For Shoppers
Make a Difference: Become a Mystery Shopper (Secret Shopper) or Merchandiser!
Mystery Shopping, which is also referred to as Secret Shopping, is an information-gathering service that allows companies to gather first-hand information about their business. Merchandising jobs involve light, hands-on work with the products stores sell. We are constantly looking for observant, conscientious people with strong attention to detail to conduct our mystery shopping, secret shopping or merchandising jobs in well-known stores, restaurants, theatres and banks in your community. By becoming a secret shopper, you will conduct important studies, such as operational evaluations, theatre checks and retail audits that allow our clients to improve their on-site experience for their customers. As a member of our network, you can also sign up for light merchandising assignments which include checking the placement of products on the shelf, stocking products and setting up promotional displays. You’re in control. You pick the mystery shopping, secret shopping or merchandising jobs that you want!
How Mystery Shopping and Merchandising Work
Our mystery shoppers, or secret shoppers, are independent contractors who typically enter our clients’ locations anonymously, conduct themselves normally inside the location, evaluate a variety of criteria on their experience and then fill out a web-based survey which is reviewed and passed on to our client. For merchandising assignments, they enter a client’s locations on a revealed basis, typically with a letter of authorization from our client. They complete their assignment on-site and then file a brief online report. Our clients include large brands in your area, many of which you may visit on a regular basis already. Payment for the assignment (including any purchase reimbursement from our client) will vary depending on the complexity of the work, but as an independent contractor, you can always accept or decline any assignment.
