Background of the Study
Sensory marketing refers to the use of sensory stimuli—such as sight, sound, taste, touch, and smell—to influence consumer behavior and enhance their emotional connection with a brand. Marketers use sensory cues to create memorable experiences that drive consumer decisions (Krishna, 2023).
The Dangote Group, a dominant player in the Nigerian market across multiple industries, including cement, salt, and sugar, has utilized sensory marketing to enhance brand recognition and customer loyalty. In Kano State, where sensory engagement may significantly influence consumer choices, Dangote’s use of sensory marketing tools, such as packaging design, product presentation, and sensory experiences at retail locations, is integral to their strategy (Oluwaseyi & Musa, 2024).
This study seeks to examine how sensory marketing influences consumer decision-making, focusing on Dangote Group’s practices in Kano State.
Statement of the Problem
While sensory marketing has been widely discussed in academic literature, its practical application and impact in specific markets like Kano State, where cultural and environmental factors vary, remain under-explored. In Kano, consumers’ sensory perceptions are strongly linked to product satisfaction and repeat purchases. However, Dangote’s use of sensory marketing might face challenges due to local preferences and the diverse sensory appeals needed to resonate with different consumer segments (Adamu & Hassan, 2023).
This study aims to explore the role of sensory marketing in shaping consumer decisions for Dangote products in Kano State.
