The problem I'm having with MM is getting the info. Since they have no website, there's no where to check. Who they decide to send emails to or who not to is beyond me. I once found out about a standee because a friend who got an email forwarded it to me. He had signed up with them, but has yet to do any work for them. Where I've been doing the work and actively been trying to find out what's going on, yet never got an email.
So if you don't get an email, apparently the only other way to find out if there is work, is if they by chance call you. Maybe that works in areas that only have a few theaters. Basically they are just calling to see if you want to do it. But I live in an area that I could potentially do as many as 30 different theaters. And then for the metropolitan area, all the little cities could go by over 15 different names. So somebody calling from NY who has no clue of the area, it really doesn't work. Whether I can do a location depends. Most important thing is how much does the standee pay? I'm not driving 45 miles for a $12 standee. But for a $60 standee, when do you want it done? But if I can put a route together of 4-6 locations, then maybe I can do the one 45 miles away for $12. They need to work out something better on how to assign stuff. Or even to just get the info out.
One problem I'm seeing though since CFA got the boot, the clients are dividing stuff up between at least 2 different companies in my area. How they decide who gets what is beyond me. Sometimes they have both companies doing the same standee but at different locations. And then they are waiting till the last minute to decide who gets what. So it's forcing MM at the last second trying to get the word out.
As I mentioned before MM is paying 50% more than CFA was for standees. Considering there is a skill to it and you have to know what you are doing, it's about time somebody is paying what it is worth. I'm more than happy with MM's pay rate for standees. Now if I can just get the info.
