Celebrity Endorsement Effects on Purchase Intention

What is Celebrity Endorsement Effects on Purchase Intention?
Celebrity Endorsement Effects on Purchase Intention examines how celebrity endorsements influence consumers' intent to purchase products through attitude models and image congruence in marketing contexts.
Research spans surveys on TV ads, social media norms, and symbolic consumption in fashion and cosmetics. Key studies include Priyankara et al. (2017, 49 citations) on perfume ads in Sri Lanka and Park and Yang (2010, 32 citations) on celebrity conformity. Over 20 papers from provided lists analyze these effects across media platforms.
Why It Matters
Brands spend billions on endorsements for luxury fashion and cosmetics, where Priyankara et al. (2017) show TV celebrity ads boost buying intention by 25% in emerging markets. Park and Yang (2010) demonstrate symbolic consumption moderates effects, guiding ROI optimization. Ringim and Reni (2019) link social media endorsements to cosmetic purchases, informing strategies amid Gen Z shifts noted by Park and Chun (2020).
Key Research Challenges
Measuring Implicit Effects
Implicit biases in endorsement effects evade self-report surveys. Ülker-Demirel and Yıldız (2021) highlight attitude shifts via product placement but lack neuroimaging. Eye-tracking validation remains rare in fashion contexts.
Cultural Moderation Variability
Face-saving and conformity differ across cultures, as Park and Yang (2010) show in symbolic consumption. Priyankara et al. (2017) focus on Sri Lanka, limiting generalizability. Cross-market replication challenges persist.
Gen Z Anti-Consumption Trends
Gen Z avoids fast fashion despite endorsements, per Kovács and Zsóka (2020). Park and Chun (2020) note YouTube influences appearance perception negatively. Balancing endorsement appeal with ethical concerns is unresolved.
