Background of the study
Digital storytelling techniques have transformed how luxury goods brands communicate their values and product excellence. In Port Harcourt, where the luxury market is highly competitive, brands leverage digital platforms to create immersive narratives that highlight craftsmanship, heritage, and innovation. Digital storytelling utilizes high-quality visuals, interactive media, and cohesive messaging to engage consumers and simplify complex product attributes (Chinwe, 2023). Such techniques are particularly critical during periods of economic uncertainty when consumers scrutinize quality more closely. Consistent and visually appealing digital narratives can elevate consumer evaluations of product excellence by providing a clear, relatable story behind the product’s design and production process (Ibrahim, 2024). This study explores the role of digital storytelling techniques in shaping consumer perceptions of product excellence for a luxury goods brand in Port Harcourt. It examines how narrative elements such as tone, imagery, and interactivity contribute to a favorable evaluation of product quality.
Statement of the problem:
Luxury goods brands in Port Harcourt often struggle with effectively communicating product excellence via digital storytelling. When narratives are inconsistent or lack clarity, consumers may perceive a disconnect between the brand’s promise and the actual product, leading to reduced evaluations of quality (Chinwe, 2023). Economic hardships further heighten the need for precise messaging, as consumers demand authenticity and clarity. The challenge is to determine which digital storytelling techniques most effectively convey product excellence. Without this understanding, luxury brands risk undermining consumer confidence and losing their competitive advantage (Ibrahim, 2024).

To examine the impact of digital storytelling techniques on consumer evaluation of product excellence.
To identify key narrative elements that enhance product quality perceptions.
