Background of the study
Narrative clarity in advertising is pivotal for ensuring that consumers accurately perceive product excellence. In Kaduna, beauty brands are emphasizing the need for clear, concise, and coherent advertising messages that directly communicate the superior qualities of their products (Adesanya, 2023). Clear narratives enable consumers to understand product features, benefits, and the underlying brand promise without ambiguity. When consumers are presented with a well-articulated story, their perception of product excellence is enhanced, as the messaging aligns with their expectations and validates the premium nature of the product. Studies indicate that narrative clarity significantly improves consumer trust and reinforces perceptions of quality, which are crucial in the highly competitive beauty industry (Ibrahim, 2024). This study investigates the effect of narrative clarity in advertising on customer perceptions of product excellence for a beauty product in Kaduna. It examines how refined storytelling and clear messaging contribute to positive quality evaluations and stronger consumer-brand relationships.
Statement of the problem:
Beauty brands in Kaduna often struggle with delivering clear advertising narratives that effectively communicate product excellence. Ambiguous or overly complex messaging can result in consumer confusion, leading to misinterpretations about the quality of the product (Adesanya, 2023). The lack of narrative clarity undermines consumer trust and may reduce the perceived value of the product. This issue is particularly problematic in the competitive beauty market, where even slight inconsistencies in messaging can have a significant impact on consumer evaluations. Without clear guidelines and a coherent narrative, brands risk diluting their premium image and failing to meet consumer expectations. This study seeks to identify the key factors that contribute to narrative clarity and to explore how clear advertising can enhance customer perceptions of product excellence (Ibrahim, 2024).
