Background of the Study
Seasonal variations significantly influence sales revenue in markets worldwide, especially in sectors where consumer behavior aligns closely with climatic and cultural events. Nigerian markets, such as Mile 12 Market in Lagos, experience pronounced seasonal fluctuations due to factors such as weather changes, agricultural cycles, and festive periods (Okonkwo & Adeniran, 2023). Mile 12 Market, a prominent hub for fresh produce and other goods, reflects these variations in its revenue streams.
Seasonal demand patterns often result in revenue peaks during festive seasons and significant declines during off-peak periods. These fluctuations can complicate cash flow management, inventory planning, and overall business stability. While these dynamics are well-documented globally, there is limited empirical evidence focused on Nigerian markets. This study explores the impact of seasonal variations on sales revenue in Mile 12 Market, providing insights into mitigating these effects for better financial performance.
Statement of the Problem
Seasonal variations pose challenges for market traders, particularly in maintaining consistent sales revenue. In Mile 12 Market, periods of surplus production often lead to price drops and revenue instability, while high demand during festive seasons drives up prices, sometimes alienating consumers.
Despite its importance, there is inadequate research on how seasonal factors impact sales revenue in Nigerian markets. Without proper understanding, traders may struggle to implement effective strategies to manage these fluctuations. This study addresses this gap by examining the extent and implications of seasonal variations in Mile 12 Market.
Objectives of the Study
1. To analyze the impact of seasonal variations on sales revenue in Mile 12 Market.
2. To identify the factors contributing to seasonal fluctuations in sales.
3. To propose strategies for mitigating the negative effects of seasonal variations on sales revenue.
Research Questions
1. How do seasonal variations affect sales revenue in Mile 12 Market?
2. What factors contribute to seasonal fluctuations in sales revenue?
3. What strategies can mitigate the negative effects of seasonal variations on sales revenue?
Research Hypotheses
1. H₀: Seasonal variations do not significantly impact sales revenue in Mile 12 Market.
2. H₀: Contributing factors to seasonal fluctuations do not significantly affect sales revenue.
3. H₀: Mitigation strategies do not significantly reduce the impact of seasonal variations on sales revenue.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
This study focuses on the sales revenue of traders in Mile 12 Market, Lagos, examining seasonal impacts over a 12-month period. Limitations include reliance on self-reported data and the inability to account for all external influences.
