If a celebrity endorses a product...

[Jace]

Are you more of less 'inclined' to buy/trust

i.e. TV ad..BilliOn Thorton is 'hawking' for T Mobile

I just don't pay any attention to commercials.

 

[Oldeagle66]

Pretty much less, if they need a celebrity so bad, the product or service must not be that good.

 

[katlupe]

Nope.

Taking a class in college on Pop Culture turned out to be the best class ever. Covered commercialism and advertising games to get you to buy the latest, priciest most useless stuff they can. Convincing you it was a Must Have. I never followed the latest trends after that class.

Celebrity endorsement has no impact on my buying choices.

 

[Nathan]

Not in the slightest, just shows they're desperate, and if they're desperate they usually end up endorsing a sham product or service.

I ignore them! If anything, if I listen at all, it may drive me away from considering their products...

The celebrities get BIG money to do commercials. The companies wouldn’t pay it if it didn’t work.

It doesn’t attract me. I can totally ignore commercials. Mostly I fast forward through them.

If I recall correctly, David Spade said he bought his first house from what he was paid.

Of course some people will buy in to the celebrity endorsement. But I am too smart for that.

I mute all the commercials on TV - they are always full volume and this annoys me, celebrity or not.

I got a Chase Freedom Card in 2020 to be paid cash back and still use it all the time. However, after hearing Kevin Hart yell "cash backin'" on all their commercials I'm ready to turn it in. And don't get me started on Joe Namath hawking all the old folks' stuff. I remember when he modeled a pair of stockings in the 70's!

I am pretty much adverse to commercials in general. I watch the ABC which is a public broadcaster and the only adverts are for their own programs. Like others who have pointed to the celebrities being paid big money for their endorsements, I reckon the product is probably overpriced.

I never buy shoes or clothing with the labels on the outside and can't see the point of buying "merch".

Actors hold little sway over me, musicians more so.

Wish I could give you a 100,000 hearts on this.

Commercials, advertisements, constant Video stuff is just a pack of lies,
just like the Internets. It's like re-energizing a dead Lithium battery so it
will recharge, make sure to add a resister in that circuit.

I honestly don't believe I bought anything that was endorsed by a celebrity. I mean I do like Little Caesars, Domino's Pizza and I of course do shop at Walmart and various other stores. But there's nothing I'm dead set will not hesitate to buy if endorsed by a celebrity.
