If you were a celebrity, what company, product or service would you endorse for free?

[Chazmatazz269]

Lots of celebrities take the easy money with endorsements, or they’ll even do commercials or product placement. Meanwhile, we lowly peasants are not only paying to use the same products and services, we’re paying MORE than we should have to so that these companies can afford celebrity endorsement! Ell oh ell!
If you were famous, what company, product or service would you endorse for free? Exclude any companies you might personally own, operate or otherwise invest in.

There's a headphone company headquartered in Milwaukee (which was much more relevant to me when I lived in Chicago, but still) that has the BEST warranty I've ever seen; if you bought your equipment after 1989 (which I'm guessing is when the policy went into effect), and it breaks, you can send it to them with money for shipping back, and they'll repair or replace it for free. At one point, the headset I had broke, and I was going to send it in, but I was actually going to BE in Milwaukee in a few days, so I called to ask them if I could just drop them off with some money, and save on half the shipping, and I was told that yes, I could do that, but- BUT!- if I gave them twenty four hours' notice, and dropped them off during the hours the repair department was open, they'd have a replacement pair waiting for me. Completely free.

THAT is a helluva deal, and a company I've been glad to promote since, even though they're not paying me. Actually, I suppose they kind of are, indirectly, since them doing more business means they're more secure, and so I'm more reassured that the warranty will hold.

Either Five Guys Burgers and Fries (hoping I can get free food for life). They make my favorite burgers and I dislike that they don't have any Korean branches here at all.

Or Amazon. com. I don't have to like Jeff Bezos or claim he's any kind of good employer to his warehouse workers to admit Amazon does a damn good job with shipping products out to you. Even here in South Korea, I can usually get stuff shipped out to me from the US, in 7 to 10 days (without paying extra, since Amazon Prime only applies within the continental US).

I could get down with free Five Guys! Ell oh ell! I’m not a big fan of Amazon though. Their streaming service is decent enough, but they handle too few products that are made in the USA.

If a company wanted to make money off of me they would have to pay me. Then I would donate the profits to my charity foundations.

[Chazmatazz269]

Companies are already making money off of you.

Did you miss the point of the question? It’s about endorsement.

[Chazmatazz269]

Hahaha! Yeah, I understand the question. I posted it. Haha!
If you read the body of text, i describe the peculiar arrangement wherein we as consumers actually pay more for products so those companies can pay celebrities for their endorsements. So i’ve connected the points clearly. Unless you’re going to boycott every company that doesn’t offer you an endorsement deal, they’re going to make money off you anyway.
Also, the question was first inspired by “free plugs” on a podcast i listen to, and my mind wound its way around to brand loyalty.

I would have to be paid

Pioneer for home audio.

Streamlight for lanterns.

Springfield and Smith & Wesson for firearms.

[Chazmatazz269]

Lanterns? Like legit flaming light?
Or some of those electric set-down flashlights?

Like the streamlight seige 200 lumen lantern on Amazon. It lasts a lot of hours on 3 AA batteries. Works great in CA with rolling brownouts. :P

Your premise cannot be fulfilled. Money exiting at all will make free to be a lie.

Celebrities and rich people don't become rich and successful by working for free no one has

[Chazmatazz269]

Celebrities and rich people don’t stay rich without knowing how to work the economic system. “Donating” valuable resources, including time, for example. Ben Affleck gives more money away every year than most of us will make in thirty years, which is more than many will make in a lifetime. But if you’re such a grand wizard of finance, too good to fancy what you might do with excessive wealth, wtf are you doing on social media let alone answering such a dumb question? Ell oh ell!
Feel free to ignore my posts going forward.

[Batsy01010101]

You're right this post was dumb because if you calculate the percentage of his income by the percentage he donates it's far less then what you will believe

[TroyDT2]

Boss and Roland effects, Roland JC series amps, Ibanez guitars, Marshall amps, Elixir strings.

Probably the people that make Science Diet pet foods.
