Why Hire Local Convention Models in New York City

Local New York City convention models from TSM Agency know that the Javits Center’s Crystal Palace main concourse creates a high-visibility corridor where exhibitors at prime floor positions are observed by industry press, buyers, and competitors simultaneously — and that convention models placed at these positions carry your brand impression beyond the individual booth interaction to the broader industry narrative a major Javits convention generates. They also know the Manhattan-specific logistics: that exhibitor staff arriving to the Javits from Midtown hotel blocks navigate differently from those coming from across the Hudson, and that morning convention call times at the Javits require earlier arrivals than most other U.S. venues.

I had to take the time to post this review. Simply stated, the TSM Agency is the best model staffing agency we have ever worked with. Our account executive, Caryn, was prompt and professional. We only had two days to staff two models. We came to an agreement and had our models in the same day I initially contacted them.

The TSM Agency is our go to model staffing company. Our account executive is so easy to work with and knows the industry inside and out. But what really separates TSM from the other companies we have worked with in the past are their models. TSM Agency trade show models are just the best. When you talk to the girls you can tell TSM treats them well and that they are very loyal to the agency. The girls always come prepared and on time. They are a joy to work with and their smiles are infectious! I can’t say enough. It makes me very happy to see our competitors enviously looking at us because our trade show models are doing such a great job and our booth is always packed.

Keila and Kirsten were exactly what we were looking for from our trade show models. For our previous show we flew a couple of employees to work the show and, no offense to them, we will never do that again. Professional models were far better at generating leads for us; the entire reason we did this event is Las Vegas. Our models were well prepared, dressed professionally, kept up an amazing energy during every day of the show and help us demo our products. Caryn, our TSM Agency account executive, did an amazing job and provided the perfect models.

Thank you TSM Agency! We have never received so many leads as we did this year at the World of Concrete Show. Our models were great and we want to staff the same girls next year. They performed above and beyond our expectations. Thank you TSM!
