What does a personal shopper do?

Although “personal shopper” is a term commonly known as personal stylist, in reality, a personal shopper is a professional trained to go to stores and purchase the products that the client needs. There are different types of personal shoppers, and they can purchase many different items, but here we will dive deeper into the world of luxury personal shoppers, people that buy exclusive and limited-edition fashion products.

A luxury personal shopper goes around the most acclaimed fashion houses’ stores and buys the products that the customers ask for, they can be accessories, clothing, jewelry or shoes, although there are some luxury brands that also offer home products and other variety of items. 

Personal shoppers take care of buying these products for their clients, not only to lift a load off their shoulders, but also to find exclusive products faster, as most of the luxury brands don’t sell them openly or to every client, but they limit the stock to maintain the image of exclusivity. 

Once the personal shoppers finish shopping for the required luxury items, they ship them through secure shipping companies and they reach the clients’ destinations. This way the personal shopper service allows for a more efficient shopping experience and it is made by the hands of professionals.

Why do you need a personal shopper?

Having a personal shopper is not a matter of being rich or needing someone to do simple things for you, sometimes it is really important to hire a personal shopper, because most of the time the products you want to buy are not easily accessible at stores, and this is when personal shoppers come in handy. Here are a few reasons why you need a personal shopper:

• You don’t have time to go shopping: The most common situation for everyone is that they don’t have time. This is normal in the world we live in and with long working schedules, this leaves you with less time to go shopping for things you want, and also for gifts for special occasions. Having a personal shopper can solve this problem easily, and will lift a responsibility from you.
• You can’t visit official stores: There are moments in which you can’t simply go to the official fashion brands’ stores, maybe you don’t live in a city where they are located, or it is way too far from your home. Either way, the solution is a personal shopper that can go to different stores for you, or even better, a personal shopper agency that can visit many stores in different cities at once. This can maximize your chance to find the exclusive item you desire.
• Stores won’t sell you the products you want: As it is common with some fashion brands, their exclusive products are limited, and they can’t be bought easily at stores, so a personal shopper can access them faster than any common customer and ship them to your location in no time. You won’t have to write your name on a waiting list!
• You need advice on luxury shopping: Sometimes you need advice on which luxury products to buy, either for a gift for loved ones, or simply because of an investment you want to make. Personal shoppers or personal shopper agencies are experienced enough to provide all this information to you, as they know the trends and the value of exclusive products in the resale market.

How to hire a personal shopper?

Now, you might be wondering, how to find and hire a personal shopper? The answer is easier than you expect. All it takes is a simple research on the internet to find personal shopper services and see which one adapts to your needs. There are two options that you have to hire a personal shopper:

1. Find a personal shopper for hire: There are some independent personal shoppers that offer their services per hour, they can be of help for small or occasional purchases in your city, but not long-term. These types of shoppers are commonly located in one city, so you need to have in mind that their reach is limited, because they will only go to the stores in their city, therefore, they may not have access to more stocks or products.
2. Hire a personal shopper agency: A personal shopper agency is a way more complete service that can be tailored to your needs and extended for as long as you want. For example, at the Personal Shopper Agency we have 500+ personal shoppers distributed around Europe, so we have access to more exclusive products in less time. Although we’re based in Europe we offer our services worldwide and we ship all around the world. We are also a legal company that can provide traceability of your purchases, authenticity and advice from experts with more than 15 years of experience.

Finally, you should pick the personal shopper service that adapts to your needs, but keeping in mind the importance of a reliable and legal service.
