Does this type of endorsement affect your decision to purchase it? I don't think I've ever bought anything because some celebrity told me to buy it. I imagine they pay these celebrities a significant fee for doing the commercial but I wonder if it really increases sales.
No, I wouldn’t. The only exception might be if the product was endorsed by the GOAT, Tom Brady. After all, I wrote him in when I voted for the President in 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020.
