Background of the study
Green marketing initiatives, which promote environmental benefits and sustainable practices, have become essential for firms operating in renewable energy sectors. This study compares various green marketing strategies employed by a renewable energy firm in Kaduna and examines their impact on market performance. Green marketing not only highlights the environmental advantages of renewable energy products but also builds consumer trust and differentiation in a competitive market (Adeniyi, 2023). In Kaduna, where renewable energy solutions are gaining traction, effective green marketing can drive sales, increase market share, and improve brand reputation. The study analyzes approaches such as eco-friendly advertising, sustainability certifications, and community outreach programs, and evaluates their effectiveness through metrics such as sales growth, brand awareness, and customer loyalty (Okeke, 2024). Challenges such as higher production costs and consumer skepticism about green claims are also considered. By integrating comparative analyses and empirical data, the research aims to provide recommendations for optimizing green marketing strategies to enhance market performance (Ibrahim, 2025).

Despite the rising importance of green marketing, renewable energy firms in Kaduna often struggle with achieving optimal market performance. Factors such as inconsistent messaging, high costs, and consumer doubts about sustainability claims limit the impact of green initiatives on sales and market share. This study addresses these issues by comparing green marketing strategies and identifying key drivers of market performance. The objective is to offer a framework for enhancing the effectiveness of green marketing to drive competitive advantage (Adeniyi, 2023; Okeke, 2024).
