Are you new to the trade show industry? We have answers to all of your questions. If you are attractive, confident, professional and goal-oriented, you have all chances to become a trade show model.
-How do I get booked?
First things first: to work as a trade show model, you’ll need an active profile with a talent agency. The key to getting booked is a strong, well-presented profile—one that accurately reflects both your appearance and your personality.
Upload high-quality, professional-looking photos. In addition to the required headshots and full-body shots, we recommend including images of you in business attire with natural, polished makeup. Avoid heavy editing or airbrushing—your photos should look like you in real life.
Your profile is also your chance to stand out beyond photos. Use the “Skills,” “Experience,” and “About Me” sections to highlight what makes you a great fit. Have a bartending license? Great—we regularly staff alcohol promotions that require certified professionals. Experience in sales or customer service? Be sure to include it. A business or marketing background? Even better.
Here’s how the booking process works: once your profile is approved and activated, you’ll begin receiving job invitations by email. Each invitation includes event details such as dates, times, pay rates, responsibilities, and attire. If you’re available and interested, simply click the link in the email to let us know you’d like to be considered.
From there, the client reviews candidates and selects the model who best fits their needs. If chosen, you’ll receive a confirmation email along with a contract to sign. Once that’s completed, your booking is officially confirmed.
-What do I do on the day of the event?
Make sure you carefully read the confirmation email, as it contains all the information you need regarding the date, time, location and any special instructions. To avoid unexpected delays, have your outfit ready before the day of the event. To get good reviews from the customer, be on time. Add extra parking time to your travel, as in most cases the trade show venue is going to be very busy. Keep in mind, that a trade show can add extra traffic to a usually not very congested road. In the confirmation email you will be provided with a contact name and phone number to call, once you get there. To confirm your arrival at the event, you will be asked to snap a quick picture of yourself at the time of arrival and send it right away to one of our managers. Also, please don’t forget to take a couple of pictures of you standing next to the booth. You will submit these pictures when the event is over. Empyre Talent reserves the right to use any of the pictures submitted by models.
-How do I get paid?
Once a customer submits a payment, you receive a paycheck in the mail.
-How do I ensure I get good ratings?
Most girls want to become a trade show model to work events on a regular basis. Models with good ratings are more likely to get booked often. The first and most important in getting good ratings, is receiving good feedback from customers. Being on time, looking professional and satisfying the attire description, performing required duties, being friendly and active. A great way to wow the customer on a trade show is to learn how to scan the crowd, make direct eye contact, greet attendees and encourage them to visit the booth. An experienced trade show model will ‘read’ visitors, engage them in a conversation and draw traffic to the booth.
