Introduction
Celebrity endorsement has become an essential part of todays advertisement world.Every big brand is using celebrities to promote their brands.
This paper is the analysis of effect of celebrity endorsement on the purchase behavior of consumers. This study is carried out on 50 respondents from different courses in lovely professional university.
Review of literature1.Factors predicting the effectiveness of celebrity endorsement advertisementsSummary This research examines whether consumers infer that celebrity endorsers like the products they endorse, and presents a model using these inferences and other characteristics of the endorser to predict attitudes toward the endorsed product. 2.Celebrity performance and endorsement value: the case of Tiger Woods
summary:
An interesting issue little explored in the celebrity endorsement literature is whether or not the activities of a celebrity endorser affect company performance. We examine the impact of Tiger Woodss tournament performance on the endorsing firms value subsequent to the contract signing. We do not find a relationship between Tigerss tournament placement and the excess returns of Fortune Brands (parent of Titleist).
3.The equity effect of product endorsement by celebrities: A conceptual framework from a co-branding perspective
Summary: The purpose of this study is to outline a conceptual framework that can be used to organise and guide future research into how celebrity product endorsement creates equity for both the endorsed product-brand and the endorsing celebrity. The central thesis is that both endorser image and brand image serve as mediators in the equity-creation process of celebrity product endorsement.

4.The naked truth of celebrity endorsementSummary:This case study examines the use of celebrity endorsement in the formation of the retail image of leading European grocery distribution group J. Sainsbury, in particular, the process of transference of celebrity images to the products image. The incorporation of Jamie Oliver (well known as television celebrity The Naked Chef) into the promotions of one of Britains leading grocery chains involves a high profile campaign that has been adopted in order to imbue the companys products with an image of quality. The success of the campaign has been replicated in New Zealand by another grocery retail giant, Foodstuffs, who have also adopted The Naked Chef to endorse their products. The case draws on field research with consumers and key informant interviews with advertising agency personnel who identified the criterion for the choice of Jamie Oliver. The extent to which the market place recognises and consumers associate themselves with the image Jamie projects as a celebrity endorser for J. Sainsbury is explored.
5.Celebrity Endorsement in Food - UK
This report assesses celebrity endorsement of food since the last Mintel report was published in January 2005. Over the last three years increased media coverage of food and cookery has propelled celebrity chefs into the limelight. At the same time issues such as healthy eating, organic and free-range production values have come to the fore. The result is a much more complex, wide-ranging relationship between celebrities and food. No longer simply endorsers of food products, celebrities have become crusaders for the food sector, challenging consumers to think before they eat and resulting in significant changes in purchasing behaviour.
.6.How sports celebrity endorsements affect a company's branding
The effect of sports celebrity endorsements on a company's branding can not be underestimated. Usually the effect is positive however at times it can backfire and cause an undesired outcome. Throughout the past chundred and twenty five years or so we have seen sports and business intertwined in the advertising world and the relationship grows stronger every year elevating both brand and athlete to levels of public conciousness neither would likely realize on their own.

Celebrity Endorsement: Advertising Agency Managers PerspectiveThis paper has explored on advertising agency managers point of view regarding celebrity endorsement strategy. Findings revealed that managers see media clutter as the biggest challenge for marketing communications practitioners nowadays and utilise a celebrity endorsement strategy to overcome this challenge. A celebrity campaign to bring desirable campaign results must support a good idea and there must be an explicit fit between celebrities and brands. While deciding on a particular celebrity, a range of criteria are reported to be taken into account and these criterias importance was communicated to be very similar in the UK, but it would differ across countries mainly because of cultural differences.8.Celebrity Endorsement in Food - UK - April 2008This report assesses celebrity endorsement of food since the last Mintel report was published in January 2005. Over the last three years increased media coverage of food and cookery has propelled celebrity chefs into the limelight. At the same time issues such as healthy eating, organic and free-range production values have come to the fore. The result is a much more complex, wide-ranging relationship between celebrities and food. No longer simply endorsers of food products, celebrities have become crusaders for the food sector, challenging consumers to think before they eat and resulting in significant changes in purchasing behaviour.
9.Celebrity EndorsementsIt is estimated that companies in the U.S. spent $800 million in 1998 toacquire talent entertainers, athletes and other high profile personalities to spotlight in advertising, promotion and PR campaigns (IEG Endorsement Insider)Approximately 20% of all television commercials feature famous people.
Why do ads for some products feature celebrity endorsements while ads
for others do not? To answer this question, we develop a coordination model of
advertising in which firms choose both advertising levels and advertising format
ads with celebrity endorsements or ads without. We show that the equilibrium
formats are either ones that reach large audiences at low cost or that
coordinate well. The former provides a cost-based explanation for celebrity endorsements
that is consistent with experimental evidence showing that celebrities
enhance product recall. The latter provides an explanation for celebrity
endorsements consitent with evidence that they enhance consumer perception
of product value. For this latter case, we show that celebrity endorsements
are chosen for products that i) have large potential customer pools, ii) provide
large coordination returns to consumers or iii) require coordination across diverse
sets of customers. Our analysis also provides an explanation for the use
of fictional celebrities like Joe Camel.

Exploration is a particularly useful when researchers lack a clear idea of the problems they will meet during the study. Through exploration researchers develop concepts more clearly, establish priorities, develop operational definitions and improve the final research design. Exploration may also save time and money.
Sampling design: in this research we used convenience sampling. Non probability samplings that are unrestricted are known as convenience sampling. They are the least reliable design but normally the cheapest and the easiest to conduct. Researchers or field workers have the freedom to choose whomever they find , thus the name convenience .Analysis
