Background of the study
Transparent advertising has emerged as a vital component of modern marketing strategies, especially in the tech industry where product innovation and rapid market changes are commonplace. In Lagos, Nigeria, tech gadgets are frequently introduced with bold advertising claims that require substantiation through transparency. Transparent advertising involves clear, honest, and accessible communication that enables consumers to make informed decisions about product value and quality (Uche, 2023). In the competitive tech market, consumer skepticism is high, and misleading advertisements can severely damage brand reputation. Consequently, companies are increasingly investing in advertising strategies that prioritize transparency to build trust and credibility. Research indicates that when consumers perceive advertisements as transparent, they are more inclined to believe in the authenticity of product features, which ultimately influences their evaluation of both value and quality (Eze, 2024). Furthermore, transparent practices foster a positive consumer-brand relationship, encouraging repeat purchases and long-term loyalty. This study examines how transparent advertising affects consumer evaluations of product value and quality, thereby contributing to a deeper understanding of the role of ethical communication in the tech sector. The findings aim to provide actionable insights for tech companies striving to enhance their advertising efficacy in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
Statement of the problem:
Despite the recognized benefits of transparent advertising, tech companies in Lagos often face challenges in implementing strategies that effectively communicate product value and quality. Many advertisements, while visually appealing, lack the necessary transparency, leading to consumer doubts regarding the authenticity of product claims (Ibrahim, 2023). This gap between consumer expectations and advertising practices results in a diminished evaluation of product value and overall quality. The competitive nature of the tech industry further exacerbates this issue, as consumers become increasingly discerning and demand clarity in promotional messages. Without transparent advertising, companies risk losing consumer trust and market share, underscoring the need for empirical research that explores the direct relationship between advertising transparency and consumer evaluation. This study addresses these challenges by investigating how transparent advertising can be effectively leveraged to enhance consumer perceptions (Uche, 2023).

Significance of the Study
This study is significant as it provides crucial insights into the role of transparent advertising in shaping consumer evaluations of product value and quality in the tech sector of Lagos. By highlighting the benefits of clear and honest communication, the research offers practical recommendations for tech companies aiming to enhance consumer trust and loyalty. The findings are expected to guide marketing strategies, ensuring that advertising practices align with consumer expectations for transparency and authenticity. These insights contribute to both industry practice and academic discussions on effective advertising (Eze, 2024).
