Background of the Study
Nostalgia-based advertising is a marketing strategy that taps into consumers’ memories and emotions by associating products with past experiences, cultural moments, or childhood memories. This type of advertising often leverages imagery, music, or themes that evoke sentimental feelings, creating a strong emotional connection with the audience. The effectiveness of nostalgia in advertising has been well-documented, as it has the power to influence consumer attitudes, perceptions, and even purchase behavior by appealing to the emotional side of decision-making.
The Nigerian Bottling Company (NBC), a key player in the beverage industry in Nigeria, has long used nostalgia in its advertising campaigns to connect with consumers. Through iconic commercials, jingles, and familiar branding, NBC has built a sense of familiarity and trust with its target market. In Kwara State, where NBC products are popular and widely consumed, nostalgia-based advertising has been used to strengthen brand loyalty and drive sales.
This study aims to explore how nostalgia-based advertising influences consumer behavior in retail settings, with a focus on NBC’s campaigns in Kwara State. The research will assess whether nostalgia-based ads help consumers recall NBC’s products, enhance brand recognition, and stimulate purchasing decisions in retail stores.
Statement of the Problem
Although nostalgia-based advertising has become a popular tool in modern marketing, there is limited empirical research on its effectiveness in retail environments in Nigeria, particularly in relation to beverage brands like NBC. While the use of nostalgic elements in advertisements is assumed to resonate well with consumers, it remains unclear how effectively such ads influence retail store behavior, such as foot traffic, product selection, and purchasing decisions. This study seeks to evaluate the effectiveness of NBC's nostalgia-based advertising in driving consumer behavior in Kwara State’s retail stores.
