Background of the Study
Branding strategies are essential in differentiating retail businesses and influencing consumer purchasing decisions. Effective branding fosters customer loyalty, enhances brand equity, and drives sales. Common branding strategies include logo design, advertising campaigns, and consistent customer experiences (Mukhtar et al., 2023). Supermarkets, in particular, rely on branding to create a competitive advantage in a crowded market.
In Kebbi State, the retail sector has seen significant growth, with supermarkets increasingly adopting branding strategies to attract customers. However, the effectiveness of these strategies in influencing retail sales remains underexplored. While global research highlights the benefits of branding (Okeke & Nwosu, 2024), localized studies focusing on Kebbi State’s supermarkets are necessary to understand the unique factors affecting branding outcomes in this region.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the adoption of various branding strategies, many supermarkets in Kebbi State struggle to achieve significant improvements in sales. Challenges such as limited brand recognition, inconsistent branding efforts, and insufficient marketing budgets hinder the effectiveness of these strategies.
There is a lack of empirical research on the relationship between branding strategies and retail sales in Kebbi State. This gap prevents supermarket managers from optimizing their branding efforts to achieve desired sales outcomes. This study aims to critically analyze how branding strategies influence retail sales in Kebbi State’s supermarkets.

Limitations include potential biases in self-reported data and the exclusion of external factors such as economic trends and consumer behavior shifts.
