Check your Prize-Reveal shop materials as soon as they arrive!

by Confero Inc.

If you accept a shop assignment that requires you to receive shop materials FedEx, be sure to open the package when it arrives and take a quick inventory of the contents. Usually, if you are receiving shop materials then you are conducting an instant prize reveal mystery shop. These items will be included in most prize packages:

Prize Confirmation Form:* This is a document that the shopper presents to the manager to be signed after the completed shop visit. This document details the success criteria and the prize distribution for the store’s employees. Some forms require listing the first and last names of the manager and the order taker. Other forms require the first and last names of ALL employees on duty. The Client Required Guidelines document will specify which names are required from the manager.

Congratulations Certificate: This is a document stores receive if they have met the success criteria during the shop. The shopper can leave this with the manager on duty for him or her to fill out.

Oops! Card: This is usually a 4X6 index card like document, but sizes vary depending on the client. This document is given to the manager on duty if a prize-reveal shop is unsuccessful.

Prizes: The type of prize and the amount of prizes sent for each shop vary depending on the client. Sometimes prizes of multiple denominations are sent. The Client Required Guidelines document will identify who is to receive which prize for a successful shop.

Confero Return Packing Invoice: This is a document on a half-sheet of paper with details about returning unused prizes. Be sure to completely fill out the form, as this will ensure that the unused prizes get credited to your shop!

Return envelope with a FedEx pre-printed label on the front: Our fulfillment department has already placed the return label on the envelope that you are to use to return any unused prizes after the shop. The label is already pre-printed with Confero’s address; just fill out the Return Packing Invoice and place the invoice and prizes in the return envelope and seal!

Refer a Friend and You Could Win $50! List updated October 30, 2009

by Confero Inc.

Updated 10/30/09.
We are pleased to announce our newest Shopper Hot Spots areas.

These are areas in which we need to recruit additional mystery shoppers for a variety of reasons:

We need shoppers who live near the locations being shopped, especially in this time of high gas prices!
Shoppers are rotated so several shoppers are needed in each location being shopped, even in small-town markets!
We may have new programs starting in an area.

Current Hot Spots….

These are the cities in which we need shoppers NOW and we would appreciate your referrals. At the end of each month, we will draw the name of one lucky referrer who will receive a $50 bonus from Confero (to qualify, your referred friend must have successfully completed a mystery shop).

We will announce the winners here each month (in such a way that identities are kept secret!)

FAQ: How are shop assignments made?

by Confero Inc.

Our team of schedulers uses a sophisticated information system and mapping software to identify Confero shoppers who live or work near an available assignment location. If your name is identified by this search, we will send you a shop posting via email to determine whether an assignment at a specific business location interests you. The shop posting will contain detailed information about how long the assignment will take to complete, when we need you to visit the specific location, and the compensation we offer for the assignment. The shop posting may also list specific instructions for applying for the shop. The posting may ask you to confirm certain information when you apply. Make sure you read the posting closely to make sure you understand the requirements. Once you have read the shop posting, you may access the job board and apply for shops after logging in.

Our scheduling team begins assigning shoppers about 24 to 48 hours after the shop posting was sent out to potential shoppers. Our schedulers look at each shop location to determine the shopper that is the best match for the assignment. There are a variety of factors that go into determining which shopper receives the assignment. Some of these factors include:

Type of shop- some shoppers may have more experience with a particular type of shop than other shoppers
Dependability- the scheduler is always trying to meet a deadline and needs to know that the shopper assigned will complete the shop as scheduled.
Shop rating- it is no secret that shoppers with all 9s and 10s are hard to overlook on the job board. Make sure you are proofreading your reports before you submit them on Confero Compass.

New Project Self-Assign Shopper Test

by Confero Inc.

Be on the lookout for new shops on our job board! Today we are releasing a new set of shops as self-assign only. These shops are for a new program that requires shoppers to attempt to purchase a pack of cigarettes using a competitor’s coupon. These are easy shops with a short, concise survey.

Qualifications for this program:

Shopper must have a verified Social Security Number in our system. Please visit your Shopper Profile to confirm.
Shopper must have a rating of 7 or higher.
Shopper must read the shopper guidelines and pass the self-assign shopper test.
You do not have to be a smoker to participate in this project – your final purchase will NOT include cigarettes

This project is one-time only and must be completed within only a few days. Passing the test is required for all shoppers interested in these shops. We need shoppers who are self-sufficient; shoppers who read the guidelines and follow them without issue. We need shoppers who are dependable and will complete the shop on time and at the correct location. We need shoppers who will submit their validation and online survey without reminders.
