Promotion staff in Berlin: promoters who actually talk to people

From 26 €/h net per person as a new client, regularly 28 €/h net, minimum 5 hours per promoter. The new client rate applies if you create the quote in the price calculator, confirm within three days and book with us for the first time. A typical sampling day with two promoters from 11 am to 6 pm is fourteen hours at 26 €, so 364 € net. A team lead for larger teams is +6 €/h on one person.

Honestly: that depends more on the location and the product than on the person. Drinks and sweets almost always go; products that need explaining much less often. Always plan more material than you think — running out at 3 pm wastes the rest of the booked day.

On public land, yes: a special-use permit (Sondernutzungserlaubnis) from the district office, granted district by district and not at short notice — plan several weeks. On private ground such as malls, forecourts or shop floors, the owner or centre management decides, which is often faster. We can handle applications and route planning as an extra.

Yes, it is one of our most common jobs. For food we send staff with the instruction under § 43 of the German Infection Protection Act. You organise the approval of the store, the spot, the goods, cooling and equipment; we organise the person and the briefing on product and objections.

Promoters approach people who were on their way somewhere else and start a conversation. Hostesses receive guests who are coming anyway — welcome, register, guide and look after them. On a fair stand the same person can do both, but the briefing is different, and so is the strain: six hours of active approach are harder work.

All speak German, most also English — at no extra charge. Further languages are in the pool and can be staffed with some lead time. At tourist spots like Kurfürstendamm, Alexanderplatz or the Brandenburg Gate, at least one English-speaking promoter per spot is not a nice-to-have.

With QR codes, coupons, lead forms or simple counts. The most telling is a code or coupon handed out only at this campaign — then you know not just how much went out, but how much came back. On request we send a short report at the end of each day.

All black by default. Branded clothing or outfits are fine if you provide them; we ask for sizes beforehand. For outdoor winter campaigns, tell us the season: promoters need warm layers under the branding, or they are no longer approachable after two hours.

No travel fee inside Berlin as long as an S-Bahn, U-Bahn or tram stop is within a ten-minute walk at both the start and the end of the shift — bus stops do not count. Otherwise 25 € per person and shift; outside Berlin 25 € plus the travel time from the city limit as working time. On tours with several spots in a day, the way between spots counts as working time and is part of the plan.
