    Sex sells, walking advertisements with boobs.

    So i teamed up with a local modeling agency to try something new out.
    www.leetchix.com

    We basically book spots and booths at events like warped tour and other large scale lan parties + conventions, then we are paid to have the models wear certain brands, and promote certain products. We've already got 3 accounts with local clothing companies, which have basically paid for our whole year.

    Any takes on this? Opinions? Advice? Anyone interested in pushing some products? It's a totally new domain for me so it might get a little rough.

    Well, I had 4 lined up for a calendar I was going to do for bars locally, but the Cost for a calendar would have made me have to charge 20-25$ per, and that would be to expensive.

    THey are VERY hott Girls.

    I like this Idea ALOT>

    Very profitable. We had the 3 current accounts pay us to wear their clothing and give away stickers etc at a big gaming convention. Together the money we made paid for everything we needed for the weekend and we still came up with a good profit. Their sales/orders almost doubled after that weekend.

    We've already broken even for the entire year after one event.

    Not a bad concept- Not original, but it has been a great success for many of the businesses that do it. My wife and I had started a talent management agency, and saw very quickly the potential to do something like what you're doing. Our biggest issue was that we were too far away from the action- the majority of our clients were either in LA, NY, or Florida. It didn't pan out for us, but seeing as how you already have a majority of the logistics worked out, it should for you.

    What I recommend for you is to offer referral bonuses and incentives for your current clients, to get them to recommend your 'services' to others. Before you know it, they may start booking your company for their own inter-company events. Another angle you can approach is Job Fairs and Hiring Parties. Set up a booth at a job fair, and make it seem like you're looking for additional employees, administrators, and models. This may put you in touch with some great potential talent, but will also help you catch the eye of a LOT of companies that are interested in recruiting. All you have to do is walk around with some business cards, rate sheets, and/or promo cards and offer your services for their next job fair or event. If you approach it correctly and 'tastefully', you ought to be able to book the entire year in just two or three such events!
