Promotional & Modelling Work... is this for you? please read this carefully!
Promotional work... modelling...
is all about impression, image, how you portray yourself and of course how others see you.
Before deciding whether the promotions and modelling industry is for you please take a few
minutes of your time to read through this page...
Getting into promotions and modelling is not a 'get rich quick' thing, and however good you are or
indeed the agency you are with, there are never any guarantees. Promo1, like most agencies
displays photos and details of the models available and it is the client that will make the decision
as to who gets chosen for the various assignments.
Reliability is paramount in this industry. Many a model has lost all chances of getting anywhere
purely because the are unreliable. When a booking is made we expect it to be upheld. Turning up
late for an assignment, what ever or where ever it is will never be acceptable, worse still not
getting there at all. It reflects badly on all concerned and once a client has been let down they
will never come back.
Appearance is also very important. If you know you have an assignment on a certain day be
responsible and do not stay up half the night drinking and partying or it will show on your face the
following day. If you are tired or worse still suffering from a hangover, you will not look good and
your performance will be below standard. This again will cause the client to look else where next
time. To be on the safe side make sure you have everything you need such as clothes, make-up,
hairstyling products or whatever ready on the day before you work. If necessary even write
yourself a check list and include on that such things as travel details if they apply, train tickets,
hotel reservations and so on.
Remember, if you are travelling any distance to leave in plenty of time as it is much better to
arrive to early than be late. Allow yourself far more time than you think you will need to allow
for such things as road accidents and closures if you are going by car, train cancellations and
diversions if you are travelling this way. If you are rushing to get to your destination due to
leaving late this is at the very least stressful and will show when you arrive and at the very worst
you may have an accident and never arrive.
The spotlight will always be on you! Whether it be an exhibition, a photo shoot or an evening of
promotions at a nightclub you need to maintain a consistent high level of behaviour. Be
responsible, don't have too much to drink do not go away from where you are working unless
authorised by the client and even then do not go alone or with someone you don't know.
We only earn money when you do, the better your performance and attitude the more work you
are likely to get. Models who posses the right attitude and look are fairly rare so the ones that
do will be the ones that are remembered and subsequently given further bookings. As you get
better and more experience you will be become better known and this will be reflected in the
rates we charge for you and ultimately in what you earn.
Finally... Always remember to be responsible, be reliable and be safe!
