Background of the study
Emotional advertising narratives have become a powerful marketing tool that taps into consumers’ feelings to shape perceptions of product excellence. In Kano, beauty products often rely on emotionally charged storytelling to create a strong connection with consumers (Adesanya, 2023). These narratives go beyond highlighting product features and instead evoke sentiments such as confidence, desire, and empowerment. By leveraging emotions, beauty brands can enhance perceived product excellence, driving customer loyalty and differentiation in a competitive market. Research indicates that emotional advertising narratives can significantly impact consumer decision-making by creating memorable brand experiences (Chinwe, 2024). However, the effectiveness of these narratives depends on the authenticity and consistency of the emotional appeal. If the narrative appears contrived, it may lead to consumer distrust rather than enhanced quality perceptions. This study examines the impact of emotional advertising narratives on consumer perception of product excellence in the beauty sector of Kano, exploring the interplay between emotional appeal and quality evaluation, and providing strategic insights for crafting impactful campaigns.
Statement of the problem:
Beauty brands in Kano face the challenge of employing emotional advertising narratives that truly enhance consumer perception of product excellence. In cases where emotional appeals are misaligned with actual product performance, consumers may develop unrealistic expectations that lead to dissatisfaction (Adesanya, 2023). This misalignment creates a credibility gap that undermines the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. Furthermore, inconsistent emotional messaging can dilute the brand’s image and reduce consumer trust. Without a clear understanding of which emotional elements most effectively enhance perceived product excellence, beauty brands risk losing market share and customer loyalty. Addressing this issue is crucial to ensure that emotional advertising not only captures consumer attention but also accurately reflects product quality (Chinwe, 2024).

To evaluate the influence of emotional advertising narratives on consumer perception of product excellence.
To identify key emotional elements that drive positive quality evaluations.
