Promo models are hired by companies to spread the word about their products and/or services. Sometimes also called brand ambassadors, promo models have various duties, but each leads back to selling and promoting. Depending on the needs of the company, males and females can both serve as promo models. Typically, at least a high school education is required and sometimes a college education. Work as a promo model is offered on a sporadic or longer contract basis.
Appearance is important for the promo model. When you work in this field, you should be well groomed and neatly dressed. Although the demographic of a promo model is typically young and attractive, this varies according to the company's product image. At times, companies look for specific appearances that fit the image of their company.
A promo model's main objective is what is implied in the job title: promotion. Promotion is all about talking and selling. If you can approach anyone for a conversation, this job is right up your alley. Companies look for promo models who are friendly and assertive. Promotion involves performing activities like handing out samples, giving presentations and distributing fliers. You could carry out these tasks at events like a convention exhibit, car show or rock concert.
Along with selling, promo models educate potential customers about the features of the designated product or service. Learning the details first so you can share that knowledge is part of the promotion process. You could be simply told the facts about a product on the same day you're hired or have to attend training for higher-end jobs with more responsibility. Models who give presentations and represent big name automobile manufacturers at car shows are an example of higher-end jobs. Memorization skills and the ability to speak well are typically traits of a successful promo model.
For a job that can have unpredictable or sporadic hours, promotional modeling is a job that pays fairly well. It's not unusual to be reimbursed at least $15 per hour for your time as a promo model. Higher-end jobs requiring experience or those promoting luxury products to exclusive clientele offer as much as $50 per hour. The average range for this kind of modeling is around $20 per hour.
