These "real" folks are the ones that brought me in, not Hollywood!

    Default On signing a spokesperson

    Hiring a spokesperson just proves to me the product is in dire need of help to make it sell. There is no way a the endorsement of a sports person or any other individual is going to influence me to buy a certain product. In reality, that turns me off and steers me toward the non-endorsed product.

    I does for me if they have ridden them and sing their praises, show up at events and paid for it themselves. I also like product placement ( Being Human) I would like to see the main characters ride them. They only show up there in a 10sec drive through but I have heard some police depts. are starting to use them.

    Some come here to stay up to date. Some, for help resolving a problem they are sure others on this board can help them with. Others, come here to vent. Perhaps because they have met what they perceive a dead end to any resolution of their problem. In my time here I've witnessed three ways the later is delt with(in general). Some, get the full throated support of members while others are shamed, ignored, or ostracized. Then, they either disappear, fade into the background, or go on defense. A position that generally makes things worse.

    Sometimes we all need to be less judgemental, more understanding, and take a step back while putting ourselves in their shoes before condeming them.

    So when Nike endorses atheletes to promote their product line, its because they are in dire need of help to make them sell? Give me a break...some of you need to really read what you post here. before you hit the "submit" button

    Ron Burgundy doesn't make me want to run out and get a Dodge Ram...even if they are free (he is lying) Nike's claim to fame was MJ look what they charge for an Air Jordan. He helped the brand because he used them every night and worked his butt off in them. That is the difference.

    Seriously, you don't think endorsements work?
    They probably work for people who can't thing for themselves, or they think that buying that product they become that endorser's close buddy. Look at me because I bought that product so and so sells. Buying a Buick because Shakil endorses it, or a certain brand of underwear because a basketball player endorses it? Soft minds buy int that stuff all the time.
