Mystery Shopping, although fun and relatively simple, is very SERIOUS BUSINESS. Many businesses (anywhere from a multi-billion dollar company to small family owned businesses), recruit the services of Mystery Shopping companies.

The information you gather while on an assignment is used by these companies to make important management decisions. Therefore, an assignment that you agree to take must be done within the allowable time frame.

The information you gather and the reports you fill out must be specific, precise, complete and unbiased. The reports must also be returned no later than 48 hours after you have completed a shop. Some companies require them within 24 hours.
