User Sample
The issue of whether choose celebrities or ordinary people to advertise ignites a controversial debate. From my perspective, I strongly believe that the advertising of celebrities is much more effective. Asking celebrities to advertise enables companies’ products to attract much more people. It is widely acknowledged that celebrities always have celebrity charm, due to the fact that they are liked by many ordinary people, which causes innumerable persons to purchase the products just to follow the celebrities. Under this circumstance, only by choosing famous entertainers can promote the quantity sold of products. Obviously, entertainers are paid close attention by majority, thus the recommend of entertainers attracts people to the products and the fans will purchase them without thinking twice, just because fans like and follow their idols. In contrast, many ordinary people do not have exceptional appearance, so they fail to catch the people’s eyes in this rapid development era. On balance, there is every reason to believe that the advertising of celebrities sells much more products than ordinary people.
