Description

We are Shinesty. Our mission is to force the world to take itself less seriously. We make outlandish clothing—from retro ski suits to Hawaiian shirts to our famous Ball Hammock® underwear. We make people laugh first and sell second. Our mothers don't always approve of what we do, but the millions of people we've entertained over the years do. We're bringing the chaos to the Great Minnesota Get-Together, and we need confident, extroverted go-getters to be the face of Shinesty at our booth. The Role We need a crew of brand ambassadors to run our booth at the Minnesota State Fair. You aren't just ringing up shirts; you're a crowd-gatherer, a hype-person, and a closer. If you can strike up a conversation with a stranger, make them laugh, and seamlessly upsell them on matching apparel, we want you. What You’ll Be Doing: Selling: Hooking in foot traffic, pitching our gear, and closing sales like a champion. Entertaining: Engaging customers with a smile, a joke, and a positive attitude. Booth Management: Handling setup, teardown, and keeping the merchandise looking sharp and restocked throughout the chaos of the event. Representing: Acting as the ultimate hype-person for the Shinesty brand in the wild. The Details: Dates: Wednesday, Aug 26 – Monday, Sept 8 (14 days — it's one of the biggest fair in the country and it does not stop!) Hours: Booth hours ~9 AM–9 PM daily - with set up and tear down Schedule: We're building a rotating shift schedule — tell us your availability across the run. Who You Are: A Natural Seller: You have retail, event, or direct sales experience and a quantifiable track record of crushing goals. Incredibly Likable: You are extroverted, get energy from crowds, and don't take yourself too seriously. A Hustler: You are willing to stand on your feet, handle the elements, and grind out long weekend hours for the love of the sale (and the commission). Reliable: You show up on time, communicate clearly, and take ownership of your booth. Compensation: This is a 1099 Contractor role (no employee benefits). $20/hour + 5% commission on your sales. Pay is heavily tied to your hustle — the better you sell, the better you do.
