HOW TO BEAT THE CRUNCH AND GET PAID FOR SHOPPING
01 May 2009
The credit crunch may be taking the fun out of shopping – but now there’s a way to shop at premium brand stores - and get paid for it.
The market-leading shopping research company, Oxford-based, Retail Active is looking for people to become Mystery Shoppers.
Mystery Shopping is popular with retailers and businesses seeking to improve their services. It is the ideal opportunity for people who love shopping to take on paid assignments as incognito customers.
Retail Active director, Julian Chamberlain said: “Just imagine – you can have a day out at the shops or at top restaurants – and actually get paid for it.
“We are looking for honest, reliable people who will act like regular shoppers – but will assess a store or a company’s performance and then produce a report.
“There’s nothing cloak and dagger about it. You just shop without drawing attention to yourself and make a discreet record of the way you were treated and how the organisation presented itself.
“You will be well paid for doing what you love most – whether it is shopping, eating out or visiting nightclubs.
“How much you get paid depends on the nature of the assignment. All you need is access to the internet, an active email address and a printer to print your findings.”
Mystery Shopping is a marketing tool used by leading companies to measure the quality of goods and services they provide. Mystery shoppers are sent to act as typical customers, interact with the company and then report back.
It gives management a way to assess quality and performance.
Julian Chamberlain said: “It is not a full time job – but it is an excellent way to supplement income and enjoy the experience of shopping at the same time.
“Our clients include many prestigious household names – so you will get the golden opportunity for some superior shopping expeditions.
“You will also be helping to improve future services for your fellow consumers and use your experience to keep retailers on their toes.”
Retail Active is one of the most highly regarded shopping research companies in the country. Every member of the shopping team is fully trained and accredited by the Mystery Shoppers Academy of Great Britain.
Julian added:”If you are over 18, conscientious, reliable, objective, able to meet deadlines and fill out forms accurately, you could have great future as a “professional” shopper.
