Who was your first?

My very first MSC was Strategic Evaluations and then Premier Service. They are both based in Canada. Unfortunately, I have not been very active with them because things have changed but my loyalty stays with them. I don't remember my last sign up but I had been very picky with shops and I have not been signing up with new MSC.

If I recall, ShopNChek eventually became Marketforce

Her Serene Majesty, Cettie - Goat Queen of Zoltar, Sublime Empress of Her Caprine Domain

Proreview in 2001. Shopnchek and Maritz the same year, followed by many more. I remember Proreview and Maritz mailed me paper forms that I filled out and sent back in.

some of you get around

Satisfaction Services was my first sign up in 2012, and Blink Research was my last.

Second-to-None first; Blink Research last.

IntelliShop first, and the most recent was probably Custom Risk Solutions.

1999 Sights on Service. I think that may be the same company.

Most recent. That's a secret. but I was referred by some nice people here on the forum.

BestMark, and I'm not signed up with any others. I do MSing mainly for restaurant reimbursement. I love my FT job and it pays well, so I don't really feel the need to MS much. It's more of a hobby for me.

Consumer Impressions was first. (I don't shop for them anymore)
Blink was the latest (doubt I'll ever have any shops with them, but you never know)
I shop for five companies consistently and am signed up with probably 40 right now.

Best Mark was the first I signed up with and Blink is the most recent. I haven't done any shops for them yet. I am signed up with about fifteen companies but most of my shops are through Market Force and Customer Impact.

I don't remember. I know that I signed up with several companies at once. My first shops were a blurry flurry of newness. The most recent was... the one with generous bonuses and wonderful compliments? I need to add more companies. I hope to find shops that are conveniently located on the way to and from the wilderness. This is the year for camping, hiking, and fishing. I can't be slowed down by numerous shops, but I am willing to do a few that are truly quick and convenient.

Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished. - Lao-Tzu

First company I signed up with was About Face...first shop I did was for Bestmark for the big box Electronic Store.

My most recent company? Primo Solutions (thanks to Annika's Mystery Shopping page I've signed up for a number of companies I've missed) and the last shop I did was for Alta 360 (Storage Unit shop).

I am signed up with probably close to 200 companies at the moment and in any one month I may do shops for 10 of them at the most.

Silver certified (since 2009) and willing to do shops all around the greater Chicago, NW Indiana, and Southern Wisconsin areas (including airports!.

My very first one was so long ago, I could only tell you it was for Benetton and I found it very uncomfortable to do. Early 90s?

I didn't do another one until maybe 5, 6 years ago. The first IIRC was with something like NWLPC? I guess I messed up the form somehow and some gruff man read me the Riot Act. I vowed never to do another. Which lasted a few months. I signed with a bunch, as one does, but never shopped again with NWLPC.

I believe the last one I signed up for was Secret Shopper.

What is Annika's Mystery Shopping page?

Its a listing with links to various MSCs throughout the world.

it was 2000, nad I was living up in the mtns at the time. It's a local chain FF restaurant here in Colorado. Then they hired a co to do it for them, and I was w/them for years. I don't think they MS anymore.. it's ALWAYS perfect w/that chain.

My first was Jerry. It lasted 3 months and then he broke up with me. I was crying and my brother laughed at me. He said, "Crying? Over a guy? Get over it!" I did but not before I told a few friends...and they spread it all over school that Jerry was a jerk!

My "other" first was Trendsource.

My first shop was with Service Sense...not sure if I actually signed up with them as it was a referral from a friend when they were desperate to schedule a local upscale ff shop. The 1st I actually signed up for myself was Retail Eyes (aka Shared Insight) . My last ...Mercantile.

My first was Jancyn. My most recent? Heck-- I don't know!

First - Marketforce
Last - cannot remember???

Good ol Bestmark.

Can't remember, Bestmark, NSS, About Face, Sinclair, Coyle...so many 1st.is a blurr, last Mercantile, Trend Source and Goodwin.

I signed up for Msing in 2010, but didnt complete my first one until 7 months ago with Goodwin. My last one was Maritz. Im and currently with 38 different ones.

I don't remember his name, but he was cute! (No, not really.... I mean, he was cute, but I do remember his name!

)

Ardent Services was my first, and I can't remember which was the last. Measure CP was the most recent company for which I've done a first job, but I think I've signed up with other MSCs since I first signed with Measure CP.

I learn something new every day, but not everyday!

My first was Coyle. I must have just nailed the writing sample.
