BRAND IMAGE
Brand image refers to the way in which consumer perceive the company and the brand, because every customer has a different perception about brand, designing a new brand is not simply about designing a log or a name. Rather, the image should send the consumer the correct message visually, verbally, and conceptually.
The image of a product or brand can do a lot for their sales. The better, more exclusive the image, the more the brand will sell. Brand image has a lot to do with sales and some of the better images always come out on top. The image of the brand is portrayed not only in the advertisements, but also as the consumer uses the product.

Celebrities endorsement
Celebrities add value to the image transfer process by offering meanings of extra depth and power, what is complemented by their life style and personalities.
It is evident that a celebrity endorsing a product gives the product an instant Brand Awareness and Recall. The values of a celebrity not only help define and refresh the brand image but may also cover up for the lack of idea in a products advertisement.
Compatibility of the celebrity's persona with the overall brand image is very important, as a celebrity imparts credibility and inspirational value to a brand and his or her image should perfectly match the brand's image. A good brand campaign idea and an intrinsic link between the celebrity and the message are must for a successful campaign.

The above points can be put to perspective by using two examples, first Kapil Dev's 'Palmolive da jawaab nahin' and second Nakshatra's brand recall due to its endorser, the gorgeous Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Both brands have edged out and carved out their niche in consumer's mind due to image and credibility of their endorsers. These were the cases of perfect match between the brand image and the image or persona of the celebrity endorser.
Cont..
The campaigns are not only basking with the glory of success stories, but there is considerable number of failures as well. Assuming that a person just have to be famous to represent a successful brand, however, would be incorrect and may turn out to be a very dangerous preposition resulting into a big calamity for the entire advertising campaign or the brand.
Cont..
Very well accepted and attractive super stars like Abhishek Bachchan and Amitabh Bachchan failed in turning their endorsements into success i.e. Maruti Versa similarly Virendra Sehwag also failed to deliver Reliance Telecommunication with the master stroke of his cricketing genius.
Cont
Celebrity endorsements are a powerful and useful tool that magnifies the effect of a campaign but the word of caution to be followed seriously; celebrities alone do not guarantee success nor does a great advertising campaign or the best possible product. It is the combination of several factors and elements that work together for the success of a brand and its acceptance in the minds of consumers as well as for its market offering.
