There are many benefits of mystery shopping and one of the major reasons that people start doing mystery shopping is because of the fabulous places they can eat, shop, and visit without having to pay. There is a great versatility to the types of mystery shopping jobs you can get which is the other advantage, and for those that are looking for something fun and always interesting, mystery shopping is perfect.
Mystery shoppers are also called secret shoppers and most of the large mystery shopping companies will pay a very tidy sum of money for secret shoppers to rate and provide feedback on their clients’ stores, companies, products, staff members etc. Another advantage of secret shopping is that it is totally international, and you can get assignments from online mystery shopping companies. Aside from the good payments you can also receive free products or bonuses, and you can eventually even start your own mystery shopping company after working in the business for a number of years. A long time mystery shopper gave the following account of her career:
“I was first asked to mystery shop at a supermarket which was fun and I got to keep all of the products I was asked to purchase. The next assignment took me to a number of pubs in my area where I had to order a drink and a meal. I particularly enjoyed secret shopping for a pharmaceutical chain where I had to test their make-up counter. I received some excellent advice from the girl working there about my skin type and of course got to keep all of the make-up and free testers, which I am still using. I really enjoy this work as it is fun and I get paid which is even better.”
