Jail Time ? What ! Lindsay Lohan's Has Nowhere To Go But Up

Another stint in jail won't help or hurt Lindsay Lohan's brand . Her markrtability with consumers is already so poor that even more time behind bars can't hurt her more than she has already hurt herself.

"I don't think going to jail or not matters  to a brand anymore  with Lindsay . Any bran d that was going to touch her with all of her troubles was / is going to do so regardless of werher she spends time in jail . For the most part , I think it's safe to say most brands aren't going to get close to her as there's just been too much negativity surrounding everything she does ," says marketing excutive Matt Delzell of the Marketing Arm .

Delzell's job is to pair brands with celebrities for endorsement and licensing deals and he doesn't see much activity in that arena in Lohan's future.

On Friday , Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Stephanie Sautner found Lohan in violation of probation  and sentenced her to  the jail time  and 480 hours of community service .

In light of the latest  speed bump for Lindsay , Delzell believes it is time for La Lohan to take seriously  the three factors that will help her rebuild her brand .

1)  Mahe a sincere , public apology .

2)  Keep her nose clean and stay out of the media spotlight for awhile . Time will be on her side .

3)  Have a successful project , a movie or even some charity work . Something !

Even when all three of these are checked off ( and make note that none of them has been accomplished  yet ) , it could be a case of too little , too late .

"Her brand is already tarnished and she keeps getting herself into the same messes so that it gets tarnished even more ,"explains Nelson Gayton , Executive Director and senior lecturer at the  Center for Managing Enterprises in Media , Entertainmemt , and Sports at UCLA's Anderson School of Management . "She has a persona these days , but that isn't necessarily a brand ."

Gayton believes that right now Lohan only brings value to a project as a star of 'Celebrity Rehab' or in a cameo in  'The Hangover  2.' But maybe if she c an complete the triumvirate of redemption  above she will have a shot .

"I wouldn't say her brand id sufficiently kaput that she can't do anything about it . Look at the chances the public gave Robert Downey, Jr., and he's won his way back with the public again ," Gayton said, adding the cavest , He is an amazing talent though , does that hold true for Lindsay ? Can she get her act in  order  and disprove perception of her as problematic ?"
