Welcome to the Mystery Shopping Learning Center Blog

On many mystery shopping registration sites, there is an area to allow or block email notifications for mystery shops in your area.  Do you choose to allow emails or do you block them? Have you checked your profiles with mystery shopping companies lately?

We are always curious to learn from our mystery shoppers – why do you prefer/not prefer to receive email notifications? Do you realize that email notifications are disabled on your profiles if this is the case? Some shoppers, most notably those with AOL email addresses, may have this option blocked and not even realize it.

Unless you are checking job boards for all of the mystery shopping companies you are registered with, you may be missing out on shopping opportunities. Having the option to receive email notifications when shops are available near you is the quickest way to find new shops. Using Jobslinger or checking job boards is also helpful, but not all shops are posted on either.

I’d love to hear your thoughts about why you prefer not to receive email notifications. If you have a different approach to finding shops, please feel free to share! We love to hear from shoppers!

Until next time…happy shopping!
