If a celebrity endorses a product does it effect as to whether you buy it or not?

    For me ,if a celebrity advertises(endorses) something it actually turns me off,and chances are I will NOT purchase what they are advertising.--If I buy or do business with a company that has a celebrity pushing their products,it would be inspite or despite the fact that a celebrity is 'pushing' what the company is selling.

    generally anything we purchase is based on reviews of people who have used the product. i would not buy any product based on the way it was marketed period.

    i'll purchase it if it's something I need or want but not simply because of any kind of endorsement. I never bought a pair of wranglers and I love Brett Favre more than any other active athlete.

    If there's a celebrity endorsement, I'm more likely to not buy it.

    Often celebrity endorsements mainly influence the easily influenced.--Also I find alot of contemporary celebrities are more annoying than anything.--I used to not mind celebrity adverts,but that was mainly because the celebrities that used to(years ago) endorse things were much more likeable.The 'old' adverts never influenced me to buy the product,but they did not turn me off either.

    I'd have to be paid good money to wear Lebrons shoe.Otherwise I wouldn't pay a penny for them.

    I often do the same thing.Also often I ask people I know their opinions of the product or whatever I'm interested in.--

    To my knowledge, I've never used a product endorsed by a celebrity, unless shoes count. And Orville Redenbacher popcorn. Is Orville Redenbacher a celebrity?
