Who here is actually influenced by celebrity endorsements? Do you actually buy a product because some dumb jock or actor, etc. endorses it? If so, why?
Are you willing to pay more for a pair of athletic shoes or other item because some famous person's name is on it?
Do you wear jerseys with a player's name on the back?
Personally, I have never understood any of this and have never fallen prey to this sort of marketing but it must obviously impact a large enough number of people for the companies to pay celebs the big bucks that they do. I also wonder if the folks who do walk around wearing another person's name on their back are more likely to throw money away on products hyped by these same people.
