WHY THE TSM AGENCY?
Trade Show Models Attract Attention
We began by staffing technology trade shows during the dot-com boom of the late 1990’s. These early shows taught us a thing or two about our corporate clients’ needs. Our very first models were trained to appear as though they were actual employees of the companies they were representing.
Our executive team comes from a diverse corporate background including banking, sales, and marketing. Our model staffing agency does not employ any entry-level, fresh out of college account executives with no experience. Your events are too important to leave in the hands of amateurs.

Our owner owns a digital marketing and branding agency. In fact, they were our first client and how we got our start. With first-hand experience implementing marketing and promotions for many of the world’s leading brands, our experience carries over to our clients. Feel free to ask us any questions regarding product or service marketing and how to get the most out of your trade show or promotional event.

FAQ
The best way to avoid any misunderstandings about responsibilities is to discuss them with your model at the start of the event. Throughout the event, give your model feedback. Just like an employee, they are working for you! You may contact your TSM Agency Account Executive at any time if you are experiencing any difficulties.
The TSM Agency rarely experiences a no-show, but should this occur, our staff is on hand to find a replacement model for your event.
We accept all major credit cards, wire transfers and checks; however, all payments must be made prior to your event.
At the TSM Agency we base our recommendations of models on the working relationship with the model and client feedback. Models who consistently receive positive feedback and maintain a professional working relationship with the company are recommended.
Account Executives can set up phone interviews for the clients to interview the potential models at the client’s request.
Clients are encouraged to provide any materials they feel are necessary for the model to have prior to the event. They can send this information to their Account Executive, who will then forward it to the selected models for their review.
The TSM Agency has models all across the United States and Canada, so typically, models come from the local area, cutting the expenses for our clients of having to provide travel and accommodations. If a client has a specific model they would like to book from outside the area, the TSM Agency and our models are able to make arrangements for travel.
Promotional models specialize in gaining and keeping the attention of event guests. They can generate a large number of leads, hand out materials, discuss your company with guests, scan badges and many other tasks to maximize your presence. They are great for manning the booth if you need to step away or are engaged with a prospective customer.
Our models specialize in trade show and promotional modeling; however, most of our models have experience in print, runway, film and television, music and many other facets of entertainment.
First you contact us and give us as much information as you can in regards to your event, as well as expectations.
The Account Executive will need to know the dates, location, hours, number of models to staff, the models’ responsibilities and the required attire. You can never give us too much information so feel free to tell us about the type of event (if we aren’t already familiar with it), your goals, messaging, products and services or any other pertinent information.
We will then provide a proposal and recommend staff based on your needs. Once reviewed, we will answer any questions you may have or change any required information in order to finalize approval. Once approved, models from our database will be contacted from the desired location for availability. We will send photos of the available models to you for model selection and then finalize all details and selected model(s).
Due to the wide variety of experience each model has, they each have a different minimum rate they are willing to work for. We honor our models’ requests, as they are independent contractors and are not required to work for a rate they do not find satisfactory.
We take your event very seriously; working diligently and focusing on every detail, as well as understanding what you are looking for and expecting from our models. We will share that information with the models that you book, and keep communication clear and timely. Our staff is prompt and thorough, and strives to fulfill and surpass the expectations of each of our clients.
