We price around the product, event, team, logistics, risk and commercial opportunity — not a generic staffing rate. You receive a clear written scope, measurable targets and a model built for the work that actually needs doing.
One brand may need a two-person team for a proven product with a simple demonstration. Another may need commercial modelling, recruitment, detailed product training, travel, stock control, card payments, daily management, logistics and a complete post-event report.
Quoting a single headline day rate before understanding that difference would not be transparent. We first establish what success looks like, what the event must generate and which responsibilities sit with each party. Then we recommend the most sensible commercial structure.
The recommended model depends on the objective, product economics, level of operational control and how clearly success can be measured.
A clear price for agreed work, people, dates and deliverables. This is often the most straightforward choice when the outcome is not purely direct sales.
Best for: training, lead generation, trade shows, short activations, logistics and clearly defined event support.
An agreed delivery structure with part of our return connected to measurable performance. It keeps the practical delivery funded while aligning both sides around the commercial result.
Best for: consumer events and retail activations with clear sales targets, reliable margins and meaningful on-site control.
A shared-success structure where agreed direct costs are accounted for and the remaining profit is divided using a pre-agreed method.
Best for: strong product–audience fit, healthy gross margin, adequate stock, clear payment handling and enough sales potential for both parties.
A tailored agreement for several events, retail locations, trade shows or a wider activation calendar, with consistent planning, training and reporting.
Best for: brands that want a repeatable sales model, one accountable partner and learning that carries from one activation to the next.
Important: performance-linked and profit-share options depend on product fit, gross margin, audience, stock availability, measurable outcomes, operational control and agreed terms. We will not recommend a model that the numbers cannot support.
This table is a guide, not a substitute for a commercial review. A proposal can combine elements from more than one model.
One-off lead-generation activation
Direct consumer sales event
Retail activation programme
Trade show lead qualification
Sales training or coaching
Sales plus transport and setup
A useful quote accounts for every responsibility needed to turn up prepared, operate professionally and measure the result.
Event length, build windows, travel distance, accommodation, access restrictions and unsociable hours all affect delivery.
Team size, experience, specialist knowledge, management cover, breaks and expected sales capacity shape the resource plan.
Product complexity, demonstrations, compliant claims, objection handling, offers, scripts and reporting requirements determine preparation time.
Collection, transport, setup, card terminals, samples, stock checks, storage, breakdown and returns may form part of the scope.
Average order value, unit margin, conversion potential, audience quality and expected footfall influence whether performance pricing is viable.
On-site leadership, hourly targets, live coaching, data capture, reconciliation and post-event analysis create a more complete service.
Choose the closest options below. This does not produce a price — it helps identify the most sensible starting point for a proposal.
A sales-led activation with clear product economics may support a structure that funds practical delivery and links part of our return to agreed results.
No vague promises. The written proposal sets out the people, preparation, delivery, responsibilities, commercial model and payment terms.
Standalone event logistics and stand setup packages currently start from £499. The final fixed quote depends on collection and return locations, mileage, load size, access windows, crew requirements and build complexity. See logistics & build.
The exact calculation sits in your agreement. These illustrations show the basic logic — not a promise of a particular financial outcome.
We assess the product, audience and numbers before offering a performance-based or profit-share structure.
The goal is not simply to fill a shift. It is to give the event the strongest practical chance of performing.
These are the questions brands most often ask about day rates, commission, profit share, travel, logistics and what is included.
View all FAQsThe cost depends on the event length, team size, preparation, training, travel, accommodation, management, logistics and commercial model. We provide a written quotation after reviewing the product, audience, margins, objectives and realistic event opportunity. This is more accurate than advertising a generic staffing rate that may exclude the work needed before and after the event.
Yes. Fixed fees and day rates can be used for clearly defined sales, lead-generation, training, trade show, logistics or activation work. Where the economics and responsibilities are suitable, we can also consider performance-linked or profit-share structures.
We do not treat commission-only as the automatic answer. Events require preparation, recruitment, training, travel, management and reporting before revenue is known. A performance-linked model may combine funded delivery with an agreed variable component. A full profit-share partnership may be possible when the opportunity can support it.
We agree which direct costs are recovered, how revenue is collected, how discounts, refunds, card fees and stock are treated, how profit is calculated and when settlement takes place. The remaining profit is then shared using the agreed percentage. Every element is documented before the event.
A quote can include commercial planning, team selection, product training, rotas, on-site management, live KPI tracking and post-event reporting. Travel, accommodation, logistics, organiser costs, card fees and specialist services are either included clearly or shown separately.
That depends on the event and proposal. We show travel, mileage, parking and accommodation clearly so you can see the real delivery cost. For repeat programmes, we can plan teams and locations to reduce unnecessary travel where practical.
Yes. We can combine collection, transport, suitable stand setup, stock organisation, breakdown and return with the sales service. The scope, timings, insurance position and exclusions are agreed before anything is collected. Standalone logistics packages currently start from £499, subject to quotation.
Yes. We can support a single consumer show, trade show or retail activation, or build a repeatable programme across several events and locations. Longer programmes can use consistent training, management, reporting and commercial review.
Send the event name, dates, location, product, retail price, approximate margin, objectives, expected team size and any logistics requirements. We can then identify missing information and prepare a proposal based on the actual scope rather than assumptions.
No pressure, no unnecessary sales pitch and no long-term commitment.

We will review the fit, identify the real delivery requirements and recommend a clear commercial model. If we do not believe the opportunity can support the numbers, we will say so.
