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.
I actually STOPPED watching “Blue Bloods” on TV, because I think Tom Selleck is scamming seniors with his Reverse Mortgage ads. Hey Tom, it IS a way for the banks to take your house, cheap.
