Background of the Study
Emotional branding refers to the practice of creating a deep, emotional connection between a brand and its consumers. This strategy goes beyond the functional benefits of a product and seeks to evoke emotional responses that drive consumer loyalty and retention. The Dangote Group, a conglomerate with significant operations in Nigeria, has used emotional branding techniques to build strong consumer relationships across various sectors, including cement, sugar, and salt production. The company’s branding campaigns often emphasize values such as family, community, and national pride, which resonate with Nigerian consumers (Aliyu & Hassan, 2024).
In Kaduna State, a diverse region with a mix of urban and rural populations, emotional branding by Dangote has helped position the brand as a symbol of trust, quality, and local pride. The company’s advertisements and community-oriented campaigns emphasize emotional connections, often showcasing how Dangote products contribute to the well-being of Nigerian families and businesses (Oluwaseun & Muhammad, 2023). These emotional appeals are designed to foster long-term relationships with customers, leading to improved consumer retention and repeat purchases.
This study will explore the role of emotional branding in consumer retention, specifically examining the case of Dangote Group in Kaduna State. The focus will be on understanding how emotional connections influence consumer behavior and whether they translate into brand loyalty over time.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the increasing use of emotional branding as a strategy for building consumer loyalty, its specific impact on consumer retention in Nigeria remains understudied. While Dangote Group’s branding efforts are widely recognized, the effectiveness of emotional branding in retaining consumers, especially in regions like Kaduna State, has not been fully explored. Factors such as cultural values, socio-economic conditions, and consumer perceptions may affect the success of emotional branding strategies in different parts of Nigeria.
This research aims to evaluate the impact of emotional branding on consumer retention for Dangote Group in Kaduna State, with a particular focus on how emotional appeals drive long-term loyalty and consumer behavior.
