Mystery Shopping, Merchandising etc Companies

List of companies below. Please note I haven't personally checked out every single company on the list or am aware of what work they offer. The offer all or some of the following:

Mystery shopping - following a set brief and reporting on service recieved in shops, eating places, leisure services and telephone helplines.

Merchandising - going into a store on behalf of a manufacturer with the aim of promotion their product. You might have to increase shelf space, set up secondary displays, add point of sale material or set up promotional stands.

Auditing - going into a store on behalf of the manufacturer and reporting what is there. Typical things to find out are stock levels, number of facings for each product, shelf measurements and/or floor space.

Market Research - speaking with members of the public and asking their opinions on various things. Sometimes it's standing in the street, or it could be knocking on doors.

Demonstrating - we've all seen them! People who give away free samples in shops or show you how products work.

You may get regular merchandising, but usually work is allocated on an ad-hoc basis. Don't rely on ongoing employment, but if you are registered with enough companies, you can usually get enough to keep you busy.

Companies allocate by various different methods and like results in different ways too. Give different companies try, and you'll soon find out which ones you like working for.

Lastly don't ask me questions like "who mystery shops Top Shop?", "how much do Retail Eyes pay?", etc. I'm bound by confidentiality and companies take a very dim view of you mentioning their clients or fees in public.
Here I go again on my own....
