Why New Mystery Shopper Missions Appear Over Time

At Lanla, you may notice new mystery shopper missions appearing near you over the course of several days. This is completely normal—here’s why, and how you can make the most of it.

When you open the app and see only a few missions available in your area, it doesn’t mean there won’t be more. Some campaigns release their missions gradually throughout the campaign period rather than making them all available on the first day.

Some missions are released gradually

For certain campaigns, missions become available little by little, from the beginning to the end of the campaign period. The goal is simple: to spread opportunities over time so that everyone has a fair chance, instead of releasing all missions at once.

This means that a location with no available mission yesterday may have one available today. As the campaign progresses, more missions typically become available.

This isn’t the case for every campaign

The good news is that many campaigns make all of their missions available as soon as they’re published. If you’ve previously seen every mission available immediately, that’s completely normal too. The release schedule depends on each individual campaign—there’s nothing you need to do, and there’s nothing wrong with your app.

How to make the most of it

The best approach is simple: check the app regularly, especially if you’re interested in missions in your area.

Enable notifications to be alerted whenever new missions become available near you, and keep an eye on the app over the following days—a mission can appear at any time during the campaign period.

With more than 120,000 mystery shoppers across Canada, Lanla runs many campaigns simultaneously, so it’s worth checking back often.

In summary

• Some mystery shopper campaigns release missions gradually throughout the campaign period.
• A location with no mission available today may have one later in the campaign.
• Other campaigns make all missions available immediately—both situations are completely normal.
• Checking the app regularly and enabling notifications is the best way to avoid missing new opportunities.

If, on the other hand, you only ever see one mission at a time for a specific location, that’s a different situation, which we explain here: “Why Is Only One Mystery Shopper Mission Available at a Location”.
