Communicating a Promise of Change: Visual Steps Enhance Process Imagery
Advertisements promising positive change (change-ads) may employ before-after visuals (of the starting and ending points) or progression visuals (which include, in addition to starting and ending points, the intermediate steps). Although neglected in the marketplace, we show that progression ads are more persuasive than before-after ads in conveying change.
