In today’s world, brand ambassadors play a crucial role in the success of events. They are an essential part of any marketing campaign, providing a human face to the brand and making a more personal connection with potential customers. In this post, we will go through what a brand ambassador does, and what brands should look for when implementing this form of marketing into their organization! 

What is a brand ambassador?

A brand ambassador is someone who represents a brand at an event or in a specific campaign. They are hired to increase awareness of the brand, generate leads, and ultimately, increase sales. Brand ambassadors at CEA Staffng are outgoing and personable, knowledgeable about the brand they represent, and passionate about making each event or activation successful! Brand ambassadors can provide a variety of services, from talking with potential customers, handing out merchandise, or even serving products or samples! 

Why are brand ambassadors important?

CEA brand ambassadors are important for a number of reasons. Our brand ambassadors work hard to bring a personal touch to marketing campaigns, creating a more human connection with potential customers. They can also help to build trust and credibility for the brand, as people are more likely to trust recommendations from someone they know or admire. People are likely to trust a person talking with them about why a product is worth buying compared to seeing a commercial telling them similar things! 

How to select the right brand ambassadors?

When selecting brand ambassadors, it’s important to consider a few key factors. All ambassadors should be passionate about the brand they are representing. This will help them to be more effective in their role, as they will be genuinely excited about the brand and its products or services. Brand ambassadors should also be outgoing and friendly. They will be interacting with potential customers, so it’s important that they are approachable and easy to talk to. Finally, ambassadors should have some knowledge or expertise in the industry or niche that the brand operates in. This will help them to answer questions and provide useful information to potential customers. CEA Staffing works hard to identify the right people for a job! We have a network of 13,000 brand ambassadors nationwide and we diligently select the people who are passionate about the product or event, and who we feel match the client’s needs the best! 

How to train brand ambassadors?

Training is an important part of preparing brand ambassadors for their role. They should be given a thorough briefing on the brand, its values, products or services, and target audience. They should also be given a clear understanding of their role and what is expected of them. It’s also a good idea to provide ambassadors with some training in basic marketing and sales techniques. This can include things like how to approach potential customers, how to engage them in conversation, and how to make a sales pitch. At CEA, we are in direct communication with our ambassadors and the client, so we can ensure that everyone is on the same page and understands expectations before the event occurs. Even during the event, ambassadors can reach out to our team for any clarification or assistance!

How to measure the success of brand ambassadors?

Measuring the success of brand ambassadors can be challenging, but there are a few metrics that can be used. These include things like the number of leads generated, the number of sales made, and the level of engagement with potential customers. It’s also important to gather feedback from both ambassadors and customers. This can help to identify areas for improvement and ensure that the campaign is achieving its goals. We accomplish this by offering all our BAs to take a post-survey test after they work on an event. This survey lets us know what we can do better, and also lets the brand know some areas of improvement or success from the ambassador’s point of view!

Overall, CEA brand ambassadors play a critical role in the success of events. They bring a personal touch to marketing campaigns and can help to build trust and credibility for the brand. Selecting the right ambassadors, providing thorough training, and measuring success are all important factors to consider when running a brand ambassador campaign.
