Charlie Spiegel describes making money at sporting events in Episode 316

Today I talk with a representative of a Texas company seeking Workampers to help at high school sporting events around the country.

Charlie Spiegel is the director of event merchandising for Pepwear, a nationwide company that provides on-site merchandise sales at high school championship events and music competitions.

Pepwear relies on Workampers to help run its traveling pop-up stores by setting up displays, handling transactions, and ensuring fans and participants can bring home memorable keepsakes.

This role is perfect for Workampers who are energetic, organized and enjoy engaging with people in a fast-paced environment.

Since events can range from a few hours to multi-day competitions, flexibility and the ability to work on your feet for extended periods are essential. Some lifting is required when setting up merchandise booths, making this job well-suited for those who are physically active.

Pepwear offers a flexible, part-time opportunity, allowing Workampers to choose how many events they want to work each year, and whether to stay in one region or work across the country.

The company covers various travel-related expenses, including hotels or RV sites, food per diem, and in some cases, flights or vehicle rentals.

Compensation includes a guaranteed base rate with bonus incentives based on sales goals.

If you love being part of an exciting event atmosphere, enjoy helping customers, and want a job that allows you to see different parts of the country, this episode is for you!

Pepwear’s traveling pop-up stores provide customized event merchandise at high school championships, music competitions, and other special events across the country.

Workampers who join Pepwear as PepReps are responsible for setting up and managing these temporary stores, handling merchandise, assisting customers, and ensuring smooth operations at each event.

Because of the nature of the events themselves, Charlie is looking for couples and families with teenagers. The events are too large for a solo Workamper to staff effectively.

Workampers can choose how many events they want to work each year, from just a few to dozens. Some teams travel extensively, covering multiple states, while others stay local.

Pepwear’s compensation is structured on a tiered system, which allows Workampers to earn a base payment plus bonuses based on sales goals. Some Workampers earn more than $2,000 in a single month working just a few events.

Beyond the financial rewards, the role admits Workampers to thrilling events, from championship football games to national marching band competitions. It’s a fantastic way to experience different parts of the country while working alongside energetic crowds.

If you’re someone who enjoys interacting with people, thrives in a high-energy environment, and wants a flexible job, Pepwear might be the perfect fit for you. To learn more, visit pepwear.com or contact Charlie Spiegel directly at [email protected].
