Advertisement Checking At Theaters?

I just requested an advertisement check at a theater near me via Market Force. Are they easy to do? How do they typically work? What should I be prepared for IF they give me the job? Thanks for your help.

More About Trailer Checks and Movie Theater Mystery Shopping

You will have to report on ads in the lobby, infront of the auditorium and onscreen, before the trailers. That depends on the type of theatre check. If this is your first time, someone may call you for instructions.

If it's for the assignments starting with the letter "S" than they are fairly easy. You just need to jot down the ads they play prior to the movie. BUT...their ad checks beginning with the letter "N" seem to be a super pain in the ---. They wants pics of everything, including, the manager's name tag. Yes, imagine asking a female manager to let you photograph her chest mounted name tag. But this nonsense comes from the client, not from Certified.
And they still want the report with the manager signature to be scanned. Surprised they don't want this report notarized.

And this ad shop is from CFA? I don't remember doing anything like that and I thought I have done all their shops. Must have stayed away from them like I have from standee, after doing one.

I have not seen this question discussed. Please forgive me if it's been asked and answered. I always see these shops offered at my local theatre and have never done any. They sit forever on the boards. I am just wondering if MF ever accepts you back after having deactivated you for no apparent reason if you do a few of the theatre shops for them when they are seemingly desperate. I know their different divisions of MF - just wondering. Thanks in advance!

Yes, I was deactivated from their theater portal over 7 years ago without reason. (Well, they gave me a reason, but it was a total lie they made up). I believe they just wanted new blood and intentionally removed folks after they were successfully working for them for a couple years. This happened to me back in 2007 and I recently attempted to work for them again and was reactivated immediately, no questions asked. I will never get cozy with this company again though or go out of my way for them considering how they treated me back in 07. I still have a requested theater check pending from Thursday that is due on Tuesday. They are taking forever to simply grant me the cheap $8 assignment. It's for a theater only 1 mile away, so I put in a request to do it for them. If Monday evening comes and they still haven't given it to me, I will just let it be. They seem very unprofessional and disorganized as usual.

Yes, risinghorizon.....the advertisement checks are from CFA

Thanks, I guess I didn't word by question clearly. I was just wondering if the mystery shopping side of MF accepts you back if you do the CFA side of MF theatre checks when they are desperate.

All I can tell you is that Market Force did NOT deactivate me when CFA did. They don't exactly work hand in hand.

Well, both actually deactivated me but they both claimed I was the one who asked to be deactivated. I am still working for both but obviously they work separately because MFI can process my DD but CFA claimed they could not and still sends me a check.
