Trustworthiness, expertise, attractiveness, respect, and similarity are the essential components of the TEARS (Trustworthiness, Expertise, Attractiveness, Respect, Similarity) model. These productive dimensions are illustrated in this article regarding production and entertainment.
Trustworthiness
It is the initial aspect of the TEARS model and the initial aspect of the credible endorser. It can be referred to as the productive perception and belief of the production and entertainment that can be shaped efficiently through believability, integrity, and honesty of the endorser. The lavish lifestyle of the celebrity (production and entertainment) is reflected through various means of media, which creates a positive perception of the celebrity that the endorsing corporation efficiently utilizes to attain the trust of the targeted audience.
Trustworthiness is a crucial aspect of the potential credibility that allows brands to influence the behavior of the targeted consumers. It is vital for the brand to have this potential dimension of trust. An absence of this aspect will make another dimension of credible sources ineffective and unproductive and will not be able to transform consumers’ perceptions. Production and entertainment houses tend to be more honest than the non-celebrities, as they live a transparent life due to the high interference of the media. This trait of celebrity allows them and endorsers to create trust between the brand and the consumers. This allows various advertising entities to attract potential consumers to their products.
Expertise
Expertise is another vital dimension of the source of credibility and the second potential aspect of the TEARS model. It is a crucial aspect that refers to the ability of the endorser that is enhanced with the potential aspects like knowledge, information, skills, and experience regarding the endorsed brand’s product or services. Production and entertainment firms are termed experts when they can endorse a product to the targeted audience in a productive way.
The affinity between validity and expertise of the celebrity as it assists the brand in transferring appropriate and accurate information regarding the endorsed product.
The star needs to share appropriate and accurate information regarding the product innovatively, as a maximum number of individuals is attracted towards the products due to the celebrity.
Attractiveness (Physical attractiveness)
Attractiveness is another potential aspect that is comprised of physical attractiveness, similarity, and respect. Attractive is an essential component that allows the brand to attract various consumers and effectively shape their behavior.
Physical attractiveness is a part of the TEARS model that is referred to various physical aspects from production and entertainment houses. Personality, characteristics, lifestyle, and skills are the potential attractive traits that perceive the attention of media. It is evident that endorsers having attractive traits proves to be productive. One of the biggest reasons for this positive result is that consumers will have traits like the endorsers. Only excellent and attractive traits are insufficient to produce productive results, as communicating appropriate and accurate information is more vital. Production and entertainment firms effectively associate celebrities with endorsing products efficiently. In this process, involvement of a high amount is observed. Physical appearance and attractiveness are essential components that tend to drive the need of the consumer and transform their purchase intention.
Respect
Production and entertainment houses and celebrities are often respected for their effective and productive work in their respective field. For instance, the actor is appreciated for their acting, politicians are appreciated for their work, and sportsmen are appreciated and respected for their abilities. Their audience’s personalities who are respected and appreciated tend to become more productive endorsers, as they already have a fan base that follows them.
The influential association between the respected and appreciated celebrity with the advertising entity or brand allows them to enhance the brand’s equity. It tends to transfer traits of celebrities to the brand from which consumers provide the same respect and appreciation to the band. It is vital for the production and entertainment agencies to have an affinity with respected celebrities, as it tends to transform the behavior of the consumers most productively. One of the reasons for their productiveness can be their constant productive appearance on the media that tends to increase their fan base, which is eventually converted as potential consumers by various endorsing agencies.
Similarity
Similarity can refer to the similar aspects observed in the targeted audience and the selected celebrity endorser. Those similar aspects can be age, ethnicity, religion, gender, etc. It allows the targeted audience to find some similar traits in the personality or life of the endorser, which tends to attract the consumers positively and productively. The ethnicity of the celebrity endorser plays a vital role in the effective endorsement of the brand as various individuals of the same ethnicity tend to connect with the endorser and the brand in an efficient manner. Effectiveness in this process can enable endorsers to attract a maximum number of audience members because product branding will produce valuable results.
Ethnicity is an aspect that the endorser efficiently utilizes; most of the endorser treats this aspect as a valuable and operative resource. It provides productive assistance to the advertising and marketing entities to create an operative factor of trust. Trustworthiness is an operative tool that the endorser can use to manipulate the behavior of consumers and production and entertainment houses in a positive way.
