Announcing the New Natural Business Secret Shopper Award

For nigh on a decade, New Natural Business has been on the hunt for the very best in health food retailing in our regular Secret Shopper feature.

When the pandemic struck, New Natural Business embarked on some serious training articles on how to set up and run a successful online store in tandem with a physical shop. At the same time, we focused on this aspect of retailing for our hugely successful Secret Shopper series.

Before the pandemic, those stores with highest marks were eligible for an award in conjunction with the Health Food Institute. Post-pandemic, there has been no opportunity to continue this award.

Therefore, we're reinstating it with an annual award for the best use of an online store and social media in support of a physical shop or shops. The first winner will be announced in the Spring 2025 issue of New Natural Business.
