The disadvantages are many hiring celebrities to promote business. But one of is that “they don’t know and use those products they are promoting.
It’s simply misguiding customers and taking advantages of their fan following to buy the products of that company. And because of this, companies are able to sell fake and low-quality products through celebrities.
I am not against brand promotion through celebrity; I am just telling it can be manipulated to cheat people.
But do you know about the most successful companies, high-quality products, higher in cost and great in profits? I think you know!
Steve Jobs market his products by themselves. Baba Ramdev uses his own image to advertise Pantajali Ayurved products by its own by TV and Products banner. What do you think? They also hired others too. But because they have beliefs and know that their products quality and values. And you can see in advertisement their confidence is higher than other product promoters in the advertisements.
That’s why I think you’re the best celebrity to promote your products. Because you created that, you know how it works, you know the quality of your products, you’re connected with your business emotional and purposefully that’ why you have to promote your products own without spending money on Celebrities or stock images. It’s challenging marketing strategy but you will get the higher conversion, more sells and more profit in low cost.
