Common setups

Three clean ways brands book this work.

Retail opening

A two-person team can handle guest welcome plus product education when the offer is simple and the store flow is planned.

Conference spillover activation

Toronto works well for conference-adjacent demos or QR capture if the venue, timing, and talking points are already clear.

Sampling block

Sampling makes the most sense when the brand knows where the audience will be and what follow-up action matters after the sample.

Not a fit

When HGM is the wrong fit.

  • Loose requests that describe only 'buzz' with no actual offer or guest action.
  • Campaigns that need guaranteed standing crew capacity before review.
  • Asks that mix nightlife ambiguity with unclear commercial scope.

Before you submit

Good to know in Toronto.

Toronto usually needs tighter date and staffing windows than smaller markets.
Quotes get easier when the brand can name the on-site job: scans, samples, demos, or consults.
If you also want creator-style content, scope it at the start instead of adding it later.

What happens next

How the quote process works

  • HGM checks the business, venue, date window, and local fit.
  • Then we confirm team size, wardrobe, content, and guest action.
  • Then pricing, availability, and payment can move forward.
