Background of the study
Retail brands in Abuja are increasingly challenged by the complexities of product promotion in a highly competitive market environment. Product promotion challenges such as ambiguous messaging, inadequate customer engagement, and inconsistent promotional strategies can significantly impact consumer purchase behavior (Ijeoma, 2023). In the retail sector, effective promotion is essential for differentiating products and influencing purchase decisions. However, when promotional strategies fall short due to operational or strategic issues, consumer trust and interest may wane, leading to decreased sales performance. This study examines the nature of these promotion challenges and their effects on consumer purchase behavior in a retail context in Abuja. Emphasis is placed on understanding how specific promotional shortcomings, such as a lack of clear value propositions or misaligned marketing communications, affect consumer decision-making processes (Olumide, 2024). By analyzing consumer responses and promotional practices, the research aims to offer insights that can help retail brands refine their promotional strategies to better align with consumer expectations and boost purchase behavior (Balogun, 2023).
Statement of the problem
Retail brands in Abuja often experience significant challenges in product promotion that adversely affect consumer purchase behavior. Inadequate communication of product benefits, coupled with inconsistent promotional strategies, creates confusion among consumers, leading to reduced trust and lower sales. These challenges hinder brands from effectively differentiating themselves in a competitive retail market, resulting in a gap between promotional intentions and actual consumer responses. The absence of focused research on how these product promotion challenges impact consumer decision-making further complicates efforts to optimize marketing strategies. This study seeks to address this gap by examining the direct relationship between promotion challenges and consumer purchase behavior in a retail brand context (Ogunleye, 2023).

To assess the impact of product promotion challenges on consumer purchase behavior.
To identify key factors in promotional strategies that influence purchase decisions.
