Background of the study
Narrative‑driven content in advertising has emerged as a dynamic tool for engaging customers and shaping their perceptions of product quality. In Kano, retail brands are increasingly incorporating storytelling elements into their promotional strategies to differentiate themselves in a competitive market. By developing narratives that highlight product origins, benefits, and customer experiences, these brands aim to create a cohesive and engaging brand story (Okafor, 2023). Such narrative‑driven content not only captures consumer attention but also provides clarity about product attributes, leading to enhanced quality perception. Research suggests that consistent and engaging narratives foster stronger customer engagement and build lasting brand loyalty (Adebayo, 2024). This study examines how narrative‑driven content influences customer engagement and product quality perception for a retail brand in Kano, with the goal of identifying key storytelling elements that drive consumer interaction and positive evaluations of product performance.
Statement of the problem:
Retail brands in Kano face challenges in effectively deploying narrative‑driven content to boost customer engagement and enhance product quality perception. Inconsistent or poorly structured narratives can lead to consumer confusion, resulting in suboptimal engagement and undervalued product quality (Okafor, 2023). The absence of a coherent narrative strategy may dilute the brand’s message and fail to resonate with the target audience. Consequently, the potential benefits of narrative‑driven content remain underutilized, affecting customer satisfaction and loyalty. There is a pressing need to investigate which narrative elements are most effective in driving customer engagement and improving quality perception, so that retail brands can optimize their marketing efforts (Adebayo, 2024).

To evaluate the impact of narrative‑driven content on customer engagement.
To assess how narrative strategies affect product quality perception.
