How many buy a product just because their favorite driver endorses it?

Question

I.e amp -JR Budweiser-Kahne Home Depot -Stewart Viagra -Martin lol

Answer 1

I only use Old Spice deodorant and Old spice head and body wash.  I drink Coke and Dasani and want touch any Pepsi products.  However we only have a Lowes in my town but when I go in there I make sure to wear my Home Depot Racing hat

Answer 2

i don't generally have a need nor do i go out of my way to find many interstate batteries, i don't have a dog so pedigree is out, and although i do like m&m's and snickers (and some of MMI's other candies), i generally eat reese's peanut butter cups. i have never been to a miccosukee reservation, although i do gamble at other reservations...  and i've never been able to find a "flanders beef patty."

i do shop at stater brothers, and at home depot - they are closest to home, but i will hit up a lowe's every now and then. i have AAA, i'm insured by geico, and i even started using garnier nutrisse (and i'm nearly bald!!!).  there are many products i use that do sponsor teams and/or nascar events, but not necessarily because i like their drivers.  i did call nationwide to compare car insurance rates, and only after they began sponsoring the NNS.  being in my forties, however, i doubt i'll be joining the national guard, army, navy, air force, or marines any time soon.

generally, i think it's good to reward companies that sponsor the sport i love, and if i can reward a sponsor who happens to back one of my favorite drivers, i will.  so, from time to time if i'm buying something i don't normally buy and for which i have no particular preference, i will often choose the product made or sold by a company that does support/sponsor the sport i love.  it's the 'merican way and part of the nascar lifestyle, no?

Answer 3

I do it all the time, I love Tony Stewart, so I will go out of my way to go to Home Depot instead of Lowe's(I like Home Depot better anyways). I drink Coke products and I love m & m's. Anything that has to do with JGR I buy. As for like beer I still drink budwiser, just like it better! I think all nascar fans tend to buy whatever sponsers their driver, honestly, I think there are like subliminal messages in the commercials!! Just Kidding!!!

Go Smoke!!!

Answer 4

I'm a Kyle Busch fan, but I've been eating M&M's way before I was even old enough to comprehend what NASCAR even was. But, I'm also a Tony Stewart fan, can't stand Jimmie Johnson (no offense, JJ fans.), but I shop at Lowes.

Maybe if Home Depot sent out the 10% discount cards like Lowes did, I'd start shopping there. But oh well. It gives me an excuse to walk in wearing my Tony Stewart hat and bug the heck out of a couple of the employees there.

I'm evil sometimes. Mwahaha. :P

Answer 5

Not me.  I buy what I buy because I like it, not because they sponsor my fave driver.  Example:  I do not like AMP.

Go Jr.>>>>

Answer 6

Well I confess to AMP-I never even heard of it before Jr so everytime I buy one it Kind of makes me chuckle-I only have about 2-3 a week...

My hubby goes to LOWES and we don't go to Home Depot as Much (no offense to Tony we like him too-ELDORA!!) But my husband is a big Jimmie Johnson fan and my son as well...too funny!

Answer 8

Nope, I go where the best buy for bucks is.

No product loyalty here.

Is Tony Stewart, or JJ going to pat me on the back and thank me for supporting their multi mega million $$$ sponsor?

I think not.

Answer 9

I dislike jeff gordan so i dont drink pepsi. I can't stand the Busch brothers, so there are no MnM's or miller light in my house. Matt Kenseth is my favorite driver so all my power tools are dewalt and i buy carhardt jackets.

Put it this way, you buy products that sponser your favorite driver and you just gave your favorite driver's team some money. Thats how these guys earn their money. Why would i help out kyle busch out alittle, by buying MnM's when i dislike him?

So if i want Matt Kenseth to do well, i go out and buy a power tool. i haven't bought one in a while so thats why kenseth is doing bad this year....or at least thats what i tell myself lol

Answer 10

i never go to lowes, only home depot, i dont drink pepsi, i drink coke

Answer 11

with so many sponsors it is hard not to hit some every day I too like to avoid certain ones, Lowes is top of the list, and Texaco, wont go to either one

Answer 12

I dont really  buy because of the driver, for example I HATE AMP but I like jr. I dont drink beer and I dont really go to too many home improvement stores, (sorry tony) But I DO love TARGET!!!!

Answer 13

I actually find myself doing the opposite.  I don't buy products from drivers I dislike.  But I don't buy products from a company because I like their driver.

Answer 14

I did buy Budweiser and still do cause I like Kasey Kahne.  i cannot drink Amp because it is bad for my heart but we are a National Guard family have been for 20 years and proud to be part of the California Army National Guard and have Jr. represent us.

Answer 15

I dont, I agree with the comment about going where you dollar makes the biggest bang.

Home Depot here is a joke, Lowes is better bet.  Besides, you walk into our home depot, Office Depot, Lowes, etc and the majority of the employees do not know who Smoke, Carl, or Jimmie is.

I have NEVER seen a single thing with Tony's number on it in our Home Depot store, so even tho I dont like JJ, Lowes is where I buy my tools!

Answer 16

I will buy stuff from The Home Depot because Tony is one of my favorite drivers. I will not buy or even go to lowes cause I HATE Jimmie Johnson

So YES I do

Answer 17

I do a little bit.  I have AllState insurance because Kasey Kahne is sponsored by them.  I bank at BB&T because Clint Bowyer is sponsored by them.  But, I moved across the country a year ago and had to find a new bank and insurance.  I went with them because of their drivers.  I didn't switch just to support them.

I also have an opposite thing.  For example, I  won't shop at Home Depot because I don't care for Tony.  I WILL NOT stop at a Texaco because they sponsor JPM.  I'd rather run out of gas, LOL!

Answer 18

You could say that.

For example:

I eat M&M's (Kyle Busch) for breakfast with a glass of Red Bull (Vickers).

Sometimes I'll have some cherios (Labonte). I do all my shipping via UPS (Reutimann), and I have a DLP tv (J.J. Yeley). I only shop at Lowes (Johnson) for my home improvement needs, and I take Claritin for my allergies (Edwards). I never buy gas at Texaco or Shell (Montoya and Harvick), and I go to Target (Sorenson) for supplies I need. My auto insurance is GEICO (M. Wallace), and I have a friend named Jack Daniels (Bowyer). That's about it though

Answer 19

it's not because my favorite driver is sponsored by them, I've been eating M&M's since before Kyle was even born..

Answer 20

I despise Jimmie Johnson but I prefer our local Lowes to the Home Depot---stopped drinking Budweiser after they sponsored Kasey kane, liked Amp before the Jr sponsorship even though I am a lifelong Coca Cola fiend--Viagra--liked Mark, don't need it, always a Goodwrench (Chevrolet--GM dealer) customer cause I own Chevys and enjoy their service.

Answer 21

ive done it many many times

back when Jeremy was sponsored by Mobil 1 i would make my parents get gas at Mobil 1

i started drinked Red Bull for Brian (although i havent had one in awhile boycotted it for AJ) and just havent had the urge to have one lately

some sponsors i can't endorse such as when Jeremy was sponsored by Dodge i wasnt gonna go get a car LMAO

i drank mt dew because of Jeremy and Brian but that doesnt really count because i have always loved mt dew anyway

i do it with NASCAR in general to i tried AMP bc Dale Jr was on the can and i wanted the can (sorry i didn't like it it was to sweet for an energy drink)

etc

etc

etc

you get the idea

Answer 22

I love Amp...and had never even heard of it before they sponsored Jr.

I drink Miller Lite because of Rusty Wallace...and no I didn't switch to Bud when they sponsored Jr, I just never liked the taste.  I shop at Lowes b/c it is closer than the HDepot.  Even if they were next to each other, I'd still probably go to Lowes though, not necessarily b/c of Johnson though.

Answer 23

I actually did start drinking Amp when Jr announced that they were his new sponsors for this year. I figured hmm I don't like Budweiser so I've gotta make sure that I like this stuff, just so happens I did(the new flavors are pretty d**n good too). I had some fun in my 9 years in the National Guard as well. The nearest Pro Bass Shops store is Concord,NC and that's a little far for me. My wife's a Smoke fan, but shops at Lowes, because she can actually find someone there(although she's usually wearing a Smoke shirt when she goes there).  As for Mountain Dew itself, I've been drinking that for years. Oh yeah and I do drive a Chevy, my wife however drives a Kia, and prefers Fords.
