What our trade fair hostesses do at Frankfurter Buchmesse
Our trade fair hostesses actively approach visitors, welcome them professionally, provide organised support at your stand and help you capture contact data and pass qualified contacts on to your team. Your team handles the professional discussions with publishers, agents and booksellers – our hostesses take care of reception, visitor engagement, visitor guidance, providing information, stand service and hospitality. On the trade visitor days this mainly means welcoming scheduled meeting partners and guiding them to your contact persons. On the public days at the weekend the focus is on visitor guidance at the stand, for example during readings and signing sessions, and on handing out programmes and information material. Every team receives a written briefing in advance – covering the client, tasks, processes, dress code and contact persons – and, if needed, an online or on-site briefing.
