Mystery Shopping

I came across this concept recently while browsing through some magazines. Its seemed like an interesting concept and then I had to do what I do the most browze browze and more browze and find out all the information.

It is still in its nacent stage in India, whereas abroad it is a much wider concept and a lot of companies are looking out for people.

This is my shortlisted best ( probably the only ones too I found online ) mystery shopper companies:

1. Bare Associates
2. Grass Roots India
3. Kaiz Consult
4. AQ International
5. Shop Max
6. International Service Check

I have tried all of them and only Bare Associate will reflect jobs in their profile. Rest none of them will show any jobs at all . I even mailed a few of them asking if there are any jobs in their profile but no response.

So if you want to try a bit of mystery shopping in India then register with Bare initially.

The money is peanuts , Do not do it for cash, do it for the experience and the fun of it . As being upright and on a look out all the time with eyes wide open , you wont even be able to enjoy the free meal ! .

Mystery Shopper pay you INR 250 - INR 500 . That will include travel allowence, purchase and for any reason you have to redo the shop , you will not be paid extra travel allowence either and over and above you will be spending 1 hour online atleast filling up the questionaaire.

If you are one of those who have a job and feel you are not paid well - do give mystery shopping a shot , you will end up loving your job !

Its is a good experience to try and enjoy. The more shops you perform the more comfortable you will get with trying to observe 10 things and still enjoying the free meal and in some time you will be on auto pilot.

I will try to keep updating the list, if I read anything more. Please share if you are aware of more companies in India.

Happy Shopping !! Just Shopping ... No Mystery .
