Chances are, you own something that was endorsed by a celebrity; whether you bought it for that reason or not. In today's society, celebrity endorsements are becoming more and more popular. Currently, nearly every celebrity endorses at least one product which is seen by the average person. This could include the Jordan brand from Michael Jordan, UGGs for men by Tom Brady, Diet Pills by Kim Kardashian and Gatorade through Robert Griffin III. In some of these cases, these celebrities endorse more than one brand. Celebrities pose as a figure of what to aspire to for some people, and many times their fans will buy the product simply because they have seen their favorite celebrity endorsing it. This however, does not mean that the product is supported by that celebrity or that the product is better than others. There are cases when the celebrity simply endorses a product to gain their own personal benefit, a fat paycheck. This is the company's way of selling their product to a larger demographic by having the product endorsed by a popular celebrity.
Do you think that celebrity endorsements are a proper way of selling a product? Do you agree with celebrities endorsing products?
