Mystery shopping is actually a marketing strategy that is used by companies to collect specific information that can measure the quality of their product or service. Though the term is a bit mysterious, it is not new. It was being done way back 1940’s as a means to gauge the integrity of the employees then.
The person doing the mystery shopping is called a mystery consumer or mystery shopper. They are also being hired and paid to do this act. Their basic duty is to act as normal customers that ask questions, purchase a product, list their complaints and make a detailed report on their purchase experience.
Most of the common venues where this shopping is undertaken are movie theaters, fast food chains, car dealerships, health clubs, restaurants, apartments, banks, gas stations, etc. Other countries, like United Kingdom hire mystery shoppers to know the customer’s feedback on the services given by non-profit organizations such as churches and housing associations and the local authorities as well.

Last night bloggers and media friends were invited in the official launch of Mysandbox which was held in Bureau - A Venue. With all the promotional VTR’s and money spent by SMART to gather Philippines top Bloggers and celebrites to promote the product, I can say that this is SMART’s most ambitious project but without a doubt this project will be successful in the longrun.
Mysandbox.com is the Philippines first Social Networking site that is catered for Mobile Bloggers. This site is perfect for bloggers on the go because it has a mobile version. It also offers an all-around portal that gathers each members input much like a regular social networking site.

Do you want to start buying and selling online but you don’t have your own blog or website to list and sell your items? Ive been seeing this new player for quite a while now since they have been visible in most google ad spots in some of my blogs.
AyosDito.ph sounds like a youth oriented blog or website but visiting the site, I found out that its actually a new online classified ads where you can buy and sell online much like eBay.
Its not that easy for a new site to be visible, It takes a lot of money to advertise and to have online visibility but the fact that they have money to spend makes them more reliable in my own opinion.

Right in the homepage, a map of the Philippines represents different regions in the Philippines where you can buy and list items for sale. If you are located in Quezon City and you want to look for an item for sale, you may want to click on NCR in order for you to transact seamlessly with a seller in the same location and in that way, you can also meet up with the seller and check the items condition.
