Adding Merchandising Assignments To Your Mystery Shopping Work

Hi All,

What's the most overlooked way to make money mystery shopping? Combining it with merchandising for a dual, home-based career. The more sporadic nature of mystery shopping can be reeled in by also doing merchandising. Merchandising is the "steady Eddie" to mystery shopping.

In case you didn't know, merchandising is The Perfect Work-At-Home Job, Part II! As I defined it in my book The Quick And Easy Guide To Making Money As A Merchandiser, "merchandising is the many different activities one does to support the movement out of a retailer's door" (no shoplifting is not merchandising).

Merchandisers do more physical, but generally not very hard work to set up signage and promotional displays, move and rearrange products on a store's shelves to conform to a retailer's strategy, inventory counts, making sure the right product is in the right place, in the right amounts at the right time and having coupons or other informational material on hand at the point of purchase.

Merchandisers can work by assignment like mystery shoppers do, or they may work hourly on a part-time or full-time basis. And doing mystery shopping assignments does not generally interfere with merchandising, and doing them together in the same geographic area can make both kinds of work much more worth your time than if they were done separately.
