Marketing Manager Jaime Giannantonio shares this about Forte Models. "Ultraflex Systems participates in a number of industry-wide tradeshows each year; the largest of which often takes place in Orlando, FL. This is where we discovered Forte Productions, which led us to Forte Models, which led us to Mandy Ashford. Mandy was our tradeshow model in Orlando last year and she was MORE than we could have wished for; she was the perfect blend of professionalism and charm. Her physical attraction brought crowds to our booth and she played right along with our “Ultraflex to the Rescue” theme in her cute nurse outfits. She not only attracted the crowd, but once she had their attention, she taught them about our products and their benefits. She was able to do this just by listening to the salesman around her. We will be featuring Mandy in our booth again this year in October. Forte provided us with not only a great beautiful model/hostess for our show, but quality service before, during and after the event! This is rare… often times agencies seem “out to get your money”. Forte never gave us that impression and I will continue to use their services and models for years to come."

Thanks so much Jaime for your kind words. Let Forte Models do the same for your company. Call us at 407-744-5451 and ask Don to introduce you to our top shelf roster of remarkable models. www.orlandomodelagent.com

Runway Models At Tradeshows

Runways models are a very effective tool at a tradeshow. If your company produces or sells apparel or anything that someone can hold, a catwalk styled runway show with models showing off your product makes a really huge presence for you. Typically, and you may have seen this yourself, large staged areas with many chairs are used and many prospects come to see what is being presented.

Most recently, Forte Models did a runway event that utilized models wearing apparel that was tailor made for a variety of technologies such as ipods and mp3 players, computers etc. It was very cool to watch, and literally many hundreds of people came to each show. Runway shows are also very effective in hair shows.

Forte Model's Client Spotlight

Forte Models has enjoyed the great pleasure of working with some really wonderful clients. I have decided to do a weekly post about the companies that have used our services in the past and helped Forte get to where it is today. Our first spotlight client is Samson Technologies.
Based in NY, Samson began 26 years ago as an audio technology company designing wireless microphone systems. Today, they are an industry leader with three distinct brands: Samson, Hartke and Zoom. Over 350 products designed and distributed by Samson are sold in 106 countries throughout the world.

Introducing Forte's Event Models

Forte Models offers a service called event modeling. In this post I will share what that is and more specifically what it is not. Often a client may contact us and share they are hosting a mixer, or party and they want it to be extra special and viewed as impressive by their prospects and or guests. They will contract a group of models to essentially seed the party so it appears that all of the beautiful people are there. Models are also used as greeters, or to pass out name badges and check guests in. Models create an illusion. If you have a newer and smaller business but throw a pool party mixer and there are beautiful men and women all over the place people will think you are successful. It is a sad reality, but people equate success, money, and fame with gorgeous people. They figure if your company has all of these playmate caliber girls roaming around, your company is doing really well. So it's pretty simple to create that with the gorgeous Forte Models. If you are a very successful company, show your guests that you are, with this effective tool.

What event modeling is not is an escort service. Here are the requirements for you to book event models. There must be a minimum of 30 guests attending your event. It must be held in a public venue, ie. you can't throw a party on your expansive mansion property only accesable by helicopter, but you can if it's at the Omni hotel where there are lots of witnesses. You must book at least 10 days out and contract with us. Finally, if you or your guests get inappropriately touchy feelly because you have had too much to drink, the models politely excuse themselves and leave. Our models are another form of decoration for your event. They are not your entertainment. Use this marketing tool to your best advantage and you will be the talk of the town. Call Forte Models today at 407-465-0300 and book our event models today. Of course we ask you to visit our website at www.orlandomodelagent.com to view our gorgeous roster of talent.

A Preferred Photographer-Craig Huey

When Forte Productions became a model agency it was crucial to start a relationship with a great photographer. Don Sanderson was blessed to meet Orlando based photographer Craig Huey. Craig came highly recommended as a great photographer with great business ethics and no tarnished reputation. This tall, unasuming gentleman became a trusted friend and associate very quickly and became the photographer of choice for Forte.

Craig has a great eye, and a beautiful artistic flair. He has probably shot every beautiful model in the Southeast at this point. He has also become an in demand corporate photographer shooting for advertising campaigns and events. Craig has a very impressive portfolio and you can see his work on www.craighueyphotography.com or www.grayrainbows.com. Craig's great sense of humor and ability to get the shot out of everyone from the inexperienced to the seasoned pro makes him a very logical choice concerning any of your photography needs. If you are a model and haven't shot with Craig, you should. He's a world class guy with world class talent. www.orlandomodelagent.com

Forte Represents Models Nationwide

It became clear to Forte president Don Sanderson very quickly that Orlando Florida was not the only city in the US that hosted trade shows. It is one of the top two, but most large cities host tradeshows. Many of the Forte clients would share that they were delighted with their experience using a Forte model at their tradeshow, and they expressed that they wished they could use a Forte model in the next city they were going to. Often trade shows run a circuit through the US. A tradeshow leaving Orlando may be next stopping in Atlanta, DC or Nashville, before moving to Dallas and then to Vegas and the West Coast.

In an effort to continue pleasing our clients Forte created small, but elite, teams of models in most of the other major cities. we engrained the Forte philosophy into them and chose only the top shelf models in each city. So if you have multiple tradeshows and don't have the budget to travel a model around with you, please consider one of our satellite city models. Call us today for all of your trade show needs.

Forte's Favorite Tradeshows

Forte Models has had the good fortune to provide exhibitors with our services at countless tradeshows. If I had to reflect on what show I have enjoyed the most I would have to say that the IAAPA show is my top show. The IAAPA show is the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions. At this very large convention, exhibitors show their latest offerings in the way of rides, games, attractions etc. This show actually has fully operational merry go-rounds, rollercoasters, and other amazing rides. I take my daughter there and we make a day of enjoying all of the latest and greatest theme park related stuff. There are always some amazing things to see at the IAAPA show. Come to the IAAPA show in Orlando this Fall www.iaapa.org and you'll probably see some of Forte's top tradeshow models. See you soon. www.orlandomodelagent.com

Some Other Effective Exhibiting Tools

Over the years countless exhibitors have tried to come up with effective solutions to making their company stand out at a tradeshow. As I have mentioned, tradeshow models are the most cost effective way to do this, in my opinion. However, there are some other options an exhibitor can use and Forte Models can help with these as well. Theses are some of the alternatives past clients have used;
* Musical Talent: Clients have hired single peformers to jazz quintets to create an abience that will make their exhibit booth more engaging and cause someone to stay there longer. I have even booked herald trumpets for tradeshows. Typically in this instance, the exhibitors have very large booths.
*Dancers: Attractive and talented dancers have come out on a hourly basis to do a short routine to music that is usually loud enough to get everyone to take notice. Many times the head exhibitor will use the dancers to get everyone's attention before he or she walks out and makes an announcement or speech.
*Giveaways: I have seen exhibitors give away everything, from key chains to Harley Davidson motorcycles. Often an exhibitor will utilize tradeshow models to help facilitate these giveaways.
*Unique Talent: This is for the client who likes to be the talk of the show. I have booked Celebrity Look-A-Likes, such as Elvis, Humphrey Bogart, Marilyn Monroe, Michael Jackson etc, and even booked Superheroes and Oompah Loompahs. The clients imagination and budget are their only restriction. If you have any thoughts as to how to enhance your exhibiting experience call Forte Models today at 407-465-0300 and don't forget to check out our website at www.orlandomodelagent.com.

Featured Forte Model Of The Week: Summer P

Let me share a brief story about the very lovely and talented Summer P. When I first started booking models I had heard about Summer from other models in Central Florida. Summer had also contacted me and she had sent me her images and of course I was very impressed. Summer's portfolio is quite simply, stunning. She has worked with the industry's finest photographers and Summer, like Forte's other top models, is magic in front of a camera. So this gorgeous redhead contacts me and I know I can take advantage of marketing her many assets. So I get the opportunity to book her on a tradeshow and I meet her at Orlando's convention center for the first time. From the caliber of her pictures I am thinking... OK, this girl is Playmate beautiful but... does she have a beautiful brain and personality to match? So we get through our personal introductions, and Summer is very sweet and charming. I take Summer in to meet her client. After the introductions I thank the client and Summer and wish them both a nice day. I make it a habit of staying at conventions for a few hours to meet new potential clients, see what other models are booked by my competitors etc. An hour or so later after walking through the massive convention center I approach the booth that Summer is working at. I am intriqued and I go into spy mode. From around the corner I watch Summer do her thing. Then I picked my jaw up from the floor. Really beautiful tradeshow models like Summer can have an attitude of, I'm hot, all I have to do is stand here and be ogled and I really don't have to work too hard. But what I saw I would never forget. Summer, was aggressively, but pleasantly greeting every single passer by and even pulling prospects in from the aisles to meet her client. They were obviously thrilled to meet Summer and Summer's client was smiling from ear to ear. It appeared Summer could have been working with this clients for years. In a very short time she assimilated into the purchasing clients company and became an extra saleperson. I was very impressed. From that day forward I knew I would never have to worry about Summer. She is truly one of the best. If you don't believe me call Eric at Just Lamps, www.justlamps.com. Eric made a very smart business decision a few weeks back and hired all three of the models who I have showcased in this blog so far. Alison, Mandy and Summer were flown to LA and completely wowwed everyone at InfoComm 2007. Eric and company are ready to book a year in advance. Summer has never been told the story of how I spied on her and she will probably learn when she reads this blog. I just wanted to share how impressed I was with this young women. A very in demand national model who has it all going on. Call Don at Forte Models today at 407-465-0300 or check out Summer's portfolio on our website at www.orlandomodelagent.com. We hope to serve you in the near future.
