You take your family out to a fancy restaurant while carrying your designer handbag. The cost of the dinner and the bag is free. Well, free after the company that hired you to be a shadow shopper reimburses you.
Many companies hire shoppers to check on their staff. The company wants to find out if their employees are doing their job correctly. They need to know if the waitress is pleasant and responds quickly to the diners needs and if the chef cooks the same as for a regular customer as he does for the restaurant owner and management. That is why they hire these shoppers to do checks as a regular customer.
The company who owns the restaurant pays you to dine there and pays for your meal in return for your honest feedback on your experience.
Other service companies hire shoppers as well. Carpet cleaning companies reimburse you to get your house carpets cleaned. You get free pizza working as a shadow shopper for the pizza delivery companies. Who does not want free pizza?
Other ways to get your bills paid are by filling out surveys. The surveys are simple often comparing products or your dislikes and likes about a product. You can get your bills paid or get great gifts in return for participating in the surveys. The company is doing market research for their product and building up their customer profile.
You are paid for your time with gift cards to major retailers and grocery stores. Sometimes you can earn gas cards or electronics. Some companies give away free vacations. There are companies giving away free gym memberships and others who give you a years supply of pet food. All free just for filling out their surveys.
Filling out the surveys will take a bit of your time. The same is true for the any type of shadow shopper assignment as well. With the shopping job you will be required to fill out a report on your computer detailing your findings before you are reimbursed and paid for your time.
You will receive notification of any assignment available via email. You choose which jobs you want to do. The jobs pay from 10 dollars to 60 dollars or more. Companies reimburse you for purchases or any services you receive as well as cash for the report you turn in.
Restaurants, retail stores, gas stations, banks, fast food chains and hotels need the services of a shadow shopper to make sure their services meet quality standards. You are an independent contractor working for a shopping company that is hired by these businesses for your services.
There are many companies to apply to. The jobs can be found on the internet by doing a search for legitimate shopping jobs. Beware of scams. Never pay a fee to sign up and be wary of checks you receive before you do a job. These are often scams.
Sign up with several legitimate companies to get a variety of assignments. As a shadow shopper you can choose what type of shop you want to do. Some companies will provide training for their shoppers. The shopper assignments are not limited to the big city. There are big demands for shoppers in rural areas too.
