-recruited and if this is the case then they can sometimes last up to an hour in length (e.g. when undertaking an accompanied shop).  

Do you have to incentivise an exit interview/in-store intercept? 

These types of interviews are rarely incentivised with consumers simply asked if they are willing to take part to offer feedback and/or to suggest improvements. 

 Do market researchers set quotas for exit interviews?

As exit interviews and in-store interviews are only able to ‘target’ the customers in the store, market researchers rarely set quotas on who can be interviewed, there may be some broad age and gender quotas so interviewers can target appropriately, but if there are any specific quotas required on a project then an exit or intercept may not be appropriate, or the locations used will need to be carefully considered.
