1. IntroductionPictures in advertising attract attention (Pieters and Wedel 2004), generate emotional responses (Chowdhury et al., 2008) and create beliefs about product attributes (Mitchell and Olson, 1981). In many instances print advertisements employ multiple images. For example, an advertisement for a clothing store with multiple pictures of models wearing the stylish attire available at the store. This research investigates the potential benefits of increasing the number of pictures in a print advertisement.In the marketing literature, only two studies look at the effects of multiple pictures in print advertising. Singh et al. (2000) compare an eight-page advertising spread with multiple pictures to a four-page version of the ad. Their results suggest that reducing pictures that do not generate relevant imagery does not decrease advertising effectiveness. A number of limitations are present with this study. First, only peripheral pictures are eliminated. Second, the images are spread out over multiple pages and presented sequentially, as opposed to a single page ad with pictures presented simultaneously. Third, the pictures are not separately pre-tested to measure the affect they generate, making it impossible to understand how viewers integrate the affect from different pictures into an overall response.
