Background of the Study
Family spending patterns are influenced by a variety of factors, including income, cultural practices, and external influences such as advertising. In Bosso LGA, Niger State, advertising plays a significant role in shaping how families allocate their resources, from daily household needs to discretionary purchases. As the media landscape expands with the rise of digital platforms and traditional media, families are exposed to a wide array of advertising messages that promote consumer goods, services, and lifestyle choices. This study examines how advertising affects family spending patterns in Bosso LGA, focusing on the types of products and services families are encouraged to purchase and how these decisions are shaped by advertising.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Family spending patterns in Bosso LGA, like many other regions, are evolving as a result of increasing exposure to advertising across different media. However, there is limited research on how advertising directly influences family spending behaviors in the region. Families may be drawn to advertised products and services without fully understanding the implications of their spending choices, leading to changes in consumption patterns that may not align with their long-term financial goals. This study aims to investigate how advertising influences family spending patterns in Bosso LGA and explore the underlying factors that drive these spending decisions.
