Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
The advertising industry plays a crucial role in shaping consumer behavior and promoting brands, particularly through the use of television commercials, which remain one of the most powerful tools for reaching a broad audience. In rural areas like Wushishi Local Government Area, Niger State, local brands often struggle with limited visibility and competition from larger, national brands (Ahmed & Adamu, 2023). Television commercials provide a unique platform to increase brand recognition and consumer engagement. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of television commercials in promoting local brands in Wushishi, focusing on consumer awareness, attitudes, and purchasing behavior. Television is a powerful tool in rural areas, where access to digital and social media might be limited, and local businesses can harness its reach to create a lasting impression on consumers. The study will examine how television commercials influence local brand perceptions, purchasing decisions, and overall brand loyalty among residents of Wushishi.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Despite the widespread use of television advertising, the effectiveness of these commercials in promoting local brands in rural areas remains underexplored. In Wushishi, local businesses often struggle to stand out in a competitive market, and many residents continue to favor established national or international brands. There is limited research examining how local brands can utilize television commercials to enhance their visibility and influence consumer decisions in rural areas. This study seeks to fill this gap by assessing the effectiveness of television commercials in creating awareness and promoting local brand loyalty in Wushishi.
