More About Booth Girl
Booth girls are paid to smile and talk about the products they are promoting. While they can usually provide basic information about a product, they are often not experts. They will direct most questions to the company spokespeople who also work the booths. A booth girl may also hand out marketing materials such as flyers or merchandise. They may gather customer information for future promotions.
Booth girls often wear tight or revealing clothing to enhance their sex appeal. This helps lure crowds to the booth no matter what the vendor is selling. Recently though, some events have established guidelines which do not allow booth girls to wear skimpy clothing. These regulations seek to put the focus back on the products and make events more female-friendly.
