A final area suggested for future research concerns matchups be- tween the spokesperson and other elements in the advertisement. Be- cause relatively few advertisements contain only pictures and a brand, the interactions between spokesperson characteristics, message claims, and product attributes from a match/mismatch point of view would appear to be an important consideration. On the surface, it might be supposed that complete congruency between spokesperson, message, and product would always be the preferred situation. Following Sujan et al. (19861, however, it may be that mismatches between spokesper- sons, messages, and products would result in greater attention to mes- sage detail, whereas matches would result in greater consumer reliance on affect toward the spokesperson.
