Mystery Shopping

A "Mystery Shopper" or "Secret Shopper" is someone who is hired by an establishment to pose as a customer and secretly report back to the owner how the service was, or other details that are requested. The person is then paid for the assignment and usually gets reimbursed for their purchase, meal or other things. Some companies pay as much as $60 per hour for your service and in many cases you can keep the goods, eat at restaurants, etc absolutely Free of charge.

Why would an establishment pay for such a service? Because as a mystery shopper you can provide a fair, unbiased opinion regarding customer service, purchase process, etc. Based on your opinion, these services can then be improved resulting in more satisfied customers and potential new ones. Companies understand a small investment in a mystery shopper can have many financial long term benefits.

Getting paid to shop is becoming very popular with Stay at Home Moms, and College Students looking for a way to make some money, as well as enjoy a day out.
