Promotional Model Must Haves!

Are you interested in working in the promotional modeling industry? I have to say it is a fun industry to work in but very competitive. There are so many different jobs in this industry, you can work trade shows, events, liquor promotions, street teams and so much more. Before getting in this industry you should have professional pictures to send along with a resume. You will also need a few items in your closet, you may already have some. Here is a list of items every promotional model should own and Black Friday is just a few days away and a great time to shop for cheap!

* Black pants. Make sure they are fitted and professional looking. Do not buy black jeans!

* Black skirt. Not too short, not to long. The best length is mid thigh.

* Black heels. Make sure they are closed toe. This is required for a lot of in tore demos.

* Black knee high boots. These are usually required when working liquor promotions.

* Gym shoes. These are nice to have and usually worn during street team promotions.

* Khaki pants/shorts. Khakis are required usually in the summer for outdoor promotions but can be asked for year round.

* Umbrella. There are promotions that are rain or shine so make sure you have an umbrella.

* Nude bra/underwear. There are some uniforms that are very sheer and that is when these items will be required.

* Conservative/professional clothing. Most trade shows will request the trade show models to dress professional but sexy. Have a few items in your closet in case the client requests this look.

It sounds like a lot of stuff but you never know what the client will request.

Updated Pictures Needed!

Things are starting to slow down since Winter is approaching which means more free time for the models! Since you won't be going promotion to promotion the next couple months make some time to update your pictures. The team at Pink Avenue Models receives tons of model submissions every week and we have seen tons of pictures, good and bad. It's important to keep your photos updated so the clients know what you look like currently, not years ago. Photo shoots are meant to be fun and a time to be creative and use an alter ego but we do want simple pictures, nothing to artsy. When we send a model's profile to the client for approval we send 3 pictures, a head shot, body shot and a candid photo so keep that in mind when you submit to modeling agencies. The head shot should be close up and the model should be smiling. The body shot does not have to be a bikini or lingerie picture, we prefer jeans a fitted shirt and heels. This will show your body without being too revealing. A candid picture can be you out, or working a promotion. The only request is that you are the only one in the picture. We understand that pictures are altered, photo shopped and can be changed dramatically, we ask that you send us pictures with minimal editing. Have fun at photo shoots, it's your one chance to wear things that you can't always get away with wearing. Not to mention you get to wear different make up and have great hair, it's a day to dress up and have fun. We can't wait to see your new pictures!

LRD - A Necessity For Every Model

The holidays are right around the corner, just 1 week until Thanksgiving! Red is definitely the color to wear during the holidays and is everywhere this season. I've been looking at red dresses all morning and saved some of my favorites to show all the promotional models out there, and they are all less than $100! I know that there are corporate events and parties coming up that you may be working or attending and a red dress will definitely make a statement. Models love to shop and finding the perfect red dress is just another reason.
