While most promotional jobs require good communication skills and multitasking, some jobs don’t need you to interact as much with customers, and instead, would prefer you to have an intimate knowledge of your target market to effectively promote products you are responsible for. One such example are merchandising jobs. A merchandiser’s responsibilities revolve around marketing a particular product through the use of strategic placement of product displays. Typically, the most effective placement for a product display is at the storefront for passersby to see. Another great placement is near the entrance of the store so it can attract customers as soon as they enter. Product displays can also be placed near areas of the store where there is heavy foot traffic as customers walk about.

Of course, if you are blessed with great communication and interpersonal skills, you are better off with a job that gets you in direct contact with your target market. Companies offer promotions work through event jobs, demo jobs, and hospitality that would allow you to market the company’s product directly to customers. Fields sales representatives are an example that combines marketing and sales, where you explain the product to customers directly and push for a sale. The great thing about sales jobs is that you are often rewarded with a commission for each sale, which is a company’s way of motivating agents to really push for sales with customers they get to speak to. There are other benefits to fields sales jobs, such as compensation for travel expenses and such.
