How is Buzz Promotions different from a modelling agency or an event planning company?
Buzz Promotions has an altogether different focus and satisfies a niche market. Modelling agencies specialize in supplying staff for TV, print, and runway modelling. Accordingly, their models are selected for their physical appearance, acting ability and photogenic qualities. An event planner will provide you with all the resources to plan, organize and execute your event but would likely outsource their staffing requirements to companies like us. Buzz Promotions, however, focuses on providing you with the right promotional staff, specifically chosen, for any type of event. We require our staff to be physically attractive, but most of our emphasis is placed on personality, intelligence, communication skills, confidence, etiquette and professionalism.
Why is Buzz Promotions better than low-cost temp staffing or hiring our own staff?
Each of our staff goes through a thorough screening process, which ensures only those with specific qualities that we look for are hired. We have taken the time to get to know everyone on our roster. We know their strengths and what types of events and promotions suit them individually. Our staff are professional, experienced and exceptionally good at their job. Temp staff are often absent, late, unprofessional, "sick", lazy or shy. At Buzz Promotions, we take on the responsibility of finding you the right staff and planning for any contingency or emergency, leaving you to take care of the many other aspects of your event. After all, do you have the time to pre-qualify, interview and screen hundreds of applicants? Leave that to us!
What are Buzz Promotions’ prices?
The cost varies for each client and depends on many factors – number of staff needed, uniforms, time, specific expertise or skills you require. Regardless of your budget, Buzz Promotions offers customized solutions with highly competitive rates to help you find the right staff for your event. Additionally, we offer special rates for high-repeat and exclusive clients, and ensure that our clients have a full estimate of the cost, inclusive of taxes before going ahead. Please e-mail us with your inquiry and we’ll get back to you with a price list/quote within 48 hours.
Do you offer services for events across the U.S. and Canada?
Buzz Promotions can provide staffing services for any Canadian event or promotion. We do not operate in the States, however we plan on expanding in the future.
Will the staff provided by Buzz Promotions be trained as per the requirements of my event?
Definitely! Our clients decide how much training is necessary for each assignment. We always provide our staff with a detailed briefing and can arrange for you to meet with them prior to your event. We guarantee that our staff will be able to confidently promote the products and/or services your company represents.
In case a staff member is injured during an event, to what extent am I liable/Are your staff insured?
All staff are covered by WCB while on shift with Buzz Promotions although, to date, we’ve never had any accidents.
If my event is on a public holiday, will you still be able to provide staff?
Holidays and festivities are an important part of our business and the majority of our bookings happen on weekends. Regardless of the day or time, we can provide you with the right people to make your event a success.
