What is one of the purposes of an endorsement in advertising?

To reduce costs
To increase brand awareness
To diversify product lines
To limit market outreach

The correct answer is: To increase brand awareness

An endorsement in advertising primarily serves to increase brand awareness. By associating a product or service with a well-known figure, such as a celebrity or influencer, the brand leverages the established recognition and trust that the endorser has with the audience. This can significantly enhance the visibility of the product, capturing the attention of both the endorser’s followers and potential customers who may not have previously been aware of the brand. In addition, endorsements often convey a degree of credibility, as consumers may be more likely to trust a product recommended by someone they admire or respect, which further amplifies brand awareness and can lead to increased consumer interest and sales. This mechanism is increasingly vital in crowded markets where standing out to potential customers can be challenging. While other options may relate indirectly to advertising strategies, they do not align with the primary function of endorsements, which is to promote and enhance recognition of the brand in the marketplace.
