Trade Fair Hostesses- A Friendly Connection To Have

If you’ve ever been to a trade fair before, you’ll be familiar with hostesses- they greet arriving guests, answer any initial questions and represent their company. With their friendly demeanour, dazzling looks and personable nature, trade fair hostesses are invaluable to any reputable trade fair company. Would you like to become part of this fascinating profession?

Where do trade fair hostesses work?

Contrary to what the name might suggest, trade fair hostesses don’t just work at trade fairs. Although trade fair stands have always been a main field of activity for trade fair hosts and hostesses, the range of possible job options for them has expanded enormously in recent years. Many innovative forms of promotion and marketing, such as customer-facing sales events, info points and interviews, would be unthinkable without accompanying hostesses. In addition, the unobtrusive but always friendly ladies and gentlemen are used at information desks, conferences and congresses, for VIP support, in front of shopping malls, at cloakrooms, for catering and as part of moderated events.

What do hostesses actually do?

The primary task of trade fair hostesses is to greet and brief guests in a friendly manner. These guests may be potential customers, trade fair visitors, conference attendees or theatre visitors. In addition to simply greeting guests, working the cloakroom and issuing accreditation, you may also have to answer simple questions about products, pour drinks or hand out flyers. Because of the versatility of this job, it becomes easier to transition to other career paths such as bartending, waitressing and modelling.

What do you need to be a trade fair hostess?

Trade fair hostesses should be no older than 30 and have a well-groomed appearance. They don’t need to have any specific qualifications but you should have a good level of English and be a good communicator to effectively answer any questions clients may have. You should be friendly and be able to maintain this for a long period of time. Most working days can last eight to ten hours (sometimes longer). Some clients will specify the appearance that they would like (height, figure etc.) or if they need any specific language speakers. This is variable to each job.

How much does a trade fair hostess earn?

Working as a trade fair hostess is a flexible part-time job. Some contracts are only concluded for a single day, others for a week, a month or longer - depending on requirements. Earnings are between €15 and €25 per hour. Long-term, experienced head hostesses who train unskilled hostesses at trade fairs and also look after trade fair stands themselves can earn up to €35 per hour.
