Book Analyzing Parasocial Influence of Celebrity Endorsement

Download or read book Analyzing Parasocial Influence of Celebrity Endorsement written by Inessa Lotonina and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-21 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social media plays an important part in modern society. Marketing professionals started to pay attention to social media in search for new ways to promote products and services online. One of the most recognized ways to promote the product is with the use of celebrity endorsement. Marketing scholars pinpointed that using celebrity endorsement for reaching Millennial consumers is very effective. During the process of endorsement, a publicly recognized person promotes the product by appearing with it in an advertisement. Celebrities appeared in product promotion ever since television set has become a necessary household item. Television viewers were highly interested in celebrities and researchers attempted to explain why the viewers are so captivated by them. In 1956, Horton and Wohl invented parasocial interactions theory to explain the phenomenon of fascination with celebrities. Horton and Wohl were the first to suggest that celebrities are effective in product promotion due to viewers' aspiration to be more similar to them.The purpose of this thesis is to explore how parasocial interactions shape consumer behavior of Russian Millennials. The research will pay close attention to psychological undertones of publicly recognized individuals' persuasion on their followers that influences their consumer behavior. Parasocial interactions between celebrity and their followers constitutes the research phenomenon of this thesis. Parasocial influence on consumers is still not clearly explained by the theoretical knowledge. An attempt to address this issue was made by parasocial interactions theory as well as by endorser source effect literature. However, recent research articles regarding parasocial interactions point out that new social media context creates a need for further investigation. Semi-structured interviews were used in this research, with overall twelve participants from Russia. All participants were female Millennials aged 25-28. Seven reoccurring themes were identified from the interview data, showcasing how parasocial interactions influenced consumer behavior of social media followers. These themes include pursuing celebrity experience, establishing high level of trust with celebrity, pursuing self-transformation through meaning-based consumption, adopting celebrity's lifestyle and habits, fulfilling the need to belong, stepping outside the consumption comfort zone and actively pursuing higher level of attractiveness. This research contributes to both parasocial interactions and celebrity endorsement literature by providing consumers' perspective on persuasiveness of social media endorsements. It was revealed that followers see celebrities that they emotionally engage with as trustable individuals and are willing to purchase their products without hesitation. As followers are open to try new products, it creates wide possibilities for marketers to utilize celebrity endorsement to its full potential. The biggest opportunity can be identified in endorsement of beauty and fashion products, since followers revealed great interest in enhancing their physical appearance. However, followers' trust must be maintained by celebrities choosing endorsements wisely and not engaging with promotion of non-related products.

This book was released on 2005-12-15 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2005 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 1,3, Technical University of Chemnitz, course: Seminar, language: English, abstract: Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Heidi Klum, Günther Jauch, Thomas Gottschalk, they have all something in common. They are famous due to their public appearance and achievements in sport, television, magazines etc. Additionally, all of them are promoting or endorsing prod-ucts. The use of famous spokesperson or celebrities in marketing communications in the United States is growing since the late 1970’s and has reached a percentage of nearly 25% at the end of the 1990’s. Statistics for the german market also suggest an increased use of fa-mous testimonials, although their percentage relative to other communication strategies is seen as lower. Some researchers contend a positive economic effect of celebrity endorse-ments despite they are very expensive. Noticing that endorsement contracts with celebrities are expensive raises several questions. What makes them so interesting for companies? Why are marketeers using celebrities instead of “normal” people? For executive directors it may be useful to know how the “right” celebrity could be selected from the big crowd of popular per-sons. Furthermore, which are the factors predicting wether a celebrity is effective or not as an endorser? From a more scientific point of view, it is interesting to shed light to the processes through which consumers perceive advertisements with celebrities. As the title of this study suggests, these questions are answered in a somehow theoretical way, but with some practical conclusions. Chapter 2 explains to which extent the celebrity may be part of the communication process and which effectiveness criteria exist. Having defined and classified the main concepts of this paper in chapter 2, which are celebrity endorsement and schemas, some models that are related to celebrity endorsements are explained. Research of celebrity endorsement has focused mainly on four different approaches. First, the characteris-tics of an endorser as a source of information, divided in attractiveness (3.1) and credibility (3.2). Additionally, Match-Up between product and endorser characteristics are examined (3.3). Finally, in a more comprehensive model, researchers investigated in transfer of mean-ings from celebrities to products and then to consumers (3.4). This study will end with some limitations and expectations to further research.
