Do Athletes endorsements affect your purchasing?

[bmur66]

No but I am also a big race fan and I tend to choose products that sponsor racing.

Eating Josh Jaqs, with Josh hot sauce, drinking Josh coffee, with a side of Bills ice cream wearing my Bills Addis…

 

Nope!

Would be a way better commercial if they showed that instead. 

[nedboy7]

Yes. Of course. 

[BarleyNY]

No. But sometimes there are commercials so annoying that I refuse to buy that product and encourage the continuation of them. Sometimes they have athletes in them. 

 

The only exception I can think of is that I’d buy Josh Jaqs cereal for my daughter because she kept asking for them.

I bought the Allen Madden Cover game even though my son's XBox doesn't take discs.  I bought it for $15.00 like a month ago.

I felt dirty buying Gillette products for a long time but Josh fixed that.

As an adult No but I was big on Nike as a kid because of MJ and then Tiger

The only endorser who ever affected my purchasing was Kaepernick. Aside from a Bills jersey which has no other option, I haven't bought a Nike product since.

   Nope, endorsements by known individuals don’t move the needle, being there is a 99.999999999% chance that whoever is doing the endorsements has never used or will never use what ever it is that they are endorsing, except as the contract stipulates. 
   They may very well have been given at no cost to themselves a bit of the product they are hawking, but likely sell/ give it away or their children will find it in the Garage when getting the property ready for sale after the inevitable death in the family…,

I've also avoided Nike since Kaepernick

[frostbitmic]

Rarely but I have bought Josh's cereal once so I can't say never.

 

I'm more likely to not buy a product depending on who is selling it. Brady, Gronk etc... forget it.

 

For the most part though, I don't pay much attention to advertising.

Nike comes out with an Air Jordan slip ons for old men and they tap into a whole other market.

Yes i wouldn't buy a dam thing that Lebron endorses !! But i think the athletes advertising like a lot of that is focused on the kids !

 

Taylor Swift not being a athlete has tons of Swifties all over the place and most are inder age but mommy & daddy take them to her concerts spending a S**T ton of money on tickets, & merch same with the professional athlete .

 

Mahomes, Josh, Brady, Manning, Bruce, all of them, who ever is "The Man" in what ever sport the kids will ask mom & Dad to buy them some of their merch weather it be for Christmas, B-Day, or just because they are being a good kid I've done with my grand kids & it's all about the money ...

[Albany,n.y.]

I've never bought anything or boycotted anything based on a celebrity endorsement.  It's always the product that sells itself, not the endorser. If the product was good, I'd buy it no matter who sold it-I don't believe in boycotts of any product.

I once met Travis Henry at a gas station here in Atlanta.

I walked up to him and told him I was a big fan of his.  He was nice.

 

I asked for an autograph but couldn't find anything for him to sign.  Then he reached into his bag and pulled out a 3 pack of condoms.  He said "I really don't use these any way."  He signed it and gave it to me.

 

So now I buy Magnum condoms just because of Travis Henry even though they don't fit.

Well, it must work because they spend a lot of money to get these endorsements.
