Background of the study
Influencer marketing has become a cornerstone of contemporary promotional strategies, particularly in the technology sector. This study investigates the effectiveness of influencer marketing on product launches, focusing on a tech gadget in Abuja, Nigeria. With consumers increasingly relying on social media personalities for product recommendations, influencers can significantly sway purchasing decisions and generate buzz around new product launches (Okoro, 2023). In Abuja, where the tech market is burgeoning, brands are capitalizing on influencers’ ability to reach diverse audiences quickly. However, the effectiveness of influencer campaigns depends on factors such as influencer credibility, audience alignment, and content authenticity (Ekwueme, 2024). This study examines the interplay between these factors and their cumulative effect on the success of tech gadget launches. It will provide an analysis of campaign outcomes, consumer engagement, and sales performance, offering insights into best practices and potential pitfalls in leveraging influencer marketing for product launches (Chukwu, 2025).
Statement of the problem
Despite the increasing adoption of influencer marketing for product launches, many tech brands in Abuja experience mixed outcomes. Challenges arise from selecting influencers who genuinely resonate with the target audience and ensuring that the promotional content is perceived as authentic. Additionally, there is limited empirical evidence on how influencer attributes affect launch success. These issues create uncertainty regarding the return on investment for influencer marketing campaigns. This study addresses the problem by examining the factors that contribute to successful influencer marketing during tech gadget launches and identifying strategies that can improve campaign effectiveness. The insights aim to provide a more robust framework for leveraging influencer partnerships to drive product success (Ekwueme, 2024; Chukwu, 2025).
