Background of the study
Promotional messaging clarity plays a vital role in shaping customer perception of product quality and value, particularly in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector. In Kano, FMCG brands rely on clear and consistent promotional messages to communicate product benefits effectively. Clear messaging helps consumers understand the features and advantages of a product, leading to enhanced perceptions of quality and value (Okafor, 2023). However, challenges such as ambiguous language, inconsistent information, and overloaded messaging can confuse consumers and undermine the intended brand message (Ibrahim, 2024). In a competitive FMCG market, where consumer choices are heavily influenced by perceived quality and value, clarity in promotional communication is essential. This study appraises the effectiveness of promotional messaging clarity in influencing customer perceptions of product quality and value for an FMCG brand in Kano. The research seeks to identify the key elements that contribute to clear messaging and provide recommendations to optimize communication strategies, thereby driving improved consumer understanding and purchase behavior (Adebayo, 2025).
Statement of the problem
FMCG brands in Kano face challenges in ensuring that their promotional messages are clear and effectively convey product quality and value. Ambiguous messaging and inconsistent communication have led to consumer confusion, resulting in diminished perceptions of both quality and value (Okafor, 2023). This miscommunication can negatively affect purchase decisions and overall brand performance (Ibrahim, 2024). As the market becomes increasingly competitive, the inability to deliver clear and concise promotional messages undermines consumer confidence and weakens brand positioning. This study aims to investigate the impact of promotional messaging clarity on customer perceptions of quality and value, with the goal of identifying strategies to enhance communication effectiveness (Adebayo, 2025).

To evaluate the impact of promotional messaging clarity on customer perception of product quality.
To assess how clear messaging influences perceived product value.
To recommend strategies for improving promotional communication.

The insights will help FMCG brands in Kano refine their communication strategies to build stronger consumer trust and enhance market competitiveness (Okafor, 2023; Ibrahim, 2024). The recommendations provided aim to improve messaging clarity, ultimately supporting more effective marketing and increased consumer satisfaction (Adebayo, 2025).
