Key Challenges

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.
