Celebrity Endorsements

[Bazile]

Would you be more likely to purchase a product that came with a celebrity endorsement , than one that did not have such an endorsement ?.

For example there is an ad on here with Mr Beckham , selling male cosmetics products

[MargoTester]

If I thought it would make my OH look like DB I'd buy it!

[cupid04]

Doesn't it usually cost more if it has a celebrity endorsement? Doesn't make the said product any better.

[Bazile]

I'm sure he looks better MargoTester

[Baldric]

I couldn't give a Monkeys about celebrity endorsement, they're only doing it for the money.

[Zacs-Master]

I don't think celebrity endorsement ads are designed to appeal to the AB demographic. Unless they're Thora Hird or Micheal Parkinson.

[cupid04]

Exactly Baldric...they could give the job to someone unemployed!

[237SJ]

No. And when I see reviews on hotels or restaurants that I would like to visit and the blurb says that various celebs have been seen there, that would make me much less likely to visit.

[maggiebee]

Agree with Baldric............don't think for one minute that Helen Mirren etc colours her hair at home - she's being paid to advertise a product and she probably goes to a high class salon to have her hair done.

[Jackdaw33]

Remember Katie Boyle and Camay?

[Prudie]

Not in the slightest, and anything advertised by Mr Beckham I'd assume is naff

[Zacs-Master]

Jackdaw proves my point.

[MargoTester]

My reply was tongue in cheek. I don't taken notice of of ads in general and buy what I know to be good or is perhaps recommended by a friend.

[Bazile]

so was mine MargoTester

[Jackdaw33]

Oi! It's not my fault I have a very good long memory!

[indefinable]

Henry Cooper once told me to "Splash it all over" and it stung like you would'nt believe... So NO I would not

[Old_Geezer]

Like a bee ?

[Jackdaw33]

Cooper has a lot to answer for. There are certain parts where it should definitely NOT be splashed, as I remember from when I was a 15 year old teenager!

[Hopkirk]

As long as the elebrity has big ones.

I rarely watch any TV with adverts in it, and the same with radio, although I sometime listen to LBC, after The Archers.

LBC only seems to have about 3 different adverts, which are constantly recycled.

[Jackdaw33]

I never watch the radio either.
