As some of you know I have been a Mystery Shopper for over 9 years now. Another form of working is doing Merchandising, Demos, etc. What is Merchandising? It’s actually going into a store for the manufacture er and doing things like restocking, repricing, seeing if you need to re-order, or just setting up a new display. Demos are similar. You have a new product that the company wants to promote. You set up a little table inside the store and hand out samples. Another form is Theater Checks. These I liked the most. You go into a movie and note how many ppl come in to watch. Sounds fun doesn’t it? I’ve done both and some I enjoyed and others I didn’t it really depends on your personality. However, it is just another way to make a little extra and we all need that. Now to the fun part! Here are a few Merchandising and Demo companies:
- Market Force Information (many opportunities. just signed up: http://www.marketforceinfo.com/for_mystery_shoppers/application.aspx

Thank you for this information! I've been doing mystery shopping for almost 13 years and love it! I started doing this when I was pregnant with my son so I could make some money while I was out on maternity leave. My first assignment was counting movie patrons and it was a lot of fun! I'm always looking for different companies as I live in a resort area that doesn't have a lot of stores, etc. to check–I've started going to bigger cities with my son and am now looking to expand my shopping.
I've often wondered about mystery shopping. Thanks for the info!
Oh dear, misread. Not mystery shopping, huh? I'd be too shy to do very well handing out samples and stuff…
Hi Kassie,

I have been with marketforce and certified for almost 2 years.
I was telling your husband (my boss) about this to tell you about. I like working for them.
I think this is fabulous that you have posted this! It's so amazing the hidden job opportunities there are out there! Which one was your favorite?
thanks for the info. I've done it sporadically, but I'd always wanted to do more!
