Rather than relying on models and talent agencies, these Santas may have their own website or work independently as freelancers.
When hiring a professional Santa for your corporate event, check his or her credentials. Ask for photos and videos from previous appearances. In addition, be sure to hire someone who has a current background check and performing insurance. GigSalad makes it easy to find this information when searching for local Santas.
