Bare retail audits

June 27, 2017 01:25AM
Has anyone done the Bare audits where you price 300 items and they estimate the entire job (no report needed) will take 3 hours? It's all done on an app while you're in the store. I gather it will take more than 3 hours, but how much more?

I just applied for one but asked for $80. It is close. I estimate 4 hours on site. I have done these price audits with about 40 items for gas stations, drug stores, and a few QSRs which was like 10 items and 10 mins but 30 at the others. If I get it I will let you know how it goes.

Shopping Western NY, Northeast and Central PA, and parts of Ohio and West Virginia. Have car will travel anywhere if the monies right.

I never did one, but some price audits directions say do not reveal ur a shopper. So, how do u stay in a store this long amount of time doing this without being noticed nor buying anything?

Did you get this job and if so how did it go? Thinking of applying for one in my neck of the woods.

No I did not get the shop. I have done the shorter c-store and qsr ones which for $15 to $20 each are worth it depending on proximity.

I did it, it took me about 4.5 hours for the 300 because I am not able to move as fast as some of you can. I first did the one that said it was about 140 and that took me a little over 2.5 hours as I had no idea where anything was in the store and my getting up and down is not so quick. If it is the pet store one, no one paid any attention to me, they said hi and asked if I needed anything but when I said I was ok they just went on. I got an email after the second one that asked why so many item were unavailable. Well they want the exact name, size and code, they just didn't have it at the store. They had one for 1000 items last week, I applied and never got it for a week so I guess they will have to see someone else either not adhere to the guidelines re the weight, size, name and code or they will see that I was right. Good luck with them

Well I applied and we'll see if I get it. The money is good, but honestly I don't know if I could stand for 4 straight hours.

Don't know about the pet store audit, but my grocery audit was broken into 8 'missions' containing anywhere from 25-69 items. Generally each mission was in 2-3 departments then at the end of each mission was the "uncategorized" which contained items that were in the previous departments (grrr). So the secret is to read through all the missions and when you're actually doing it, before you go to a different department, scroll through the uncategorized part of the mission your're doing for items the client may have added at the last minute. For example: in Dairy I had eggs, milk, OJ, and butter. But in Uncategorized I had yogurt and three different cheeses. All were in the dairy aisle.
