Will you endorse a product because of quality or because of big money out of it?

If I am a practical person and on the shoes of an endorser, I will definitely endorse a product because of the money involved. But to be true, that's a bad thing. Actually, I'd rather endorse a product because of its quality. By endorsing means you are suggesting something worth the money you paid for the customers. If you happen to just endorse because of the money involved then you might endorse a bad product and it may cause some troubles to the possible consumers. You are lying to the consumers while earning money. Knowing the trend today, I think majority of the endorsers (if not all) chose their products because of the big money involved. Between the endorser and product maker is a relationship called mutualism where they use each other for the benefits of each other. The wrong perception of the people mass is that a product has goo quality only with it has a known endorser. Hopefully, these consumers learn how to look more closely to the product's specifications rather than their endorsers. How about you, what's your take on that? :)

I think a product should be endorsed because of it's quality, not how much money was invested on it. There are a lot of products that are getting endorsed right now that aren't really competent to others. It's just that they were being endorsed by famous people.

I'll go for the first option. People stay in business more because of what they give to people. If they offer quality products, for sure many will patronize them. This will give them a lot of money in return. Not only in business, in life we live by what we give to others and not just by what we get from other people.

I often wonder whether celebrities that endorse products actually use those products or not. I also wonder if they endorse for just the money, or because of the amount of money they are getting paid because of the influence they can have on customers to buy that product. You never know what you would actually do in a situation until you are actually faced with it. I personally would not like to endorse a product unless I believe in it and know that it isn't a scam or a waste of money. While I'm saying that now, you never if I had the opportunity and I was desperate for money what I would do. I would hope that I would still stick to my morals and reject the offer if I believe it isn't fair. I would accept a product endorsement if: 1) It's a product I've used before 2) It's a brand I like and can trust 3) The product works

It really would really depend on how much money I really needed. If I had enough money, like I'm sure many of these celebrities do, I would be rather particular about what I attach my name to. After all, the product's quality is going to reflect on me, whether or not it is going to be badly or otherwise. That is really just the way things are. I'm sure many of the stars are picky but I'm sure many will attach their names to anything, as long as they get paid remotely well. So really if I needed the money, I might be a little less particular to say the very least. Still there would be some kind of decent quality to the product at many times for me to be all that comfortable with really stepping forward for a product that I would not really use. Then again, the famous really are going to do what they want to do and its all about the bottom line. They really do in fact sell out for a lot of things for sure.

Well, it's a job. Certainly if it were something that would have the ability to actually harm someone, I wouldn't do it. But otherwise, I'd take the job to earn income. I don't think you have to have a huge spiritual calling to stand behind Pepsi over Coke or whatever to take a job.

I don't see a product as being desirable just because some face from TV or Movies is associated with it...it's just another paycheck for them,IMO,and they may be getting a freebie out of it,too..Of course,I can be cynical about the subject as the Check isn't in MY name!

Right now....im quite broke. Bucks are all i can see in this :D

An endorser with a conscience would do it on the basis of quality. Oftentimes, the general public tend to think that products endorsed by famous people are going to work effectively. Endorsing for the sake of money is selfish, thoughtless, unfair and could be harmful. People would be spending money on products that should not even be bought.

For me, I took that jobs for money

if ever i will be given a chance to endorse a product i will only endorse the products that i had tested. but of course being and endorsement involve a big amount of money which most endorser can't declined such offer. they endorse the product but they won't use it. becuase they rather use imported products than the local one which they are endorsing.

Well it would have to be great quality, because i would feel like its a lie, I cant lie, not only is it wrong but i suck at it. I mean i turn red, look left , laugh everything. Pretty comedic, and you'd think id be good at it since im an actor, but i really cant. But i would hope that the people selling theses things would have a sound product. I wouldnt endorse a face cream that says it'd do something great if i never tried it. Of course we do that with commercials, you eat a burger and you say its Sooooo good, even though you don't like it, but your CHARACTER does. But, when it YOURSELF, using YOUR name and saying i had this problem and this product fixed it, even when it didnt or you didnt try it, then i believe that is wrong. Fine line but it makes the difference. A character and yourself(actor), is like in a tv show, you play the villain and the villain kills somebody. You, yourself, never killed anyone in real life but your character did, so you are not like your character in that aspect. Or say your character likes ice-cream, the actor hates it, because he's lactose, but in that commercial the character is endorsing the product of ice-cream, while, you, the actor throw up backstage. Ugly analogy but it makes my point.

Definitely I'll endorse the product I really patronize.. You can convince others but who are you fooling? It is yourself. Celebrity endorsers should be true to themselves. If they don't like the product but they need it to earn much money, well, learn to love the product.. :)
