Abstract

Recently, celebrities have enthusiastically created their own business. Although celebrity entrepreneurs think that their credibility would enhance the customer's purchase intention toward the products of their business ventures, this study find that the effect does not exist; the purchase intention relies mainly on a customer's brand attitude toward the venture which is influenced by the customer's perceived congruence between a celebrity and her/his business. Being a celebrity entrepreneur is therefore riskier than being a brand endorser.
