Background of the Study
Sales promotion strategies are essential marketing tools used to stimulate consumer interest, enhance product visibility, and increase sales. In the retail sector, supermarkets such as Shoprite in Abuja utilize a variety of promotional techniques to attract customers and gain competitive advantages (Eze & Ugochukwu, 2024). These strategies include discounts, loyalty programs, and seasonal offers, among others.
The effectiveness of sales promotion strategies in driving customer engagement and boosting revenue has been widely studied in developed markets. However, the unique characteristics of the Nigerian retail market, including cultural diversity and economic constraints, necessitate localized research. This study evaluates the sales promotion strategies employed by Shoprite Abuja and their effectiveness in achieving business objectives.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the growing popularity of supermarkets in Nigeria, many retail outlets struggle to retain customers and achieve consistent sales growth. This challenge is partly due to ineffective or poorly implemented sales promotion strategies.
Shoprite, a leading retail chain, provides an excellent case study for examining the design and impact of promotional campaigns. However, there is limited empirical evidence on the effectiveness of these strategies in the Nigerian context. This study seeks to address this gap by analyzing the sales promotion strategies of Shoprite Abuja.

1. To identify sales promotion strategies used by Shoprite Abuja.
2. To evaluate the effectiveness of these strategies in increasing sales.
3. To recommend improvements to enhance promotional campaign outcomes.

2. H₀: Current promotional campaigns are not effective in driving customer engagement.
3. H₀: Recommended improvements do not significantly enhance promotional outcomes.
