Background of the Study
In recent years, online advertising has become a powerful tool for businesses to reach potential customers. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Nigeria, including those in Bunkure LGA, Kano State, have increasingly adopted digital platforms to advertise their products and services. This shift to online advertising has provided SMEs with a cost-effective way to expand their reach, especially in regions with limited access to traditional media.
Research by Musa and Bello (2023) has highlighted that online advertising can be an effective strategy for SMEs, allowing them to compete with larger businesses and grow their customer base. However, the effectiveness of online advertising for SMEs in rural areas like Bunkure LGA remains an under-explored area of study. This research will examine the effectiveness of online advertising in promoting SMEs in Bunkure LGA, focusing on its impact on sales, customer engagement, and brand recognition.

Aliyu and Hassan (2023) argue that while online advertising offers significant potential, SMEs in rural areas may not be leveraging this tool to its fullest potential. This study seeks to assess how effective online advertising is for SMEs in Bunkure LGA, providing insights into its benefits and challenges.
