Background of the Study
Nostalgia marketing is a strategy that taps into consumers’ memories and emotional connections to past experiences to influence their purchasing decisions. By evoking feelings of familiarity and comfort, brands use nostalgia to create a deeper bond with their audience (Brown & Dacin, 2023).
Nestlé Nigeria, a key player in the food and beverage industry, has effectively incorporated nostalgia in its product branding. In Taraba State, where local traditions and cultural heritage strongly influence consumer choices, Nestlé’s nostalgic branding strategies help connect products to the emotional needs and desires of the local population (Okafor & Musa, 2024).
This study investigates the role of nostalgia in shaping consumer perceptions and brand loyalty for Nestlé Nigeria in Taraba State.

While nostalgia is a powerful marketing tool, its effectiveness can vary across regions and demographic groups. In Taraba State, where consumer preferences are influenced by local culture, understanding the nuances of nostalgic branding is critical to ensuring its success (Oluwaseyi & Musa, 2024). Nestlé Nigeria must navigate these challenges to effectively incorporate nostalgia into its branding strategies and enhance customer loyalty.
This study examines how nostalgia is used in product branding by Nestlé Nigeria in Taraba State and assesses its impact on consumer behavior.
