paid endorsements

Compensated public recommendations

Paid endorsements are promotional statements or appearances where someone receives compensation for recommending a product, service, or brand.

Celebrities, athletes, and influencers commonly provide paid endorsements: The actress signed a paid endorsement deal with the cosmetics company.

Regulations often require disclosure of paid endorsements to distinguish them from genuine personal recommendations.
