Though the profession of modeling can take on many different forms—including walking the latest fashions on the runway—they all share a common goal: showing off a product or promoting a brand.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

The goal of most models is to convince people to buy things, from clothes, makeup, and jewelry to food and many other types of products. Fashion models are photographed for advertisements in magazines, newspapers, or billboards. Many models appear in clothing catalogs. Others are filmed for television commercials. Some do live modeling, walking the runways at fashion shows or in department stores. Top models are known around the world and some even have their own clothing lines or fitness programs.

Some models specialize in one type of work. For instance, they model only specific parts of their body. Hand models, for example, advertise rings or nail polish. Some work as models for artists or sculptors.

Models can work all over the world and rarely work for just one company. Their jobs can last from a few hours to a few days. Most models don’t have a regular schedule. They may work 10 days in a row but then have the next week off. Sometimes, their jobs are glamorous, like modeling at a fashion show in Milan, Italy, or posing for a magazine photo shoot in Hawaii. Other times, they must stand in the cold while a photographer waits for the sun to come out from behind a cloud. They must be patient while stylists fix their hair and makeup.

Product promoters or demonstrators have a similar job to models: they’re trying to interest people in buying a certain product. They go to stores, state fairs, car shows, and other places to show their product and tell consumers about it. Sometimes, product promoters give out free samples or gifts to customers. They may even be asked to wear costumes or wave sign boards in public to advertise new products. Product promoters can work for department stores, market research firms, or the company that makes the product that they are promoting.

As with models, product promoters and demonstrators have fairly irregular schedules. They may work nights and weekends at state fairs or trade shows all over the country. While they’re working, they may be on duty for many hours and may have to stand or talk for long periods of time. However, the chance to travel and the opportunity to meet lots of people make it worthwhile to many people who become product promoters.
