Is your product actually on the shelf?
An on-site check of stores in China: presence, placement, pricing and stock, photographed with timestamps. One day covers multiple stores in a city. $239 per on-site day.
What gets verified
Per store: is my product here, on this shelf, facing the way it was promised. Price tags photographed, stock levels and gaps documented, competitor placement and pricing captured on the same aisle.
Typical tasks: Is my product in this store · competitor pricing survey · shelf position check · stock level verification
How it is documented
The deliverable: timestamped photos per store, findings in a structured table, and a written report the same day or the next. One working day covers multiple stores within a city.
Scope and cost
What this is not: no scripted mystery-shopping personas and no shopper labor beyond observation. This is a check with a camera and a checklist. Intercity store runs add travel at actual cost with receipts, listed in the quote.
- Presence per store, photographed with the timestamp visible.
- Shelf position against what you were told you had.
- Price tags on your product and on the competitors beside it.
- Stock depth and gaps, from the floor as a customer sees it.
- A written summary you can forward without rewriting.
Distribution reports say a product is listed. A shelf says whether it is faced, priced and stocked this week. The check is disciplined observation, store by store: your product where the planogram claims it should be, the price tag photographed, the neighboring competitors captured on the same aisle, out-of-stocks documented with the state of the back-stock visible from the floor.
The evening deliverable is a structured table plus photo proof, described in what one field day includes. Multi-city itineraries are quoted with travel at actual cost, itemized before approval. Start from the order form.
Frequently asked questions
How do I check if my product is sold in a Chinese store?
Commission a store check: an on-site day at $239 covers stores within one city, and every finding comes back as timestamped photos of the shelf, the price tag and the stock situation, with a written report the same day or the next.
Can you survey competitor prices in stores?
Yes. Competitor pricing and shelf position on the same aisle are part of the standard capture, itemized in the written report so you can compare them against your own listing and terms.
Do you do mystery shopping?
Not as a scripted persona audit. What you get is disciplined observation: presence, placement, price and stock, photographed and reported. If a task needs more than observation, the quote says so before you approve.
