The benefits of being a Mystery Shopper
Being a Mystery Shopper offers a wide range of benefits, including:
Get paid to carry out everyday activities
No doubt every week you will do a food shop, put fuel in your car and grab lunch while out and about. Well, the best thing about Mystery Shopping is you can do all of this and earn money at the same time. All you have to do in return is fill out a questionnaire telling us what your experience was like.
Top up your annual income
We can all do with a bit of extra cash, especially with the rising living costs. Mystery Shopping allows you to earn an extra income on the side without taking too much time out of your day or going through laborious interviews to take on a second job. Think side hustle, but without the challenges that come with running your own business.
Complete assignments in your own time
Whether you work 9am-5pm, look after a family or are a student studying, you can complete as many or little mystery shops as you want at a time that suits you. Grab a coffee on the go in the morning, put fuel in your car at lunch, or bond with friends over chicken in the evening. No matter where or when, you design your own schedule.

In a mystery shopping report you can expect to answer questions about various aspects of your experience. These questions typically cover the quality of customer service, customer facilities, staff friendliness, helpfulness, and product knowledge. You will also be asked about the store’s cleanliness, organisation, and overall ambience. Specific questions might include how long you waited for assistance, whether employees greeted you promptly, and if they addressed your needs effectively.
