Mystery Shopping for Fun and Profit
How would you like to get paid to go shopping? That's
right! Get paid to shop for clothes, eat in restaurants,
watch movies, play golf, travel, and so on. You can have your cake and eat it too! Enjoy the best of
both worlds. Make money and have fun at the same time as
a mystery shopper. What is a Mystery Shopper? Sometimes known as a secret shopper, a mystery shopper
looks like any other customer but is working undercover
to perform market research or other tests on business
establishments. For example, a mystery shopper may check on the quality
of service and products at a particular fast food outlet. Were the staff friendly, courteous and helpful? Were the
washrooms clean? Was the food hot and tasty? Did the staff
attempt to upsell? Was the order filled accurately and
quickly? Why the Need for Mystery Shoppers? Companies are concerned about the quality of your
shopping experience. If there is a problem, they
would like to know about it so that they can take
corrective action and keep you as a customer. For this reason, businesses hire mystery shoppers
to check on their locations and report the results. As well, comparison shopping can reveal pricing and
service differences of the competition. Mystery shoppers sometimes uncover safety or security
concerns and other helpful information. How To Make Money as a Mystery Shopper You can make money as a freelance mystery shopper.
Contact market research companies and other businesses
to obtain clients. As an independent contractor, you will invoice clients
your fees for services rendered. As well, you will
be reimbursed for any direct expenses incurred (such
as the cost of store purchases). It is also possible to run your own market research
company and subcontract out the work. You would
need to get business clients who are willing to pay
for these secret shopping assignments. Then, find
suitable people who are willing to perform those
assignments for you. Variety is the Spice of Mystery Shopping Your assignments as a mystery shopper can be varied
and interesting. One time you may eat in a fast food restaurant. Another
time you may be asked to see how long it takes to get
service from a company by telephone. Perhaps you may be asked to shop at a website to
check out its user friendliness. Still another
assignment may require you to rate the helpfulness
of store staff. So, if you would like to have fun while making money,
consider becoming a mystery shopper. RESOURCE BOX: J. Stephen Pope, President of Pope Consulting Inc.,
