Market Force - Mystery Shopping and Merchandising

Market Force International

Market Force International offers a variety of assignments in merchandising and mystery shopping.

Merchandising is simply placing the items on the shelf in the manner prescribed by the company. (Yeah, I know. I thought store employees were responsible for that too! Lol.) It can be on a assignment by assignment basis or you can be assigned a weekly or biweekly assignment.

Mystery shopping is covertly checking out the business for cleanliness, customer service, etc.

This company has three separate portals and you will have to apply for each one individually.

The beauty of this type of work is that the hours are really flexible and self-directed. As long as you get the work done before the deadline has passed, you're golden.

DSG - Mystery Shopping

DSG Associates Inc.

This is a mystery shopping company I just found but it is getting rave reviews. Mystery shoppers are people who basically get paid to shop. Some companies reimburse you for any expenses that you incur. Others reimburse you and pay you extra for the work involved.

Word of advice: Be sure you have the time, resources, and inclination you complete an assignment before you accept it. The worst thing you can get in this field is a bad reputation for not completing assignments that you volunteered to complete.

Also, you should never have to pay to be a mystery shopper. A few companies do offer training and certification but it is not really necessary to begin your career as a mystery shopper.

Many people do mystery shopping as a full time career while others do it just to get a few things free, a hobby, or extra income. It is always up to you to determine just how much work you want to do. Just always be organized and disciplined to complete the assignments and you will do fine.
