Advertising is one of the best ways to get sales of your product. It really works, in fact this is the reason that TV shows continue to operate due to earnings in advertising. Long before people have been influence to buy certain products because of this adds. I am just wondering about the use of celebrities in endorsing products. This are utilized by all sorts of items from shoes, shirts, jacket, cars, sodas, practically almost everything in the market. Take a look at what you have, have you purchased any products or brand because you were influenced by this celebrities?

Well, that is perhaps the reason why, you have such skin and appearance.Of course this anti aging cream may somehow help you in such a way as to protect you from other environmental factors such as the suns ultraviolet rays. A lot of people also does not like needles though personally I really don't mind how people find ways or in what manner they want to look beautiful and young. Everyone is entitled to their own way. As for your case, you are very lucky and I wish that even when you reach 60, you will still look 30. Just live a stress free life, and don't forget to visit myLot, the fun and conversation will also brightens your day.

As said earlier the best gauge would be are the people using it. It might work for someone but not to you. But basing from your response, the things you are using most likely are working considering that your looks are deceiving. Hey, no offense there, consider that as a complement. A lot of people wanted to look younger, yet they fail. That would mean that you are a great success and I am happy for you. Might want to add something aside from the anti aging products.... enjoy and be happy always. Take care and thank you very much for the response.

Nope. Sometimes I'll even avoid that product if it's endorsed by a celebrity that I really don't like.

I do sometimes do that, depending on the product. Although this is just my opinion, a manufacturer of a product which is new would want to have the product introduce by a known celebrity to gain instant recognition and have good sales despite the product being new. Most likely, the product still needs improvement.I have encountered some of this some way or the other. Once they sell, naturally the company will gain and will have time to improve the product more. So what I do, is wait for a while and see instead of buying outright. In most cases, due to sales, they improve the quality.

LOL never...I could care less what celebrity is endorsing what product, if its something I dont want, need or am not interested in I wont buy it....and in fact I'd be less inclined to buy a celebrity endorsed product simply because they are getting paid (quit well too) to say its great, the best one ever etc etc....

Well, that is wise buying and thats something that you should be proud of. Why buy something when you don't need it or it doesn't fits you. We should choose products as you have said. Based it on our needs and wants not on who looks good on it.

Not in particular. I just see celeb endorsements the same as any other person endorsing.

That will only show that you are such a good buyer. You tend to look at the product more based on what the product is all about not on who is endorsing the product. And that is a good way to purchase. Besides we have our own ways, styles, and likes. This particular thing may be good and fitting to such person or celebrity but is in appropriate to you.

Celebrity endorsement does not encourage me to buy a product. The quality of the product will encourage me to buy the product. What the heck does the celebrity know about the product? They are just reading a script and cashing a check. I don't wear clothes with someone elses name on the butt either. That does not make the clothes better, just more expensive. Once again because some celebrity is cashing a check. Shalom~Adoniah

i'm guilty as charged. but i must say not all. there are a few things i buy because of those testimonials from celebrities. just some. there are more things i have that i buy just because i want it or because i badly need it -- and not because i'm a fan of the celebrity who endorsed the product.

You don't have to worry about it. For as long as you are satisfied with the product and it fits your style and likes, then it doesn't really matter. Each person has there own way of satisfaction. So don't worry if you are guilty or not, there is no such penalty, only satisfaction!
