Paid to shop? No way!
Way!
Many women are discovering a great way to make money doing what they love to do most – shop! There has never been a higher demand for personal shoppers than right now. And the wealthy aren’t the only ones hiring. In today’s busy world, more and more people are enlisting the services of a personal shopper to purchase gifts, groceries, clothing or furniture. It’s not necessarily that they don’t want to shop; they just don’t have the time!
That’s where you can help.
Where to start?
Figure out your shopping expertise and zone in on it. Do all of your friends gush over your flare for fashion? If you seem to know which styles of clothing look best on people, consider being a personal shopper for business men and women who just don’t have time to shop for business suits or shoes. Or, focus on women who really want to dress better but have been living in sweats and jeans for so long they simply don’t know how.
If you have a heart for senior citizens, maybe you can offer your personal shopping services to purchase groceries and other items they can’t get out to buy. Or approach businesses about purchasing employee gift items, particularly around Christmas time.
What is required?
? Great people skills. You must be able to develop a trusting relationship with your clients. Demonstrate your ability to size-up their needs and purchase the exact things your customers are looking for.
? Knowledge of current styles and trends.
? Creativity. Especially applies to gift giving and clothing accessorizing.
? Research skills. If a client asks for a certain item, research prices online or in store ads to find the best deal. Having to pay less than expected is a wonderful way to keep your clients coming back!
? Flexibility. When a customer calls, they usually want something in a hurry, or at least within a couple of days. Be prepared to rearrange your schedule to accommodate clients, if necessary.
Where to Advertise?
Once you decide which area you’ll be focusing on, advertise accordingly. Senior citizen centers or retirement homes, grocery store bulletin boards, popular coffee shops – the places your target client are most likely to hang out. Also place an ad in the newspaper, on Craigslist or on local online message boards.
What to charge?
Many personal shoppers charge a commission, based on the percentage of the entire purchase, plus a flat fee per order. Some also charge mileage, which is a smart idea, particularly if you’re required to drive a long distance. Generally, a 15-20% commission and a flat fee of $10 is a good place to start. Another option is charging hourly, with a one hour minimum.
In conclusion, personal shopping is a wonderful option for moms who want to work from home because it’s something you can do with your kids. Then again, if you’d rather not be distracted while shopping, you can always go out for a couple of hours in the evening when your husband gets home from work or a teenage babysitter is available.
Basically, if you love to shop, and want an opportunity to get out and spend money without feeling guilty – and even get paid for it – personal shopping just may be the job for you!
