Personal Shoppers

Experience, Skills, and Personality Traits

Personal shoppers gain experience by helping friends and family shop for the most flattering and affordable clothing or finding the perfect gift. Use the Internet, catalogs, and in-store visits to gather information about products. 

Personal shoppers must have stellar interpersonal skills, and understand fabrics and fashion. Those who wish to go into business for themselves must be able to network and build their clientele base, while rewarding current customers for their loyalty.

Sales experience is helpful and a personal shopper should be perceptive to the needs of clients. Personal shoppers in business for themselves will also need entrepreneurial skills.
