Annotaion2 : Is it Appropriate to Use Showgirl as a Commercial Strategy?

Lots of people parallel showgirl with sex and instill the concept of moral degeneration into this occupation. However, we could just consider it as a commercial strategy. There are various ways of marketing policies, showgirl is just one kind.
Compare to Ad models, I think they have no actual difference with showgirls. They both possess professional skills as well as working attitude. Some might state that all showgirl need is showing their beautiful appearance without any professional knowledge; not so, according to a proficient showgirl, Pei-Pei, who has devoted herself to this work for eight years, she says that showgirl must undergoes series training just like those models. Furthermore, except for ability to make professional poses, showgirl has to steel their capability of being host.
These kinds of marketing do have affirmative results. Grounding on one research, the promotion activities with showgirls have a significant effect on the purchase intention. Showgirls assist selling effect and attract a large number of visitors, thus activating the atmosphere and increasing consumers’ buying. The findings of this research also show that showgirls’ physical attractiveness increases consumers’ intention to stay and to interact with show girls. The positive emotion display of showgirls increases consumers’ intention to stay and product evaluation.

 There are about 206 exhibitions in Taiwan every year, attracting many buyers and consumers visiting. For example, there were 1715 manufacturers participating and 120,000 consumers visiting 2010 Computex Taipei. Besides staffs, Show Girls play a very important assisting selling role in the exhibitions; they act as the main role like hosting, introducing products, dispatching gifts, filling in questionnaires in the marketing activities. Think rationally, “showgirl” is a good strategy that it not only helps create outstanding achievement but promotes economic development as well.

  1. I think show girls are different from models. Just as you say, show girls attract many customers especially men. They always dress less clothes in order to fascinate men's attention. In my opinion, it is a job which uses girls' young appearance and body to attract customers.

  5. I think that you can have some interactions with your partner when you are presenting. Showgirl mostly show up in the exposition about digital products or cars in order to appeal male customer, so most of people think this is not a good job. But I think you are right. It also has some economic profits.
