Background of the Study
In many parts of Nigeria, women’s cooperatives play an important role in supporting rural women through shared resources, collective decision-making, and providing economic opportunities. In Birnin Kudu LGA, Jigawa State, women’s cooperatives have been instrumental in fostering financial independence and improving livelihoods through activities such as agriculture, crafts, and small businesses. However, these cooperatives face significant challenges, including limited access to markets, insufficient awareness about their products, and inadequate funding. Advertising is a key tool that can help overcome these challenges by increasing visibility, attracting customers, and securing investments. This study explores how advertising can support women’s cooperatives in Birnin Kudu LGA by raising awareness of their work, promoting their products, and increasing participation in their activities.
