Hello Eric,
I just emailed you with an explanation of what happened in regards to the video shops you applied for, and why you were not assigned those shops. I believe Michella also responded to you earlier today as well. I really hope the email answers your questions, and clarifies our process of selection. I wish that we could assign shops to the first video shopper that emailed us! Would make my job so much easier. But, we offer our clients the chance to specify a shopper profile, and we have to find a shopper that fits the full profile they request...which in this case, was a female. Plus, we have a budget...and the closer a video shopper is to the route, the better. Or, if they are driving through the route to get to another one - the best!
We receive multiple emails from video shoppers, and in different ways! Some email us directly, some send messages through this forum, we get emails through our website, responses from ads elsewhere, etc. We are in the process of consolidating our video shopper profiles and emails so we can keep track of who is available where, but it is a process and will take some time. Also, we are working on a way to contact our registered video shoppers with monthly updates of what routes we need video shoppers for and the profiles we need - but for now, we're taking it one route at a time, one video shopper at a time.
Respectfully,
