Background of the study
Ethical promotional strategies are crucial in shaping consumer perceptions, especially in the luxury market where brand value is synonymous with trust and exclusivity. In Kano, luxury brands are increasingly integrating ethical considerations into their promotional campaigns, emphasizing transparency, sustainability, and social responsibility (Okafor, 2023). These strategies aim to reinforce the premium nature of luxury products and differentiate them from competitors by building a reputation for integrity and ethical conduct. Studies indicate that ethical promotion can significantly enhance consumer perceptions of brand value by aligning the brand with positive social and environmental practices (Ibrahim, 2024). However, implementing ethical promotional strategies poses challenges such as maintaining consistency in messaging and balancing profit motives with ethical commitments. This study evaluates how ethical promotional strategies influence consumer perception of brand value for a luxury product in Kano. It investigates the relationship between ethical marketing efforts and consumer trust, aiming to provide actionable insights for luxury brands to enhance their market positioning and sustain long-term consumer loyalty (Adebayo, 2025).
Statement of the problem
Luxury brands in Kano face the challenge of communicating their ethical commitments effectively, which is crucial for maintaining high brand value. Inconsistencies in ethical promotional messaging can lead to consumer skepticism and diminish perceived brand value (Okafor, 2023). This problem is exacerbated during periods when profit pressures may conflict with ethical standards, causing potential misalignment between brand image and consumer expectations (Ibrahim, 2024). Such discrepancies not only impact immediate sales but also threaten long-term brand loyalty. This study seeks to understand the impact of ethical promotional strategies on consumer perception of brand value and to identify best practices that can help luxury brands sustain their premium image even amid challenging market conditions (Adebayo, 2025).
