Their main responsibilities include engaging with potential customers, handing out samples or promotional materials, and providing information about the product or brand. Promo staff play a key role in creating a positive brand image and increasing awareness during marketing campaigns or special events. They need to be friendly, outgoing, and knowledgeable about what they are promoting.
