I am not familiar with Shadow Shoppers from the shopper's standpoint, but as a scheduler, I literally log onto that site every day to recruit active and interested shoppers who might not know about Intouch Insight or be signed up on the I Secret Shop platform we use. I find it disappointing when I see new shoppers that are signed up and I cannot see their profile until they have been registered for 7 days. However, that is because we have only the basic of memberships. You need to pay for the better services and it sounds like it goes both ways. I also use the site to post jobs to be sent out to members but again, those can only be seen by bronze members 7 days after I have already posted. It is for that reason I tend to only post for my recurring monthly program and obviously not last minute shops. I have found some wonderful shoppers through Shadow Shoppers who are dedicated to the programs I have recruited for. I have also found "shoppers" who sign up with fake numbers or emails and waste my time, but those are few and far between.
Have a great day!
