Background of the study
Product marketing communications are vital in building and maintaining brand equity, especially in the luxury goods sector where image and exclusivity are paramount. In Kano, a luxury goods brand employs sophisticated communication strategies to highlight its superior craftsmanship, exclusive design, and heritage. These communications utilize high-end advertising, social media storytelling, and targeted events to create a strong, desirable brand image (Aminu, 2023). Effective marketing communications help consumers perceive the brand as prestigious and valuable, thereby enhancing overall brand equity (Okafor, 2024). Despite the importance of these strategies, there is limited empirical research on how specific communication elements influence brand equity in the luxury market. This study investigates the impact of product marketing communications on brand equity, examining factors such as message consistency, media channels, and consumer perceptions within the context of a luxury goods brand in Kano (Chukwu, 2025).
Statement of the problem
Although luxury goods brands invest heavily in product marketing communications, the direct impact on brand equity remains ambiguous. Consumers in Kano may appreciate high-quality communications, yet inconsistent or poorly executed messages could weaken the brand’s perceived value (Aminu, 2023). Moreover, intense competition in the luxury sector makes it challenging to isolate the effects of communication strategies on brand equity (Okafor, 2024). This study seeks to address these uncertainties by examining the relationship between marketing communications and brand equity, providing evidence-based insights into which strategies are most effective in enhancing the luxury brand image (Chukwu, 2025).
Objectives of the study:
To assess the impact of product marketing communications on brand equity.
To identify key communication elements that enhance consumer perceptions of luxury.
To recommend strategies for optimizing marketing communications to strengthen brand equity.
Research questions:
How do product marketing communications affect brand equity for a luxury goods brand?
Which elements of marketing communications are most influential in building brand equity?
How can luxury brands optimize their communications to improve overall brand value?
Significance of the study
This study is significant as it explores the role of product marketing communications in shaping brand equity in the luxury goods sector. The findings will provide valuable insights for luxury brands in Kano to refine their communication strategies, ensuring that they effectively convey exclusivity and quality to enhance consumer perceptions. The research contributes to academic literature on luxury branding and offers practical recommendations for improving brand equity through strategic communications (Okafor, 2024).
