Background of the Study
In the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector, product packaging is a crucial element of marketing strategy. It serves not only as a protective measure but also as a means of communicating a brand's identity, quality, and value proposition to consumers. Packaging design influences consumer decision-making by appealing to their aesthetic preferences, providing product information, and conveying the brand's promise. As competition increases in the FMCG sector, particularly in Sokoto State, effective packaging has become a key differentiator in driving sales and consumer loyalty.

Packaging affects various aspects of a product's marketing, including perceived value, convenience, sustainability, and shelf appeal. Research has shown that packaging can increase brand recognition and influence purchasing behavior by engaging consumers at a subconscious level. However, despite its importance, there is limited research on the specific impact of packaging on sales performance in FMCG retailers in Sokoto State.

This study seeks to examine how product packaging influences sales performance in FMCG retailers in Sokoto State, focusing on the design, functionality, and perception of packaging among consumers.

Statement of the Problem
In Sokoto State, many FMCG retailers face challenges related to increasing consumer demand and competition from both local and international brands. While product quality remains a significant factor, packaging plays an essential role in attracting consumers and enhancing their purchase experience. However, the exact influence of packaging on sales performance in FMCG retailers has not been extensively explored in this region. This study aims to assess the impact of product packaging on sales performance and its contribution to consumer buying decisions in Sokoto State.
