Cultivate Trade Show & Booth Staffing

Yes. We provide vetted Cultivate trade show models who work the front of your booth at the Greater Columbus Convention Center - greeting and qualifying growers, garden-center buyers, and landscapers, opening conversations, and routing product questions to your specialists. They're sourced locally in Columbus and briefed on your product category and terminology before the show.

Yes. Cultivate brand ambassadors represent your brand on-message to a green-industry and procurement audience, trained on your product details and talking points; Cultivate promotional models drive the right growers and buyers to your demos and capture them as leads. Both are briefed on your product and the action you want every qualified visitor to take.

Yes. All Cultivate staffing is fielded from the Columbus market, so you avoid the airfare, hotels, and per-diems the show week adds, and your team already knows the Greater Columbus Convention Center layout, freight, and exhibitor access. Local staff also arrive without the travel fatigue that hits fly-in crews mid-show.

Yes. Our lead-retrieval specialists are trained on Cvent, Compusystems, Validar, Klik, and Bartizan for accurate, real-time scanning, and our product demonstrators are briefed to support your staff-led product and equipment demonstrations - managing booth flow and first-line questions while your team leads the demo.

Yes. Cultivate offers Spanish-language programming and draws international buyers, and we can provide Spanish-bilingual and other bilingual brand ambassadors and demonstrators to engage Spanish-speaking and international buyers in their primary language. Request bilingual staffing during your consultation so we can match talent by product category.

Cultivate staffing typically runs $50–$60, $60–$75 or $75+ per hour across TSM's published tiers, depending on role, language, and show length. Send your booth size, dates, and the roles you need; confirm quote response timing with your account executive.

Yes. We're a woman-owned national event staffing and talent agency founded in 2005, an MPI member rated 5.0 on Google, with 2,000+ events staffed and $1M per-occurrence / $2M aggregate general liability coverage, and we can provide a certificate of insurance for Greater Columbus Convention Center exhibitors on request.

No - TSM Agency is a trade-show and event-marketing staffing agency, not a catering, hospitality or exhibit-labor company. For Cultivate (AmericanHort) we provide the booth talent that draws traffic and captures leads at Greater Columbus Convention Center in Columbus - trade show models, brand ambassadors, promotional models, product demonstrators, lead-retrieval specialists and registration staff. We don't supply catering, bartenders, wait staff, ushers or booth installation and labor; for those, a hospitality or exhibitor-services company is the right fit.
