Poker Experts in Commercials?
It has always been said that professional poker players will make good product endorsers. They are just like NBA stars such as Michael Jordan who earn a lot because of advertisements.
Certain poker stars have already made a mark so recognizable that we could imagine just what product they would be perfect for.
When you think of vacuum cleaners, the next thing that comes to mind is a salesman. Who else could be a product endorser for vacuum cleaners but a poker star who once had been a salesman himself. Such poker star is John Juanda. But do not underestimate this poker star just yet. He only worked as a salesman just to make ends meet, but he is no dummie. Actually, he is an MBA degree holder, and he might just pursue a medical profession once day.
Banks on the other hand may do well by hiring a poker star who is also a successful investor, such as Eli Elezra. This poker player born in Israel owns stores in Las Vegas, totaling to sixteen. It's a good thing to see a poker player who knows how to manage his money well. So when the time comes that he goes on a losing streak, he has another good source of income that is his business.
If ever companies which produce shaving products would want a poker player for their endorser, then it would be wise to get Daniel Alaei. Nobody else in the poker world could be more hairy on the face. He has this thick beard that has become his famous trademark.
If ever Hanes is looking for a poker start to endorse their underwear, Steve Dannenmann could be a very good one. Here is the funny story that makes him a good Hanes endorser. At the WSOP, the camera caught him on the phone saying that he has no more underwear. Ever since that day, no one could ever forget what happened. That would make a good recall for Hanes product.
One of the best looking poker stars to day is Shawn Sheikhan. He could easily endorse a male beauty product, or something from the fashion industry. Certainly, a lot of clothing brands are seriously considering getting him as their model.
Phil Hellmuth would be a good endorser for Kraft cheese. The tag line for his advertisement may involve cheese and wine, since he whines a lot. The commercial would be a big hit, after all Phil is one of the most famous poker stars.
