WHAT IS A BOOTH BABE?
A booth babe is a female model hired to staff a booth at a trade show. The term implies a girl who is focusing more on her physical attributes to entice customers rather than her intellect to represent a company. Booth babe is also slang for a booth girl.
Booth babes serve two purposes:
- Attract attention to your exhibit due to their looks
- Assist with activities and demonstrate products
In the early days of trade shows, booth babes elicited a different reaction from attendees. Businesses hired girls to dress sexily, sometimes even in bikinis, even though it had nothing to do with their offerings. They were employed purely to attract attention.
Today, companies that run trade shows have eliminated the stereotypical babe. These girls are professional, though their curves may be emphasized more than other types of promotional models. Think of them as a fun and sexy promo girls.
Let’s establish that when we use the term “booth babe” we are referring to an innocent and friendly name for trade show models. This type of staff has their place depending on the event and target demographic.

Many of our models are experienced in sales, customer service, and marketing. We have an extensive network of talent from around the United States and Canada.
Many people don’t realize that even though you are contacting a booth girl staffing agency, girls are independent contractors. Just as in any field, someone with five years experience can command a higher rate than someone with no experience. As independent contractors, girls set their rates. Not every girl will work for a given rate. The agency typically sets what they feel is a competitive price for the particular job and contacts their database of talent.
The cost to hire a booth babes varies and is based on
- • Responsibilities – what do you need your representative to do? Do you only require a girl to hand out fliers and scan badges, a job virtually anyone can perform? Or, do you demand someone who is confident with sales and can represent you and talk passionately about your products or services? The more responsibilities, the higher the rate.
- • Experience – How important is your trade show? More experienced talent will perform better. They can handle every situation and can often provide you with insight or tips. The greater the experience, the higher the rate.
Booth babes rates vary because:
- 1. There are different types of staff – particular model titles pay more. Trade show models command a higher rate than a hostess. It may seem like semantics but what we call our models indicates their responsibilities.
- 2. The level of responsibility varies – what do you need your trade show models to do? Memorizing information and being able to speak intelligently about your products takes more responsibility than handing out fliers on a street corner.
- 3. Supply and demand – the best talent work the most jobs. Cities that have more conventions have a higher demand. Good booth girls are hard to come by and are in smaller supply.
- 4. Location – location is important. Larger cities have a higher cost of living, and you are competing with other positions that also pay higher wages. NYC, Las Vegas & Los Angeles are some of the most expensive in the country.
- 5. The number of hours worked – Prices will be more competitive if there are a high volume of hours being worked. A two-hour show cannot be discounted as your staff has just lost the ability to work the entire day for only a small amount of hours.
- 6. Miscellaneous – factors such as individual requests, your reputation, the day of the week, and popularity of the show can all influence the rate a someone willing to work.
