If you've spent any time working in retail or as a mystery shopper, you might want to take a look at retail merchandising as another interesting job opportunity, particularly if you prefer to be an independent contractor with a flexible schedule.

All types of Merchandising Jobs Available

There's a great variety in the types of merchandising job opportunities available, but the main one is where manufacturers hire merchandising firms to make sure that their products are always well-displayed and kept current and fully stocked in retail stores. Other types of merchandising jobs involve product demos to customers (food tastings at Costco, etc) or product training and demonstrations for retail staff associates during new product launches. I worked for several months merchandising books and magazines in several big box stores every week for about 10 hours a week which involved pulling old magazines off the shelf and shipping their covers back to the magazine company, putting new magazines on the racks and generally making sure that the displays were clean and dusted and all the display signage was visible and in good condition. I also merchandised sunglasses in several drugstores a couple of times a month.

Flexible Schedules

With the exception of product demonstrations which usually happen on weekends, merchandising is generally a Monday to Friday job that needs to be done during business hours, often early in the day in order to avoid peak shopping periods. So if you're looking for a second job after your regular workday ends, you'll probably want to try something else, but merchandising is the perfect job for anyone with a flexible schedule during the day. As long as I finished my route every week, it was up to me to decide what days I wanted to work and how many stores I'd visit in a single day. I was easily able to fit the work into an already busy schedule.

Many merchandisers work part-time servicing a small number of stores every week, but it is definitely the type of job that can scale up to full-time if you find you really enjoy it and there are even opportunities to move into management or become a member of a reset team that travels within a region doing large-scale resets of displays and merchandise.
