Why should you become a mystery shopper in Northern Ireland? 

Get paid to shop 

Who doesn’t love Shopping? Whether you’re treating yourself to some new clothes or a gadget, half the fun is seeing what’s on offer online or in the Shops. 

Of course, brands want people to have fun Shopping. But they also want to make Shopping – and finding exactly what you want – simple. And the purchasing process needs to be just as straightforward. If people hit snags anywhere in the Shopper journey, they’re less likely to take the final step of buying something. 

That’s what Mystery Shoppers like you do: help discover issues with the customer experience, so brands can fix them. 

The retail therapy is just a bonus for you. 

Flexible schedules 

One of the best things about Mystery Shopping is the flexibility it gives you. 

You can fit tasks around a full-time job, childcare responsibilities or your hobbies. When you’re a Mystery Shopper, you can have much more time to yourself, doing the things you enjoy. 

Plus, there are always plenty of online Mystery Shopping tasks available, so you can earn money from the comfort of your own home. 

Help businesses be better 

Missing items when you order Shopping online. A food delivery that shows up cold on your doorstep. Difficulty returning an item. 

Nobody likes a disappointing customer experience. 

It makes people less likely to Shop with a brand in future, costing businesses money and reputational damage. For customers, it causes inconvenience and annoyance. 

But as a Mystery Shopper, you’re in a position to help businesses do better. You’ll help to identify issues or parts of the customer journey that aren’t working as they should, improving the customer experience for everyone. 

What qualifications do you need to be a mystery shopper? 

You don’t need any qualifications at all to be a Mystery Shopper. What you do need are good English language skills, basic digital skills and a smartphone. 

Other than that, there are a few characteristics that’ll make you an effective secret Shopper: 

• Ability to follow instructions: the brands working with us often want to examine particular parts of the customer experience in a specific way, so you need to carefully follow the instructions they give you 
• An eye for detail: the more you can remember from your assignment, the better the insight you can give to brands 
• Reliability: as well as supplying honest and accurate information, we’ll need you to regularly check your emails, in case we need to check details from your tasks 
• Fair writing skills: you must be able to describe the customer experience
