Nothing new under the sun?

If you always do what you always did,

you will always get what you always got.

- Albert Einstein

Some people say that nothing new happens in mystery shopping -- or even, that nothing new can happen in mystery shopping.  We think they're wrong, and we mean to prove it.

Welcome to the Presto Insta-Shoppers blog.  This blog is the creation of SurfMerchants, a software company located in Boston -- the makers of SASSIE and the new Presto Insta-Shops.  We've been creating mystery shopping software for 15 years now, and we see potential for innovation that will benefit everyone in the industry.

Our success depends on the partnership of shoppers, mystery shopping companies, and technology providers.  That's why we created Presto Insta-Shops: to support that partnership with better technology tools.  Our goal is to make mystery shopping easier and enhance shoppers' potential to do more shops in less time with less effort.

The articles on this blog are written by members of the SurfMerchants staff, and include topics such as:

• How-to articles
• Changes and new features in Presto
• Developments and trends in mystery shopping

...and a few otters may sneak in, too.  Otters are like that.  It's part of the reason why we like them.

So stay tuned!  We've got lots of great content coming your way!
