Selling on the spot
Promotional sales staff talk shoppers through the offer and close the sale at a counter, a stand or a pop up. The targets, the price points and the offer all come from your brief.
Launch days
When something goes on sale for the first time, the job is to get it noticed and get it tried. At product launch events promo staff are usually the first people your customer speaks to about it.
Drawing a crowd on event days
Promotional staff for events work the space around your brand, bringing people over and keeping the queue moving. Event promo staff can be booked for one session or a full run of dates.
Selling at consumer shows
An event sales representative on your space knows the product, the price and the questions buyers ask. At consumer events sales staff need product knowledge more than a script, so that is where the briefing goes.
Sponsor and partner spaces
Event marketing staff for the brand moments that sit inside someone else's event. Event sales staff can join them wherever the brief includes taking orders.
Matched to your audience
Female and male promotional staff are chosen on skills, experience and location, and to suit the people your brand is speaking to. Event promotion staff for a younger crowd are picked differently from a trade audience.

Why brands book us as their promotional staff agency
We have staffed promotional campaigns across the UK since 2007.
As a national promotional staffing agency, we take on the parts of a booking that would otherwise land on your desk, so your time goes on the campaign itself.
We have used Executional Services many times, and each time we have been thoroughly impressed by their professionalism and the excellent staff throughout. From the initial booking process right through to the event itself, everything runs smoothly and efficiently. Nothing is ever too much trouble.

A quote you can read line by line
Send the locations, dates, hours and headcount. Every line of the quote is itemised, so you can see the day rate, the hours and each on-cost for yourself, with no hidden fees.
Checked before they start
We check Right to Work and ID before anyone is placed, and each campaign carries Employer and Public Liability insurance. Risk assessments, alcohol licensing, DBS checks and food hygiene certificates are available on request if the venue or product calls for them.
No payroll for you to run
We run PAYE, tax, National Insurance and HR ourselves, so there are no timesheets for you to process. Billing is written into your quote and agreed before the first shift.

We turn your briefing form into a tailored document on the product, the audience and the key messages, and each person has a briefing session before the activity. Virtual or in house training sessions can be added if the campaign needs them.

Nationwide promotional staffing agency FAQs
What buyers usually want to know before they book.
What is promotional staff hire?
It means booking people through an agency to represent your brand in person for a set period, instead of employing them yourself. You set the objectives and the brief, and the agency selects, briefs and pays the team.
How much will it cost to hire promo staff?
It depends on the headcount, the hours, the dates and the locations, so each booking is priced from your brief rather than from a rate card. Send the details and the figure usually comes back within hours.
Can you supply promotional staff at short notice?
Yes. More notice is always better, but we take short notice bookings for promotional staff UK wide, and they go through the same selection and briefing as any other.
How are promotional staffing companies different from recruitment agencies?
Promotional staffing agencies supply people for the length of a campaign, from a single shift to a season, and look after selection, briefing and payroll while they are with you. A recruitment agency fills permanent or long term roles.
Do you cover London, Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds?
Yes, along with the rest of the country from our 40 hubs. London has 2,000+ local staff, and each of the four has its own page: event staff London, event staff Birmingham, event staff Manchester and promotional staff Leeds.
Are you a promo staff agency or a marketing agency?
A staffing agency. The idea and the strategy stay yours; we write the briefing document from them and supply the people to carry it out.
Why use a UK-wide promotional staffing agency rather than your own team?
Capacity. A campaign often needs more people, in more places, for a shorter time than an in house team can give it. Promotional staffing agencies take the recruitment, briefing and payroll off your hands.
Can I hire promotion staff for just one day?
Yes. One person for one shift is selected and briefed the same way as a much larger team.
What should I check when hiring promotional staff?
Whichever promotional event staffing companies you speak to, ask how the people are selected, what they are told before the day, who handles payroll and insurance, and who you can reach while the campaign is live.
Do promotional event staffing agencies work with other agencies?
We do. Marketing and event agencies book us to staff campaigns for their own clients. As an event and promotional staffing agency, we brief the team to the agency's guidelines as well as the brand's.
Can you handle promotional event staffing in several cities at once?
Yes. Teams in different cities work to the same brief, with one account manager across all of them. If you would rather keep the same team for the whole run, tell us and the quote will reflect it.
How long has Executional supplied promotional staff across the UK?
We have have been staffing promotions since 2007. Supplying brands and agencies throughout their campaigns.
