In-Store Vape Product Research - Sydney & Melbourne (On-ground freelancers needed) -- 2
Budget: $20 – $40 AUD
We are looking for detail-oriented freelancers currently based in Australia (Sydney or Melbourne) to conduct in-store research on vape products at tobacco and vape specialty stores.
What you'll do:
- Visit assigned tobacco/vape stores in your city (we will provide the full list of addresses).
- Upon arrival, document the store environment and how the target vape brand is displayed: where it's positioned on shelves, visibility of promotional signage, and current stock levels.
- Engage in a casual conversation with the store owner/manager to gather information about:
* How well this brand/product sells compared to competitors.
* Customer feedback and common questions about the product.
* Price points and any promotions they run.
* How frequently they reorder and what their inventory looks like.
Deliverables per store:
- Completed checklist with all required information about product placement and stock.
- Summary of what you learned from the store owner/manager (about 300–400 words).
Requirements:
1. Must be currently located in Sydney or Melbourne, Australia (on-ground only).
2. Available to visit 10 stores per week (flexible schedule).
3. Comfortable approaching store staff for brief conversations — this is purely a research role; no sales involved.
4. Strong attention to detail; accuracy matters more than speed.
5. Prior experience in market research, mystery shopping, or retail is a plus but not required.
Payment:
1. We pay per completed store, not hourly: AUD $30 per store depending on location.
2. Prompt payment via PayPal, TransferWise, or your preferred method once work is approved.
Consistent work available for the right candidates!
