Vantage Advertising Helps Forge Motorsports Promote At Wörthersee Car Show

The Wörthersee Tour in Reifnitz, Austria is the largest gathering of VAG enthusiasts in the world. For more than twenty years this charming lakeside village has hosted millions of people who come to appreciate the most innovative and trendsetting Volkswagon (VW) and Audis in Europe. Wörthersee derives its name from the beautiful lake that dominates this popular vacation area. The inspiration for the Southern Wörthersee Car Show is to bring together cars & fans of these famous & beloved marques in a truly authentic European atmosphere.

For this event, Forge Motorsports teamed up with Vantage Advertising to help bring an authentic Bavarian theme to their booth. Models Jennifer & Jodie dressed in traditional Bavarian Dirndl & Lederhose to accompany the theme of the show and to help steal attention away from the cars. This show attracts thousands of European car enthusiasts from all over the world, so it was important for our models to be attractive, outgoing & very customer friendly.

Exhibitors are equipped with bigger budgets, higher sales goals, and a greater need to market & sell their products. Companies are going for that "WOW-Factor" to entice people to come into their booths and generate sales. Large scale LED signs, interactive touch screen walls, and augmented reality are some high price ways to attract people to your booth.

Promotional Models Help Generate Leads at PittCon 2011 Expo

This show was a HUGE success for our client, Ocean Optics, as they nearly doubled their sales leads from last years show. The "big" buzz at the show this year was the lifesize action figure package that acted as a photo backdrop for attendees to get their picture taken inside of. Models Brittney & Rasha helped generate a super buzz and even dressed the part to draw attention to the booth.

Aaron Baddeley & Promotional Models Both Win At The 2011 Northern Trust Open

The Northern Trust Open has been a tradition of excellence by bringing the PGA Tour to the golf fans of Southern California, and this year was no different. The prestigious Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles, California was a beautiful backdrop for this year’s event. Aaron Baddeley, pictured above with promotional models Katie & Dana, won this year’s event with a final round score of 69 and finished the tournament at 12under par, while PGA tour notables Vijay Singh and Fred Couples fell just short. Baddeley, who notched his third career PGA Tour win, adds his name to a long list of winners including Ben Hogan, Jack Nicklaus, and Tiger Woods.

Promotional Models Make Heads Turn at The 2011 PGA Merchandise Show

Every year the PGA Merchandise show is held at the Orange County Convention center in Orlando, FL. The show boasts the latest and greatest that golf has to offer and this year was no exception. Behind the featured Taylor Made R11 white header driver, the show saw attendance by consumers and PGA professionals increase by 3.5%; a good sign for the golf industry and product manufactures like Druh Belts & Buckles. But it wasn’t the white header driver that made heads turn at this year’s show; it was the eye-catching pair of Druh Belts & Buckles models. Taking a page from the car show book, Druh Belts & Buckles was able to successfully separate themselves from the 1000’s of exhibitors looking to garner business at this year’s show. The two promotional models were so effective that the Golf Channel choose to feature them over Graeme McDowell (who was signing autographs at Srixon) in its “2011 PGA Merchandise Show: It’s a Wrap” article. With drawing power like this, and a growing number of attendees, the 2012 PGA Merchandise show is guaranteed to see an increase in the number of promotional models exhibitors hire next year.

International Builders Show (IBS): Booth Models bring in Business

NAHB said that “the 2011 International Builders Show in Orlando, FL was a fantastic show with more than 47,000 industry professionals in attendance.” Attendees came to see the 224 educational sessions the show had to offer, and to visit the thousands of exhibitors that were in attendance. With the economy starting to turn around and shows like the IBS seeing a greater number of attendees, companies are looking for ways to differentiate themselves from their exhibiting competitors.

Promotional models Heather and Kaleigh(pictured to the left) helped Viance, LLC do just that. Not only did she help them bring in business but she also provided an upbeat and professional vibe for their booth. But Viance, LLC isn’t the only company utilizing this marketing technique to draw in attendees and increase business. According to the Los Angeles Times ” Booth models are back" and the number of vendors employing these eye-catching young women to greet customers at their displays is up. If your company is planning on exhibiting at a trade show in 2011, take a moment and consider how a professional trade show booth model might be able to help you bring in business.

How to Incorporate Promotional Models into Your Trade Show

The fundamental goal for any company exhibiting at a trade show is very simple; expand its customer base by effectively promoting its company/product while simultaneously capturing customer information.

For any given trade show there will be at least a dozen, and possibly hundreds of exhibitors all trying to capture the information of potential customers walking by their booth. To be more successful than your neighbor, you will need to create an atmosphere that draws-in potential clients. Promotional models are an ideal way to create an inviting atmosphere and are perfect for engaging customer, distributing promotional materials and gathering contact information.

Depending on the size of your booth, it is a good idea to send at least one or maybe two qualified sales personnel to work your booth and then look into hiring professional trade show models for additional assistance. Promotional models can help you by generating leads, pre-qualifying prospects, meeting and greeting clients, distributing promotional materials, gathering customer information, scanning badges and anything else you may need. Professional trade show models are very outgoing and add an unique element to your booth that will distinguish you from other exhibitors. Not to mention the cost savings you will incur by not having to pay for employee travel, meals, and lodging expenses.

Hiring a trade show model is relativly easy and will ultimately increase your trade show experience, maximize your return on investment, and provide the missing element for your trade show success.
