Where/How to Find the Company that Shops a Place...

My first suggestion would be to check all the job boards like Jobslinger and MSJobboard.com. While asking for the name of the MSC is verboten, you could ask if the client is still shopped. Clients drop out all the time so it would keep you from spinning your wheels.

And it doesn't help now obviously but when I add a company to my list I make a note beside it of any interesting shops they have, even if it's not something I can do now.

Wow. I had no clue you were so organized

I even went through my browser's history because it was only about 2 weeks ago... A baseball stadium... Ugh... I know I can't ask to directly connect the MSP to their client... Anyone know some good MSPs to check that might shop professional baseball stadiums or trampoline parks?
Check out the ISS platform, I've seen a baseball one on there. It may be regional though I didn't look closely because I am not interested.
That's the only place I have seen tramp shops also. I mean trampoline shops.

For the baseball one, check out Survey Scouts and Amusement Advantage as well.
Shopping across Indiana but mostly around Indianapolis.
I never saw the point in amusement advantage shops. Every time I looked at what they were offering it always seemed they wanted you to shovel out all this money for drink purchases with no reimbursement all for a free ticket to the amusement park.Sometimes they wanted 6 shops done for one visit.....like do you know how much amusement park souvenir bottles cost. I'm a roller coaster enthusiast so I was very excited when i found them but I ended up never doing a shop for them cause i never saw a shop that made really ANY sense. Sorry for the aside I just don't see amusement advantage talked about much and had to comment.
intellishop also does baseball and phantom shoppers. Dynamic Advantage and Intouch Insight for indoor trampoline park. I did not name the particular business so no ICA violations here.
Shopping Western NY, Northeast and Central PA, and parts of Ohio and West Virginia. Have car will travel anywhere if the monies right.
If you like minor league sports, check out iSS...I've done two for them...they may be regional.
Have not seen minor league sports for iSS....Intellishop does baseball but they ask you for a deposit (and I understand there are tons of questions on the report).
Survey Scouts are good....in certain cities they do MLB, NHL, NBA, and even NFL, but not in Chicago....I did talk to someone recently who did say they are looking to get into the area at some point.
Bare does Major League Soccer.
I'm looking for an MSC that does concerts in the Chicago area. I know A Closer Look has them at one venue and Intellishop every now and again has one. Service Scouts have them outside my area like the sports.

I remember when Intellishop had the Major League baseball games out a while back...I couldn't believe they wanted such a HUGE deposit from the shopper!!
I enjoyed the 2 minor league baseball games hubby & I got to go see from the 2 shops I did through the iSS platform...petro, do you have any Single A baseball teams in your area??? If so, keep looking!

We have several minor league teams in the area. I get on iSS all the time and never see any events on there. I'll keep looking though.
Intellishop still has MLB games here in Chicago....but not for the team I follow...and yes they still require the deposit.

Petro, maybe the minor league games with iSS are regional....without giving anything away, I know that in this area, they are for a certain division of certain minor league teams, so maybe this division isn't in your area.
Guysmom: Where are you at? And are your minor league teams newer or have they been established there for awhile?

I will keep an eye out on Intelli-Shop. I shop with them regularly. I felt that when I saw it, it was a different site but maybe that is why my browser history didn't show something I didn't recognize... It was a shop that did require a large deposit... And was in your area...
What is iSS?

iSecretShop...its a platform that some MSCs use for their shops....

I just got an offer for a trampolining shop this week, so they're around.
Service Scouts is good if they are in your area. I have done a bunch of shops in my area, many of them with a bonus. I totally understand the deposit for Intellishop...it is equivalent to two decently-priced tickets. They are trying to avoid people flaking and just going to the game. I had applied to a couple in my area but haven't got them
I did a shop for Service Scouts a year ago....problem is they are not in Chicago at this time. The nearest city they have shops is in Milwaukee and I generally go up there at the last minute and don't plan going up there.

Petro, I live in SC, and visited a Single A baseball team....maybe that particular league isn't in your area. Hope you find some!! No deposits needed with the minor league games! The pay is a bit on the low side for the amount of narrative needed, (but doable if you enjoy baseball, which hubby & I do), but the reimbursements covered the tickets, concessions and parking, so that was nice! Plus, hubby loves seeing a certain opposing team when they come to visit, so it's worth it to both of us.
Oh, this particular minor league team has been here close to 10 years....they came in when a Double AA team left the area.

Jobslinger in my area has trampoline etc. shops plus lots of amusement parks. ISS has MLB - not a lot of dates, but those it does have offer a small fee and a big reimbursement - $80 or $90.
Shopping SoCal and Maui.
