Endorsements

During their early career, the group were endorsers for several brands such as Elite Uniform,Nexon Bubble Fighter,Samsung and LG .Since 2008 they have been exclusive models for the Goobne Chickenand have filmed several commercials for the brand, recorded jingles for advertising purposes, and modeled for promotional Goobne calendars as well. Goobne Chicken has since become a strong contender in the chicken industry and attribute their success to the group.By mid-2009 the group members were models for over 10 brands and were chosen as one of South Korea's most sought after advertisers in a survey conducted by brand consulting research institute.Several members are solo advertising models such as Seohyun who is a model for Clean and Clear ,Taeyeon who models for A-Solution, a cosmetics brand,Sooyoung, Tiffany and Yuri as models for Biotherm or Yoona who models for S-Oil and Innisfree .Alongside Super Junior , they are also exclusive models to the partly SM Entertainment-owned retail brand SPAO.Endorsing clothing brands, online games,food industries,events, electronics, cosmetics and even products reserved for the top celebrities to endorse such as petroleum and credit cards , the group was considered one of the most sought after models in 2009.

The group continued to be active in advertising in 2010, endorsing brands and products including the Nintendo DSi and Domino's Pizza .In late 2010, a gift certificate company began releasing gift certificates each worth 10,000 won which featured Girls' Generation images on the cards, making them the first celebrities to be featured as such.Popular Korean web portal Daum also began using the group as models while remodeling certain services and search engines in early October 2010, and released Girls' Generation desktop wallpapers and screensavers for promotion, which quickly became popular.A survey conducted in December 2010, saw 409 out of 741 marketing employees choosing Girls' Generation as the model with the most influence over consumers, attributing their positive attention from the public to their vocals, looks and fashion sense.In 2011, Intel Asia announced that the group would become official advertising models for the company, significant not only in the implication that this is the first time Intel has used a model for their advertisements, but that Girls' Generation would represent the globalization of Korean cultural products.On January 18, 2011, Girls' Generation attended the showcase of 'Intel® Core 2nd Generation', unveiling a music video for the song prepared for the product advertisement, "Visual Dreams".
