Most legitimate mystery shopping companies require you to travel to stores, restaurants, and other businesses to act as a typical customer and report your experiences. Those that will let you “shop” strictly by telephone or online are noted.
To be an effective shopper, you must be detailed, organized, and in most cases, ready to provide a complete written report of your experiences at the business that you shop.
