There is a question among many in the modeling industry\u00a0whether \u201cpromotional modeling\u201d is modeling at all. Most\u00a0traditional fashion and print agencies don\u2019t deal with it.\u00a0Promotional models are hired through specialized staffing
\nagencies, through direct contact with clients, or increasingly, from\u00a0ads placed on the Internet.\u00a0Promotional models are used in many ways, from acting as a\u00a0spokesperson for a product at a trade show to giving out free\u00a0drinks as a liquor promotion in bars, to passing out flyers in a\u00a0mall. Promotional models may find themselves wearing funny\u00a0costumes or storyboards, bikinis or business suits. The common\u00a0denominator is that they are in front of a lot of people, promoting\u00a0their client in some way.
\nMost promotional modeling is very low paying, as modeling\u00a0jobs go. A typical rate is $15-$25 per hour, or a day rate of $100-
\n$300. Jobs requiring special skills or characteristics can pay\u00a0more, but that is unusual.\u00a0Promotional models don\u2019t have to \u201clook like models,\u201d\u00a0although they usually have to be reasonably attractive. More\u00a0important is a pleasant, outgoing personality, since they will be\u00a0interacting with the public all day. Physical stamina helps also,\u00a0since they may be on their feet for an eight hour day, or working\u00a0into the late hours of the night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
