Background of the study
Sustainability marketing strategies are increasingly influential in shaping consumer behavior, especially as environmental concerns gain prominence. In Lagos, Nigeria, eco-friendly products are marketed not only for their functional benefits but also for their positive environmental impact. Sustainability marketing integrates themes such as ethical sourcing, reduced environmental footprints, and corporate social responsibility to appeal to environmentally conscious consumers. This approach encourages consumers to make purchase decisions based on both product quality and the brand’s commitment to sustainability. The study examines how sustainability marketing influences consumer behavior, focusing on purchase intention, brand loyalty, and word-of-mouth promotion. By analyzing marketing campaigns, consumer perceptions, and sales data, the research seeks to understand the extent to which sustainability initiatives drive consumer behavior in the eco-friendly product sector. Despite growing consumer interest in sustainability, challenges such as greenwashing, higher price points, and skepticism about corporate motives can undermine marketing efforts. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of sustainability marketing strategies and their effectiveness in driving consumer behavior in Lagos.
