WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
Hip2Save is seeking an energetic Black Friday enthusiast who loves shopping during the busy holiday season with flexible availability during early November 2024. While the Hip2Save team of deal shopping experts will help source some of the best Black Friday deals, our Black Friday expert should come with their own deal shopping savviness and eagerness to find can’t-miss savings in-store.
While possessing a love for saving money, a fun and friendly personality is key as this position requires capturing photo and video content to share on Hip2Save’s website and social platforms.
WHAT YOU’LL GET

- $500 stipend to shop for Black Friday deals.
- New smartphone (up to $1,000 value) to capture in-store footage.

- Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get paid to shop!

Shopping trips will require 2 hours per weekday in-store starting Monday, November 11th through Friday, November 22nd.
Document your shopping trips
Using the awarded smartphone, you’ll take engaging and exciting photos and videos to be shared on Hip2Save’s website and social media platforms to get other Hip readers wanting to shop the sales, too. Deliverables include 1 compliation video and 1 photo gallery per store visited.
Share your finds
We’re biased, but getting paid to shop is one of the most fun “jobs” to have. Encourage your friends, family, and followers to get in on the excitement by resharing your shopping excursions on your social accounts.
Have fun!
