What is endorsement

The endorsement is an advertising contract in which a professional (endorser) commits to using the products of a specific company (endorsee) in their professional activity.

Indeed, this type of contract is signed with the goal of leveraging one's image for the promotion of those very products.

The obligations concerning technical support and product supply fall on the company.

Furthermore, this contract also entails the payment of a sum of money by the beneficiary, with the right holder of a patent or property, the so-called royalties.

Endorsement Strategies

Endorsement is usually carried out by celebrities, influencers or industry experts.

The main purpose of this agreement is to confer awarenesscredibility and increase the visibility of the brand.

Therefore, following the line of these objectives, one can talk about or recommend the product in question with videos or photos on social media.

Furthermore, it is also possible to talk about endorsement when users or consumers online decide to share their experience using the product, contributing to word-of-mouth and improving brand reputation through a referral.

This form of support, both from celebrities and from ordinary users, can therefore be very advantageous for companies.
