Communication and adjustment to clients’ preferences

A good luxury personal shopper must listen to their clients requests and adapt to their instructions, in order to be able to provide an impeccable service. For independent personal shoppers this is the case, and they can even feel free to give some suggestions to their clients to help them find the accessory they are looking for.

However, at The Personal Shopper Agency, you won’t have to deal directly with our clients, but you will only receive clear instructions given by the agency representatives, so you can follow them carefully. In some cases, if you arrive at the luxury store and you don’t find the product that the client requested, you can offer new choices to the agency representative and they will contact the client to get to a decision.

Performing luxury purchases

The core service that a personal shopper provides is the luxury purchases ordered by clients. This entails visiting fashion brand official stores, looking for the requested product and purchasing it with the agency bank cards.

The recurrent visits to the same official stores will help you build a client profile that with each purchase allows you to get faster access to exclusive items. This way, when a client asks for an exclusive handbag or a rare accessory, you can skip all waiting lists and access it immediately, providing a clean and fast service to the customers.

At the Personal Shopper Agency we apply a strategic method to build your recurrent client profile, so you won’t have to worry, and the only thing you need to do is visit the stores, chat with the sales people, build a polite relationship with them and ask for the products.

Packaging and shipping luxury items

Once you have purchased the products, the shipping process must begin. As the personal shopper services are needed worldwide, you need to ship the luxury items to the clients. This process entails buying the right packaging materials to create a secure and sturdy package with the items and following the Personal Shopper Agency’s instructions.

When the package has been made, you need to take pictures of the process to keep record of what is being sent. The Personal Shopper Agency will provide clear instructions of the process, in order to follow every step needed by the shipping company and the insurance that is applied to highly valuable luxury products. 

Finally, when the package is done, the shipping company coordinates a date and time to pick up the package from the personal shopper’s home, so you won’t have to do much but wait for the delivery company to arrive and hand them the package.

The personal shopper services are very specific and entail responsibility, as you’re dealing with valuable products that need to reach their destination untouched. However, this job is somewhat simple and can be your ideal side job to earn extra income each month.
