Background of the study
Digital storytelling has become a vital component of modern marketing, particularly for tech startups that need to explain complex products in a relatable manner. In Port Harcourt, tech startups are harnessing digital storytelling to shape customer perceptions of product quality and drive purchase intentions (Nneka, 2023). By integrating multimedia elements such as videos, interactive content, and social media narratives, these startups create engaging stories that illustrate product features and benefits. This approach helps to demystify technical specifications and offers a humanized perspective that resonates with consumers. Digital storytelling not only enhances perceived product quality but also motivates purchase decisions by building trust and emotional connections with the brand (Ibrahim, 2024). The study examines the effectiveness of digital storytelling in influencing consumer attitudes and behavior, and aims to identify the key narrative elements that contribute to improved quality perceptions and higher purchase intentions for a tech startup in Port Harcourt.
Statement of the problem:
Tech startups in Port Harcourt often face difficulties in translating their digital storytelling efforts into measurable improvements in product quality perception and purchase intentions. Inadequate or inconsistent digital narratives may fail to clearly convey product benefits, leading to consumer confusion and skepticism (Nneka, 2023). This disconnect between digital storytelling and consumer expectations can result in reduced trust and lower purchase intentions. Without a clear understanding of which digital narrative elements most effectively enhance quality perception and drive purchases, tech startups risk investing in ineffective marketing strategies. Addressing this gap is critical for optimizing digital storytelling techniques that accurately reflect product capabilities and foster consumer confidence (Ibrahim, 2024).
