Background of the Study
Television advertisements have long been a dominant medium for influencing consumer behavior and preferences. In Minna, the capital of Niger State, local and national television channels are frequently used by companies to advertise various products, from household items to luxury goods. Advertisers understand the persuasive power of visual and auditory elements in television ads, which can create strong emotional connections with consumers and shape their buying decisions (Oni & Alabi, 2023). In a region like Minna, where traditional purchasing habits are prevalent, television advertisements can have a profound impact on shaping consumer preferences. However, the influence of these advertisements on the purchasing behaviors of residents in Minna, particularly in terms of how they view and choose products, remains under-explored. This study aims to investigate the extent to which television advertisements affect consumer preferences and decision-making in Minna LGA, considering factors such as demographic characteristics, advertisement content, and advertising frequency.

While television advertisements have been extensively studied in other regions, their specific influence on consumer preferences in Minna LGA remains unclear. Does the content of television advertisements lead to a shift in consumer preferences for products in Minna?

This study seeks to bridge this gap by analyzing how television advertisements impact consumer choices and preferences in the region, and whether these advertisements are successful in influencing purchasing behavior.
