Mystery Shopping in Canada

A lot of consumers interested in taking online surveys are also interested in Mystery Shopping.

If you're not familiar with the concept, basically mystery shopping is when people pose as ordinary consumers in a retail outlet or other business location, to gather information about a business or employee.

An example assignment would be that you would be sent to your local Safeway, you would ask for help from an employee, find products and purchase them, and evaluate the customer service you experienced along the way and would note this in a report that you would send to the market research firm who hired you for the assignment.

There are a lot of mystery shopping scams out there, perhaps even moreso than online surveys. To find legitimate contract work as a mystery shopper is difficult. However, here is a list of websites we have found to be legitimate sources of mystery shopping work in Canada.

This page is for information purposes only - we do not recommend one company over another, and are just trying to prove, that just like online surveys companies there are mystery shopping scam websites, but there are also legitimate research companies who DO infact conduct this type of research.
