Demonstrating

Demonstrating (aka. Brand Ambassador) is simply, conducting professional in-store product demonstration programs on virtually every type of product to give the consumer "hands-on" time to increase excitement and sales. You may be in a grocery store one day handing out samples of cheese, demonstrating the latest digital camera the next day and at a pet store handing out doggie treats the next. Some companies may ask you to dress up as a costumed character. There is a wide variety of products that you may be dealing with. Many companies will specialize in one type of product (ex- food, electronics, etc.) Companies know that customers like the idea of being able to 'try before they buy'.

Can I work full time?

Most demonstrating jobs are temporary or part-time positions. You may have a set schedule for a few weeks or months, but I doubt you will find anything that would be full time. You will have a definite start and end time for each assignment. Most demonstrations last 3-6 hours. You can work for more than one company if you want to earn more.

How much can I earn?

That is up to you. The more places you apply, the more opportunities you will have. This type of work averages $11-$16 per hour. If you have special skill sets you could earn more.

You will most likely be required to wear some sort of uniform (ex: black slacks with white button up shirt). You will be required to set up your table and required items needed for the display, as well as tear down at the end of the day. You will be expected to be friendly and get customers excited about the products.
