TSM Agency product demonstrator portrait at Chicago trade show booth

TSM Agency provides product demonstrators and product demonstration staffing in Chicago for exhibitors at McCormick Place — the most enterprise-intensive convention center in North America. Product demonstrations at McCormick are commercially consequential: a CNC machine demonstrator at IMTS is presenting to senior manufacturing engineers who will evaluate competing equipment the same day; an RSNA medical imaging demonstrator is presenting to radiologists who understand the clinical implications of the technology they’re evaluating. TSM’s Chicago product demonstrators are background-matched to your product category and briefed on your specific product before the McCormick floor opens.

TSM Agency is a national product demonstration staffing agency founded in 2005 with a local Chicago roster. Zero Chicago geo keywords exist for this service. “In store demonstrators” ($5.00 CPC) signals the genuine buyer intent. McCormick Place hosts demonstration-intensive conventions: IMTS technology and manufacturing equipment demonstrations, WEFTEC water treatment technology exhibits, Automate industrial robotics demonstrations, IFT FIRST food science product sampling, Pack Expo packaging technology demos, and NRA Show foodservice product demonstrations. TSM’s local Chicago product demonstrator roster is matched to these specific McCormick industries. Rated 5.0 stars on Google, $1M GL insurance, MPI member.

Why Hire Local Product Demonstrators in Chicago

Local Chicago product demonstrators from TSM Agency know that at IMTS, the manufacturing engineer evaluating your CNC machine has already seen three competing demonstrations that morning — and that a demonstrator who cannot answer a technical question about tooling compatibility or cycle time in the first two minutes of a demonstration loses that buyer to a competitor who can. Background-matched demonstrators at McCormick don’t recite briefing materials at senior professionals; they engage in the product conversation those professionals came to the show floor to have. TSM Agency also places presenters and hosts in Chicago at Chicago conventions on the same calendar.

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!
