Abstract/Description

The purpose of this research is to find the consumer perceptions towards female models and their necessity in endorsing products/services. Very thin literature is present regarding the topics as it focuses on the efficacy of female models in the endorsement of necessary and unnecessary products. An unpublished paper “Australian JBMR Personification of Female Advertising Models- Findings from Pakistan” has been of a great assistance. Moreover, there are several other articles and a book “Celebrity Sells” by Hamish Pringle, which have been referred for this purpose. However, these articles are more focused on the efficacy of celebrity endorsements in branding, methods to enhance it and the consumer perceptions towards it. No work specifically on the customer perception towards female celebrity endorsement and their necessity in endorsing products/services has been carried out as yet.
