In the run up to both events, we had teams of 5 out and about at the following locations to hand out flyers and shout about both events!

It has been a super busy end of the year for Promo House and these are just a few events we have been working on. Take a look at our gallery for more of what we have been up to!

Spotlight On: Well Defined (The Future of Food)

For November’s blog post we are shining the light on our lovely client Well Defined. Firstly, we would just like to say a BIG thank you to Well Defined for choosing Promo House Staffing. We had previously worked with Chelsea and Rachel at Be:Fit and now these lovely ladies have just launched their very own show .. The Future of Food!

The Show…

The Future of Food 2018 took place at The South Place Hotel London in October. The event was a huge success with its interactive talks and workshops delivering real and credible information about what we eat, and the effect it can have on our health, our planet and our future.

The Team

Well Defined hired a team of 12 exhibition staff who all had different roles at The Show. The team were on hand at the show to help with running the seminars, show visitors into the theatres and to generally help the organisers with the running of the day. The staffing team was split into:
  • 3 Theatre and Stage Managers
  • 3 Theatre and Stage Assistants
  • 1 Live Food Stage Manager
  • 1 Live Food Stage assistant’
  • 2 Registration staff (all day)
  • 2 relief and ‘floating’ staff who supported across all areas
A great BIG thank you to our team that worked the show. Your hard work doesn’t go unnoticed and it’s always nice to receive glowing feedback like the following from clients: “Just wanted to drop you guys an email to say how great your staff were today, they really did pull it all together, worked extremely well to the briefs and just cracked on! Great team.” – Chelsea Cox Well Defined You can read about the show here – https://balance.media/event/future-food-well-defined-dr-hazel-wallace/ Put on by the Fabulous team at Well Defined – http://www.welldefined.co.uk/

The Ultimate Exhibition Staff…

Here at Promo House Staffing, we provide exhibition staff up and down the country, most recently for Hearst Live, Immediate Media and Telegraph Events, and we do It rather well even if we do say so!

How to choose the right exhibition staff?

EASY!

Match the staff to the client. We pride ourselves on meeting our client’s requirements, and this is easy to do because we take time to get to know our staff members, and understand their strengths and weaknesses.

we believe in matching staff to industries they’re passionate about.

As well as choosing promotional staff members based on their experience, reliability and professionalism, we believe in matching staff to industries they’re passionate about. For example if it’s a fitness show that we are staffing, and a staff member is passionate about fitness, then TA-DA… we have a match!

Alternatively, our clients are more than welcome to choose their team. Our online system enables us to send a portfolio of suitable staff allowing clients to select their A Team!

Preparing your team for an exhibition

In the lead up to an exhibition ensure staff are fully prepared and briefed on their roles.

We make sure our staff fully understand what clients require of them at a show.

For large teams, we advise booking an onsite supervisor who will manage the team and give them a full briefing onsite during the first morning of the show.

When a new client books a large team usually myself or Shelby will take on the role of supervisor to ensure everything runs without a hitch. If a supervisor isn’t required we encourage clients to deliver a brief to all staff onsite.

Top Tips for exhibition success

  • Pick staff who are passionate about the industry you work in (as well as hardworking, professional and friendly)
  • Create brilliant working relationships with your staff
  • Keep staff happy and engaged with recognition for their hard work.
  • At the end of the show, ask staff for feedback on how you could make it better for them and future staff

Promo House provided BCFC with a team of 10 to wear the kits and to create awareness in the city of the new launch.  BCFC ran a competition to win a kit .. all you had to do was have a photo with one of the team and #standoutinthecity to be in with the chance of winning. THE RESULTS Lots and lots of social media attention, members of the public stopping taking photos and talking about the kit. The campaign caught the eye of everyone in the city that afternoon and it even got Villa and Wolves fans talking about it!

Penta Hotels

LOCATION  Caversham Heath Golf Course- Reading HOW IT WORKED Penta Hotels decided this year it would be important to have a team of staff who were on hand to bring that last added extra for their guests at their golf day.

Throughout the round of golf out team were flying around on golf buggies providing drinks and snacks and make sure the guest were well looked after.
