6. How much experience do you have using technology at promotional events?
As social media marketing and mobile marketing continue to influence buyers, it is important to know how much technologial experience the event model has using smart phones and tablets.
7. Have you worked at this venue before/are your local to the area?
Asking the event hostess whether or not she is familiar with the location and venue is a great way to find out if she is local to the area. Local models tend to be more familiar with the event, trade show, or festival and have a better understanding of how long it will take to reach a particular location. Typically, hiring local event hostesses cuts costs and leaves less room for error.

The age of the event model you hire is important because it directly relates to the types of attendees that stop by your booth. For example, older more experienced event hostesses should be paired with business professional trade shows, while younger, more energetic event hostesses should be hired for street team marketing campaigns.
