Daniel J Boorstin
Despite, the hype, the risk, celebrity endorsement is the most prevailing technique of
advertising today. The ongoing public fascination with celebrities today offers the
marketers a wide range of creative ideas in order to attract and charm the audiences
by stimulating their buying behaviour.
In a place like India, where Bollywood stars and cricketers are idolized, advertisers
see this as an opportunity to expand their markets and promote their brands. This
dissertation focuses on evaluating the impact of celebrity endorsements on the
purchase intention of these viewers and how this directly or indirectly has an overall
impact on the brand/product.
It begins with a literature review which gives us an insight of what the previous
researchers have explored regarding this topic. The core concepts and areas of interest
have been explained thoroughly. A research methodology has been structured so as to
carry out the research in an effective manner. This is achieved by adopting the
qualitative research method of in-depth interviews with the Indian consumers who
have explained the way celebrity endorsements have been interpreted by them in their
daily lives.
This study has disclosed impressive insights into the topic which examines
differences between endorsements with celebrities and corresponding endorsements
with non-celebrities. The extent to which the media recognises the risks encountered
by celebrity advertising has been discussed. It is quite fascinating to see how viewers
relate themselves to these popular celebrities and how this new technique creates
desire for the product in the minds of the consumers. |
