Suppose it depends on your radius: on how much work you have. There are a lot of clients which have gone runaway naming a few include MF stations, underground sarnie's, GFK Banks and supermarkets, RA petrol client (formerly react) and many leaving Gap. The days when I could get 10 visits in one day in 1 town have long gone.

To be honest I have had more success picking up a whole days worth of visits in one place than I did last year, I've been to one town twice already and cleared up between 8 and 10 jobs each time, its like no one want to go there, same with a couple of towns North of here, there is always something to pick up.

I'm away doing a Tern camping trip at the weekend so I've been contacting allocators checking if anything needs doing around that area, I've more than paid for the trip and I won't be working that hard.

I've had to travel to pick up work this month; work in my local town has pretty much dried up. That said, I've picked up 8 jobs today, and turned down another 3, had a 93 mile round trip but, in one day, I've met my weekly target

I've been up and down sometimes theres loads n others theres only one or two visits but I know what your saying as I used to be able to arrange several visits easily now it can be few and far between.

Nice one . My DS pay statement had 4 numbers on it but, sadly, a decimal place after the first two :cool:

If anyone sees any hotels or pubs going down south (London/ hertfordshire/ sussex), I'd be grateful for a PM. Trying to offset a visit to the in-laws! I signed up with one co specifically because they do the tied houses for Himself's fave brewery down there.

Offset a visit to the in-laws? You should feel privelaged to visit them at any given opportunity!

Hi.
I have just started mystery shopping and I was wondering if there were any companies that were better than others? Any help you could offer would be great thanks.

It's a matter of opinion and depends a lot on your location.

To save you wading through the first page you may find that these 4 would be good to start off with.

GFK, ABAi, ESA and TNS

just done a clothes shop and when I asked if I could try the garment on the staff member replied 'yeah go for it' without looking at me or showing me where the changing room was.
