Background of the study
Ethical marketing communications have become increasingly important for green tech startups that aim to promote sustainable innovations while building consumer trust. In Lagos, green tech startups utilize ethical messaging to communicate their commitment to environmental sustainability, transparency, and social responsibility (Okafor, 2023). By integrating ethical considerations into their marketing communications—through clear, honest, and consistent narratives—these startups can differentiate themselves in a competitive technological landscape. Ethical marketing communications not only inform consumers about product features but also foster positive perceptions of product quality by aligning with consumer values (Ibrahim, 2024). As consumers become more discerning about environmental and ethical issues, the ability to convey authentic ethical messages can significantly influence their behavior and overall product evaluations. This study appraises the influence of ethical marketing communications on consumer behavior and perceived product quality for a green tech startup in Lagos, identifying the narrative elements that most effectively drive consumer trust and positive evaluations.
Statement of the problem:
Green tech startups in Lagos often struggle to translate their ethical marketing communications into tangible improvements in consumer behavior and product quality perception. Inconsistencies or superficial ethical messages can lead to consumer skepticism and lower product evaluations (Okafor, 2023). The challenge lies in effectively conveying the startup’s commitment to sustainability in a manner that resonates with consumers, thereby boosting both trust and perceived quality. Without robust ethical messaging, green tech startups risk failing to capture the market’s interest and may experience diminished brand loyalty. This study aims to identify the key ethical marketing components that positively impact consumer behavior and product quality perception, addressing the gap between ethical communication and consumer response (Ibrahim, 2024).
