In
recent years, lots of sexually attractive females can be seen at every
exhibition. They are showgirls. Some records have stated that females are
frequently objectified and commercialized in order to satisfy the desire of
males in a patriarchal and capitalistic society. Due to the changing trends,
saleswomen reveal different appearances in various frameworks of exhibition. Showgirls
have become the key persons in the exhibition; their mission is not only to
soften the atmosphere penetrated by cold hard products, but also to attract
visitors, engage in customer relations, and achieve the expected turnover.
As I mentioned in the
Annotation2, “showgirl” is an occupation similar to general Ad model while
their workplaces are merely in Year End Party of the company, exhibition, press
conference, product launching ceremony and road show, etc. Showgirls are models
who dress dazzlingly with uniform, drumming buyers up for the products.
However, female legislators
as well as representatives of woman’s organization blast that this kind of
occupation exists the suspicion of implicating the objectification of the
females which also degrades the image of woman. They claim that the authority
ought to step in to help correct this social malady. While it just neglects the
marketing mechanism and the economic aspects. The commercial strategy is able
to promote business and the development of economy.
Grounding on the
research, showgirls do not necessarily attract consumers with pure intentions
to purchase their desired products, but they do attract consumers who love to
ogle showgirls or who just want to spend their free time at the exhibition. That
is, showgirls even capture costumers who are originally not going to purchase. Another
research, a demographic statistic, presents that those showgirls do attract
many students under the age of 25, and they were willing to go change their
purchase intention. Furthermore, most of showgirls have bountiful income. The
high quality of their economic capital promotes their quality and capability of
purchasing; and then promotes the development of economy which all in all is a
positive circulation of marketing. Showgirls absolutely create double business opportunity.
