Perfectly Petite, Inc. ™ -
You have questions, we have your answers!
1. What is Perfectly Petite, Inc., and what exactly does your company do?
Perfectly Petite, Inc., is a well established and reputable company of the entertainment industry. We are not a modeling "school" and sell no classes.
We are a full service non-union Model and Talent Agency in the Midwest.
Although we represent our male division just as fiercely, our company is known as the first and only Midwest Specialty Agency for Petites! We represent our Talent for professional paid work in; Print, On-Camera, Promotions, Voice- Over and Runway. We represent babies - adults. Although a speciality agency for petite women 5'7 and under, we also have a Tall/Runway dept for women 5'8 and above.
2. As a model, aspiring model or a petite woman, how can I be involved with Perfectly Petite, Inc., and do you represent Talent out of your Midwest region?
There are many ways to be involved and we encourage and appreciate your support and input. If you are interested in representation as a model for bookings with our clients, we need to receive your "submission package" directly by mail to our office for our professional review. You can also be involved by reading our articles, joining our mailing list, filling out our petite survey and enjoying our petite apparel line we now have available. If you have your own established company, we also work with and allow advertisers exposure in our on-line magazine department. Get the word out about us petites and get involved with us!
3. As a model or aspiring model, what needs to be in my "submission package?"
Perfectly Petite, Inc. requires all of the following information sent to us for our review; A photo or two of a headshot and a full body shot as well, a cover letter about yourself and a resume of any work you have done whether relating to modeling or even regular job experiences. Photos can just be snapshots for our review; however, if we choose to represent and market you, professional photos are a MUST in this industry. Any reputable agency that works with reputable clients will require these of you. Afterall, this is our marketing tool to show our clients, to get YOU work!
4. As a petite female, I was always told I was too short to be a model, how is your Agency different than others and how do you "guarantee" me work?
First and foremost we do NOT "guarantee" any talent work in this industry! If any Agency or organization does, I would run the other way. NO Agency can "guarantee" you work, the clients are the ones who make the ultimate decision as to who is booked for work. Your agent simply markets you and gives you the exposure you need to be seen by those clients. The so called "standard" in the modeling world is changing to showcase "real" women in the "real" world. With 80% of American women being 5'6 and under, we are the largest consumer market. Companies are starting to realize this and want to hit their "target market" and by "featuring" petite talent in their commercials and print ads, they are doing just that! For two examples; we booked a girl who was 5'4 for a national buyout billboard for Syngenta Herbicides and booked seventeen of our talent into national Best Buy commercials. We prove our point! As far as runway work, that is a difficult field to change, although hang in there petite women, we are working on it! Someday, we will do high fashion work as well.
5. Is there a fee to be listed with your agency?
No, definitely not! If our Agency chooses to represent you in this field we provide you with the best marketing possibilities. It's an Agencys job to market you to their clients, at no cost to you. However; we do have incredible "exposure opportunities" for a minimal fee for "extra" exposure to our clients, ultimately leading to more bookings with our clients. These opportunities include our, "Model Galleries" on our website and secondly, our printed Talent Book that is distributed to our clients for their files. Although these opportunities are "optional," they are encouraged to help us to market and give you even more exposure to our clients. Exposure opportunities and fees will be discussed with you if we would like to work with you.
6. If you choose to represent me, will I become a super model over night and how much
can I expect to make as a model?
A supermodel? Nine out of ten times, definitely not! This is an extremely hard and competitive industry to break into. Most models like working in this industry for the exposure, variety and yes of course, the money! Model bookings in this industry usually pay very well, although we would not advise you to quit your day job anytime soon. It takes more than just a pretty face to make it! Payment varies depending on the client and the work at hand. We have booked a national buyout billboard at $2,400 or more and cable TV commercials at $300 or more. Union work pays more than non-union, although, we would not suggest going union until you are getting many bookings. Once you are a union model, you are limited as to what non-union work you can now do.
7. How does Perfectly Petite, Inc. represent their talent and get them paid bookings?
EXPOSURE, EXPOSURE, EXPOSURE! Did we say exposure yet? Perfectly Petite, Inc. knows what it takes for our Talent to be a success. Without exposure, how would our clients see you? Some people think they will be "discovered" at the mall or walking down the street and the next day be gracing the covers of fashion magazines. Has it happened? Of Course! Although it's a very rare occasion and I wouldn't plan on it if I were you. Perfectly Petite, Inc. offers our, "Model Gallery" opportunity as well as the opportunity to be in our printed
Talent Books. We work with all of the casting and ad agencies, production and marketing companies, photographers and also direct clients. Our contacts are currently in the Midwest, however; we are making other client contacts outside our Midwest region as well.
8. What kind of industry work and clients has Perfectly Petite, Inc. worked with?
Our company has booked our models for industry work in Promotions, Trade Shows, Print, Commercials and Runway. We have worked with such clients as Best Buy, Coca-Cola, SHOP NBC, Great Clips, Pontiac, Toyota, Nextell Communications, Transcentral, American Crew, Gopher State Mortgage, Twin Cities Bridal Association, and Syngenta Herbicides - Lumax. Just to name a few of the reputable clients we have booked our talent with! Our Agency is growing very rapidly and we make new client contacts on a weekly basis. We market every department of our Talent fiercely and book them the work they deserve!
