Do you believe ads with Celebrities.

I have always wondered why companies pay big money to celebrities to advertise their products. Maybe I think too deep but I always think well they would say anything with the amount of money they get. Do you believe and go out and buy just because a celebrity advertises something.

You are right. Most people will say anything if they are paid enough. I can't do that though. If I don;t use or believe in a product I can;t recommend it to someone else. That is why I could never succeed as a salesman. I could never sell someone something that I don't believe in.

Well, it has helped for NIKE especially when they used Michael Jordan for their spokesperson. I have recently seen that they are even selling certain stars clothing now at like Macy's etc. Just to try and make an Extra buck. Personally most of the time, these products are way out of my price range, but I guess it what ever works.

I might be more apt to pay more attention to a product if a movie star I like endorces it. I would still do my research before buying however. I think is very smart to be procative and check into things regardless of who might endorse a product. It is only good business.

It is nice to see our favorite celebrities performing, but no, I do not get convinced that easily if they try to sell me something on TV. Sometimes, there are things that do look good because of how they wear these goods, but then again, sometimes it is hard to afford these expensive stuff. It is my budget that I listen to in choosing what to buy.

No I do not. They have been paid so their statements is not pure anymore. I also do not believe the great brand name. What I bought is what I need and proven to be good. Also if I have enough money to buy it.

I do not go out and buy things that the celebrities endorse. I would rather purchase something that was promoted by just regular people. To me right now those that are not celebrities could use the money from making commercials more than the celebrities can.

I personally don't prefer to buys things with a celebrity endorser. most of my friends don't like to buy it too. The worst for me is celebrity fragrances. I don't really see why they choose celebrities, I think it makes there product less 'classy' for some reason. That is my own opinion though, some people may like it. I prefer if they use regular models.
