Years ago I worked as a merchandiser. My job was to take a hand held scanner and go to specific grocery stores scanning endcaps, scanning magazine racks, and doing out of stock audits. At the end of the work day I would plug my scanner into its base and transmit the information through a modem. The work was easy, it paid $10 an hour and it was only an average of 14 hours a week. This was perfect for me as I was a new mother and wanted to be able to spend as much time possible with my new baby girl. I continued to do this job for a year until I was ready to go back to full time work.
I found this job by going to NARMS aka National Association for Retail Marketing Services and setting up a free profile. My supervisor saw my posting and called me for an interview, I started work the following week. I recommend anyone looking to get into merchandising to start with NARMS. Legit companies go there to find workers. Go there and create a profile that tells prospective merchandising companies what kind of merchandising type skills you have.
Merchandising jobs vary from passing out samples to placing magazines in grocery stores. There is vareity in the work and because many of the jobs are short term, there are always new things to learn. The work can pay as low as minimum wage or as much as $20 an hour. The more experience you gain while working as a merchandiser the more job offers there will be.
