Product Tester and Mystery Shopper

Have you been a product tester or mystery shopper at some point? I am receiving a lot of emails about becoming a mystery shopper or product tester. I did register in some of them but never heard back, not even once. I was thinking that I might not be lucky to be selected but the other side of my head is telling me that this is another tactic of getting my personal information that will then be used to contact and offer me different products or services.

I've looked up for real people who've been offered to be a mystery shopper or product tester which I found few and it's very interesting that they've actually done it. The first video is of Claire who's been given a £100 Boots gift card to spend and buy whatever she likes.

Part of this mystery shopping idea is for Claire to say something about Boots store layout, the over all quality of the product and service, value for money as well as the staff friendliness.

            

Claire seems to enjoy all her stuff from Boots, who wouldn't if it's for free!!! How easy it is to spend £100 on something that you like and just say few words about your experience? I want to be a Boots mystery shopper so I've looked up on how to do it and I've found this link Product Testing UK just after the video description uploaded in YouTube.

Actually the website is more about product testing, all you need to do is to select a product that you want to test and keep, then sign up. Below are the examples that you could test and keep. 


You need to sign after up by providing your details like name, email and phone number. The last bit is a bit tricky because you'll be asked to answer around 15 to 20 survey questions before you can actually get your chance of getting the product for testing. 

There is another website which is the UK Mystery Shopper with similar approach as Product Testing UK, but this time you have to select the shop that you're interested to be a mystery shopper. Some of the shops are shown in the photo below.


There's no harm in trying, there are people who've done it and might be worth doing if you fancy a £100 free gift card or £100 worth of voucher. Tell us your experience and you can always share this blog with your friends.
