Does Marketforce have less clients than before?

The only shops available to me, for the next two years, in a 200 mile radius, are airport shops.
There used to be at least a few.

It must vary widely by region or city. In my area, they always have dozens of shops from which to choose, especially if you enjoy fast food and/or fast casual joints. Be sure that when you search you have the field set for all types of shops. It might be that you left your search default set to pull in only airports.

They also stratify offerings according to demographics and the number of shops you have completed and how happy they are with your performance. They apparently do a lot of psychographics with their databases.

This company sounds like they do more work trying to keep shoppers AWAY than trying to get shops done!!!

Not so.

MF uses, among other criteria, algorithms and unstated rotations. It's definitely not personal. Maybe you don't see shops that you saw last month. You may not see them for weeks, months, or longer. Inquiring can't hurt, but may not provide answers.

I would recommend trying other zip codes in your area. Often if I use the zip code for my town with a radius of 200 miles I'll get a miniscule amount of results, but using the zip code for a town a few miles over can get me 30-50+ results just in the local area...

Seems to me they have dropped some clients and picked up others.

Same amount of shops and clients in the northeast including a newly acquired national pizza chain and casual dining place named after a certain bird.

I just love doing assignments for Market Force and for CFA Market Force. To me, this is the best company to work with!
There are months that I can work only for them, as I have so many assignments. Other months, not so many, but I am so happy with them. I have had some issues with reports and assignments but it is always resolved and they are always professional and cordial. They really are my favorite company!!

They are one of my favorite two companies. I have nothing bad to say about them really. I know some here don't like them, but....well, we all have our own reasons to dislike a company, right?

I haven't noticed any less shops in Minnesota. The same clients seem to be available.

Companies come & go and this month the offerings for Market Force are indeed down. They are not offering the Ice Cream shops in the Southeast and one of the big wireless companies apparently has all of the photos they need for their contract stores but just as they are down look at Trendsource!!! This month they have had an explosion of shops in my area vs. the 2 - 3 they usually have that I can easily do. The same holods true with Maritz and CORI, I may go a month or two and not do any shops but them snap up a dozen or more when the price is right.
