Background of the study:
Sustainable marketing initiatives have gained prominence as consumers increasingly prioritize environmental responsibility and ethical business practices. In Port Harcourt, an eco-friendly product leverages sustainable marketing strategies to enhance its brand perception and differentiate itself in a competitive market. The company emphasizes eco-friendly production processes, sustainable sourcing, and environmental stewardship in its marketing communications (Adeniyi, 2023; Uche, 2024). These initiatives are designed to align the brand with the values of environmentally conscious consumers, thereby fostering a positive brand image and encouraging consumer loyalty. By integrating sustainability into its core messaging, the product not only attracts a niche market but also sets a benchmark for ethical practices within the industry. The study examines how these sustainable initiatives influence consumer perceptions, analyzing factors such as transparency, authenticity, and the overall impact on brand reputation. It also explores the role of digital media in disseminating sustainable messages and engaging a broader audience. The research aims to provide a comprehensive evaluation of how sustainable marketing initiatives can reshape brand perception, driving both commercial success and environmental awareness (Chukwu, 2024).
Statement of the problem:
Despite the increasing adoption of sustainable marketing initiatives, there is uncertainty regarding their effectiveness in shaping brand perception for eco-friendly products in Port Harcourt. Consumers may question the authenticity of sustainability claims, leading to mixed perceptions about the brand. Inconsistent messaging and the absence of standardized evaluation metrics further complicate the assessment of these initiatives. This ambiguity can hinder the product’s ability to secure a strong market position and drive long-term consumer loyalty. Therefore, there is a need to empirically examine the impact of sustainable marketing on brand perception and identify the critical factors that influence consumer attitudes (Ibrahim, 2024).
Objectives of the study:
To evaluate the impact of sustainable marketing initiatives on brand perception for an eco-friendly product.
