The Effects of Celebrity Endorsements towards Purchase Intention among Malaysian Millennials
Abstract
This paper also proposed to conceptualize the proposed framework. The results of this study will offer some valuable insights for marketing and advertising practitioners especially for local small-medium enterprises (SME’s) in Malaysia in regard to the benefits gained with the use of celebrities as endorsers. Furthermore, the study is expected to provide a better understanding on how celebrity may or may not trigger millennials’ interest in the products use and thus provide opportunities for practitioners to regulate marketing initiatives in their advertising strategies
