Why famous people are used in advertising?

282 views

Sorry if it’s trivial but I guess I miss something really basic in marketing which I can’t figure out.

Why seeing famous person X drinking beer Y on some ad should make me buy it? Is this person it’s known for his good taste in beer? Is the beer as anything related to his profession?

I just don’t get it why do you I care for famous people in ad.

I guess the only rational idea is that seeing familiar face will get much attention and eyes for a second on thay ad

Because there are a lot of rubes out there that worship celebrities and try to be or act just like them. A lot of people also seem to think that just because someone is famous, they also happen to be very knowledgeable about anything and everything. So if a celebrity says something is a great product/service, a lot of people will just buy it.

So, using celebrity in advertising increases sales more than using nobodies.
