If you want to stand out at a trade show, you need more than a well-designed booth,
you need the right people on site.
Because in the end, it’s the personal interactions that make the lasting impression. And that’s where hosts and hostesses come in: as a true asset to your team and a smart way to achieve your trade show goals without overburdening internal resources.
What does a trade show hostess actually do?
A lot more than you might think.
Our hosts are the first to represent your brand on site: professionally, warmly, and with attention to detail. They…
greet visitors and create a positive first impression
hand out samples, flyers, or giveaways
explain basic product details and answer initial questions
guide interested guests to the right experts
help capture leads and support contact collection
and keep your booth tidy and inviting – without you even having to ask
They are your brand ambassadors, live and directly connected to your audience.
Why hostesses are a cost-effective investment
At first glance, adding external staff may seem like an additional expense. In reality, they take pressure off your internal teams and significantly boost the impact of your trade show presence.
1. Your team stays focused on what matters most
Your staff are there to engage in meaningful conversations, build relationships, and close deals. But if they’re also juggling giveaways or appointment coordination, that focus gets lost. Our hosts take on these tasks – so your team can do what they do best.
2. You save on travel and internal resources
Instead of flying in colleagues from across the country or abroad, rely on experienced local professionals. This saves on hotel and travel expenses, reduces planning complexity, and still ensures a professional presence.
3. More visibility, more leads
A strong host team keeps your booth lively and engaging. Visitors are approached actively, curiosity is sparked, and ideally, they become valuable contacts. Your performance improves, effortlessly.
Who should hire trade show hosts?
In short: any business that wants to present itself professionally and efficiently at a trade fair.
Whether you're a startup, SME, or large corporation, with the right hosts by your side, you’ll gain visibility while using your internal resources where they matter most: in conversations with potential clients, partners, and key decision-makers.
Booking trade show hosts means thinking strategically
When you book trade show staff, you're not just investing in extra hands – you're investing in a structured, professional, and successful trade fair appearance.
Whether it's for Biofach, IBA, FIBO, Gamescom, or any other major trade show: BRANDED by Focoso connects you with hosts, hostesses, and promoters who don’t just look the part, they think, act, and embody your brand.
