Background of the study
Digital influencer endorsements have become a key element of modern marketing, particularly in the fashion industry. In Abuja, fashion retailers increasingly partner with influencers to expand their market reach and enhance brand credibility. This study investigates how influencer endorsements affect the market reach of a fashion retailer by analyzing social media engagement, brand awareness metrics, and sales performance. The research explores the dynamics between influencer authenticity, audience trust, and content resonance in driving consumer interest and expanding the retailer’s market footprint. Factors such as the influencer’s niche, audience demographics, and content quality are examined to determine their impact on market reach. Additionally, the study considers challenges such as influencer saturation and measurement difficulties in quantifying endorsement impact. Combining quantitative analytics with qualitative consumer insights, the study aims to provide actionable recommendations for fashion retailers to optimize influencer collaborations and achieve greater market penetration.
Statement of the problem
Fashion retailers in Abuja face challenges in effectively converting digital influencer endorsements into broader market reach. While influencer partnerships generate significant online buzz, inconsistencies in messaging and questions of authenticity may limit their impact on expanding consumer bases (Chinwe, 2023). Furthermore, the lack of standardized metrics to measure the direct effects of influencer endorsements on market reach complicates strategic decision-making. This study addresses these challenges by investigating the factors that drive successful influencer collaborations and their influence on market expansion, thereby providing a framework for optimizing influencer marketing strategies in the fashion industry.
