 Modeling agencies have the appeal of glamour – it’s easy to picture flashing cameras, elegant clothing and beautiful models prowling a sleek catwalk. But modeling agencies help satisfy the needs of many different kinds of clients, including print, fashion shows, television and live demonstrations. Availability: The Models will be required to have flexible hours. And must be available for any job they are asked to do.

Cost: According to The Model Alliance, an outfit that agitates for higher wages, estimates that the average regularly-employed model makes $27,000 a year. The more work that is booked, the more money a model can make, however, the salary of the average working model is around $30,000 a year. Experience is also a big part of what a model gets paid.

Be prepared to offer legal contracts to models outlining their responsibilities, pay scales and access to your agency’s resources

 Cultural Issues? One of the cultural issues for our modeling agency is, although we are new and different, we have to be sure to capture potential customer’s likes and dislikes depending upon the location of where we are advertising.  Social issues? With today’s fast past of life, many costumers demand everything to be before them at the push of a button. With so much technology on the market today, our modeling agency will be working with programmers to help create apps and other online projects to make our modeling agency easier to access for customers.

 International Environment Issues? When going into another location, before we begin to advertise or sell our product, our modeling agency will take the time to study the environment in which our company would wish to work, in order to be respectful of the customers in the area
