New to Mystery Shopping! Looking for some tips and tricks smiling smiley

Hi everyone! I am very new to mystery shopping, but have completed 5 shops for 3 different MSC's to date. A few were much easier than others, but I am definitely looking forward to more!

In the past, I have worked for several retail companies that are mystery shopped, and being in management positions, I have learned a good deal about "the other side of the shop".

I am very detail oriented, and I think this is the perfect job for me, but I am DEFINITELY looking for some awesome tips and tricks from some more veteran shoppers. So far the shops I have done have consisted of 1 Bank, 1 fast food restaurant (2 different locations), and 1 spa chain (2 different locations). All in all, they were pretty simple and straight forward, and I am sure it will get easier as I go!

I'd love to know what some of your favorite MSC's are! Also, there is a bank in my area that frequently has very well paying (up to $75, depending on the scenario) video jobs. I'd love to chat with anyone who has video shopping experience, and input on equipment likes/dislikes/recommendations.

Have a great one!

Welcome to the forum!

I think you will find the forum's "Official List of Mystery Shopping Companies" at the bottom of each forum page useful for its links to discussions about the various companies as well as the links to where to register with the various companies.

The forum has a "Search" feature and if you put in 'Video' it will lead you to many discussions of video shops.

Basic information and tips are in the 'sticky' threads stuck at the top of the New Mystery Shopper section of the forum.
Well, if you are going to buy equipment, I wouldn't buy a PV-500 Lite 3 (or any other version). Plus, you would need to upgrade the camera - like I did. I would buy a PV-500 EV02. I have had nothing but issues and problems with my Lite 3. It's awful! It's simple to operate, but very unreliable. It has cost me money in lost shops!
