Background of the study
Cross-channel promotional strategies are essential for maintaining brand consistency across diverse marketing platforms. For multinational firms in Kaduna, Nigeria, ensuring that promotional messages remain unified across social media, email, mobile, and traditional advertising channels is critical for building and sustaining brand equity. Integrated cross-channel strategies enable firms to create a cohesive brand narrative that reinforces customer perceptions and drives loyalty (Uche, 2023). By aligning creative content, tone, and messaging across all channels, companies can effectively differentiate themselves in competitive markets while providing a seamless consumer experience. However, the complexity of managing multiple channels often leads to challenges such as message fragmentation, inconsistent customer experiences, and resource inefficiencies. This study investigates how cross-channel promotional strategies impact brand consistency for a multinational firm in Kaduna. It examines the methods used to integrate diverse marketing channels, evaluates the benefits and drawbacks of such strategies, and offers recommendations to enhance consistency in promotional communications, ultimately driving improved brand performance (Afolabi, 2024).
Statement of the problem
Multinational firms in Kaduna struggle to achieve consistent brand messaging across multiple marketing channels. Despite employing cross-channel strategies, issues such as fragmented communication, varying platform dynamics, and coordination challenges often lead to inconsistent brand experiences. This inconsistency undermines brand equity and reduces consumer trust. The study aims to identify the operational challenges that hinder effective cross-channel promotion and evaluate their impact on overall brand consistency, with the goal of proposing strategies to overcome these barriers (Uche, 2023).
