Background of the study:
Social media contests have become a popular tactic for enhancing brand visibility and engaging audiences in digital marketing. Food delivery services in Abuja are leveraging contests to create buzz, encourage user participation, and generate user-generated content. This study examines how contests on platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter influence brand visibility and consumer interaction (Nwankwo, 2023). By incentivizing participation through rewards and interactive challenges, social media contests can significantly increase brand exposure and foster a positive brand image (Okoro, 2024). The dynamic nature of contests creates a viral effect, where content is shared across networks, further extending the reach of marketing campaigns. Despite their potential, challenges such as low participation rates, contest fatigue, and issues of fairness may hinder success. This research evaluates both the benefits and limitations of social media contests, providing actionable recommendations for food delivery services to maximize their impact on brand visibility and customer engagement (Afolabi, 2025).
Statement of the problem:
While social media contests offer a promising approach to boost brand visibility, food delivery services in Abuja face challenges in effectively managing and sustaining contest engagement. Issues such as low participation, unclear contest guidelines, and difficulties in measuring the direct impact on brand perception limit the effectiveness of these initiatives (Nwankwo, 2023). Furthermore, concerns over fairness and transparency can lead to negative consumer sentiment. These challenges underscore the need for a comprehensive evaluation of social media contests to determine best practices that can enhance their impact on brand visibility (Okoro, 2024).

The findings will help food delivery services in Abuja enhance their digital engagement and build a stronger online presence, contributing to long-term customer growth (Afolabi, 2025).
