Flashback Friday! Lyft Promotion In Los Angeles!

Pink Avenue Models teamed up with Lyft a while back for their launch in LA and we were so excited to be part of it. We didn't know too much about Lyft at the time but now there isn't a day that goes by that I don't see their pink mustaches on cars. This was a great event in sunny Los Angeles! We hired a team of 8 promotional models to promote the car service outside of a major street fest. Thanks to all of the models that worked and helped get the word out there. They say word of mouth is the best marketing! 64124_10151532224685883_983768010_n Team Pink Avenue

Do Male Models REALLY Do This?

This article caught my eye and made me giggle a little bit. The team at Pink Avenue Models is always blogging about trade shows, events, promotions, and promotional models. We also talk about what to wear, how to get ready, beauty tips and anything else we can teach models to do their best while onsite. This article made me realize we rarely talk about our male models, even though we appreciate them so much. Well, this article points out some girly things that men do. Enjoy! (I know this isn't related to our industry at all but it's fun) http://www.cosmopolitan.com/celebrity/news/girly-things-reddit-guys-do?click=smart&kw=ist&src=smart&mag=COS&link=http://www.cosmopolitan.com/celebrity/news/girly-things-reddit-guys-do-SMT-COS Team Pink Avenue

Flashback Friday! Maxim Models @ Cuervo Volleyball Event!

This was one of my favorite events to attend. It was warm, super busy, and there was a ton going on. We teamed up with a marketing company and sent some of our best promotional models to promote Maxim at the Jose Cuervo Volleyball tournament in Chicago. The girls rocked their bikinis, threw on a Maxim tank top and grabbed the attention of all the attendees. This is an event I hope to do again this Summer. 376508_10151107435540883_329686259_n Team Pink Avenue

Sweets & Snacks Expo 2014 - Chicago

Yesterday I mentioned that we were staffing the NRA Show in Chicago. As most of our promotional models know NRA and the Sweet & Snacks Expo share a day so it is almost impossible to work both. Luckily some clients only book 3 days of the NRA and then the models can work both trade shows. Why is the Sweet & Snacks Expo so amazing? There will be over 15,000 attendees from over 90 countries, and over 620 exhibitors. This means over 3 acres of candy and snacks! This event will take place at McCormick Place May 20 - 22. If you still need trade show models for this event please contact the team at Pink Avenue Models. We can be reached at 312.993.7991 or by email at info@pinkavenuemodels.com for more information.

Spring Dresses For Every Promotional Model!

Guess what has arrived in Chicago, well kind of... SPRING! This past Winter was the worst Winter in Chicago history so warmer weather is making us so excited, even if it is just 40 degrees. I feel like everything comes alive in the Spring, we get more motivated, clothes get brighter, there is more to do, and we actually get to see grass and flowers! With warmer weather ahead this also means more work. We will still have a ton of trade shows but will also have a lot of outdoor promotions at street fests and other events. Welcome Spring! With warmer weather also comes dress and sandal season! Here is a shopping guide of dresses under $40. Enjoy your shopping trip promotional models! https://shine.yahoo.com/photos/gorgeous-spring-dresses-under-40-1396639422-slideshow/zara-yellow-dress-photo-1396639141128.html Team Pink Avenue

Overworked Promotional Models? Only In The US!

In the promotional modeling industry it is common to be overworked, and the thing is we do it to ourselves. Promotional models book themselves for a 10 day auto show, or work a trade show for 8 hours and then a liquor promotion or 2 at night, sometimes these models work 3 weeks in a row without a day off. It's not a bad thing, good work ethic is a great thing but this can be exhausting. We all need days off so we can do personal things, grocery shopping, laundry, lunch with friends, and we all need a quiet or crazy vacation sometimes. Try and have a day off every week just so you don't get burned out, we need you at your best when you're working your events and promotions. Here is proof that the US is full of workaholics. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/proof-americans-bunch-workaholics-110000639.html Team Pink Avenue
