How far in advance should I book staff for my event?

There is no set timeline as to how far in advance you should hire models to work you event, but generally speaking, promotional models are booked very quickly for large events. Therefore, if you are attending a large event, it is in your best interest to book models 10-12 weeks in advance in order to hire the most qualified promotional models for your booth. If you are organizing, or attending a smaller event it is best to book models 4-6 weeks before your event begins.

Why trust Crew Expo with your staffing needs?

With 10 + years in the trade show staffing industry, experience counts. Our ratings and reviews on Google and Facebook reflect our commitment to the industry. Here are just a few of the comments that we’ve received from clients:
I’ve used Vantage twice to hire models for trade shows. They are easy to work with, communicate quickly, and provide great suggestions on what models to hire based off the criteria I give them. The first time I contacted them they did a great job of explaining how the industry works being I was new to the process and wasn’t decided on what agency to go with. The models were professional, engaging, and went above and beyond to carry out the tasks asked of them. I will definitely use them again.
“We made a late decision on hiring a model for Shot Show in Las Vegas. We reached out to a few agencies, and Kyle over at Vantage jumped all over it. I asked to see profiles right away and he provided me with models and their availability right away. We chose Sherry, who turned out to be an excellent choice. She did homework on our company and product beforehand so she came prepared. Then throughout the show she was friendly, brought people into the booth, was willing and able to answer basic questions about the product and company, and she stayed at the booth for the entire day. We had to ask her to go take a quick lunch break. I would definitely recommend Vantage, and we will be using them again!”

  • “Vantage Advertising was extremely pleasing to work with. Very prompt replies and fast communication all the time. All communications felt very professional and punctual. The recommended model was also amazing to work with, and even when this was the first time we worked with a model at an exhibition, the process seemed very easy and smooth. Great agency to work with.”
Do I pay before or after the event?

As a client with Crew Expo, you pay nothing until you’ve selected your staff and they’ve been confirmed for your event. Crew Expo will handle talent payments.

The arrival instructions will include where to go, who to contact, and what you need to know before the event. The day before your event, you will receive a text reminder for the next day.

Where do I go when I arrive to the event?
