OUTGOING, ENERGETIC, FUN... 3 simple words to describe what we look for in our promotional models. Being a promotional model is all about interacting with people and creating a positive experience for the consumer with the product or brand that is being promoted. Typically these staff members are in-market and can pick and choose the events they'd like to work. Pay is usually hourly and ranges from $15/hour for sampling events to $30/hour for a more specialized program.
