It's cool when I can get something they endorse at a good price, but otherwise it doesn't do much for me to make the purchase.

Personally, I grew up in a home with a dad who had a buy nothing attitude. He made lots of things and bought things second hand. My mom on the other hand was a shop 'oholic. It was nice to have both personalities. I like to shop but I'm critical of what I buy and I am now swayed by certain marketing ploys.Moniquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15282687047933057842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6894899490428676091.post-17672838610551465792012-05-02T19:46:17.595-04:002012-05-02T19:46:17.595-04:00I find this topic fascinating since I studied adve...I find this topic fascinating since I studied advertising in grad school. In a nutshell, celebrity endorsements work - that's why advertisers do it. There are people out there who will buy certain products only if a certain celeb is attached to it. For example, how many teen girls would rush out to buy a product that Justin Beiber is seen with? Millions! It's sad, in my opinion but I'm sure the advertisers are thinking that if it ain't broke, they won't fix it!Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18241940677038666398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6894899490428676091.post-52436715782474944152012-05-02T18:56:00.546-04:002012-05-02T18:56:00.546-04:00i don't go too crazy on that but sometimes I k...i don't go too crazy on that but sometimes I know some young girls want to die just to look like a particular celebrity., i believe that's wrongTheodora Ofosuhimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03459901216965225700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6894899490428676091.post-22668701992422965602012-05-02T17:15:02.526-04:002012-05-02T17:15:02.526-04:00I personally don't buy a product just because ...I personally don't buy a product just because it was endorsed by a celebrity, but I am guilty of buying something because I saw that it looked good on them while they were grocery shopping or pumping gas, etc.Nalihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16540467708093398435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6894899490428676091.post-71593698791400843852012-05-02T16:44:25.948-04:002012-05-02T16:44:25.948-04:00I am guilty of this..

HOWEVER I do it in a budget savy way<br />I would never pay 1k for shoes or a purse.. ( unless I really had the money) but even then I wouldn’t be able to excuse such selfish behavior.

In fact if I buy something its usually because I want it. My acne face wash for instance is probably one no one has ever heard of. Proactive pays about $1m for the endorsement of their product and I'm like you I don't believe the vast majority even use the products they endorse. I use what I like, from trial and error but not because of celebrity endorsements.Mrs. Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02764630042494209537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6894899490428676091.post-144842388477405532012-05-02T12:25:15.145-04:002012-05-02T12:25:15.145-04:00I can understand the value to advertisers of havin...I can understand the value to advertisers of having celeb endorsements, because even though someone may not run out and buy a product just because a celeb has endorsed it, it might at least get more people to look at the ad in the first place, which is their goal.

Like she's really at home with a timer, loose plastic gloves and bottles of dye doing her hair herself.
