Background of the study
Fashion retailers in Abuja rely heavily on effective product promotion to build consumer trust and drive purchase intentions. However, various product promotion challenges, such as inconsistent messaging, unclear value propositions, and lack of engaging content, can erode consumer confidence and negatively impact purchase decisions (Ibrahim, 2023). In an industry where brand image is paramount, failure to communicate product benefits convincingly leads to skepticism about both the quality and value of the offerings. Research has highlighted that well-executed product promotions foster trust and increase the likelihood of purchase, whereas poorly designed campaigns create a disconnect between consumer expectations and actual experiences (Chukwu, 2024). This study investigates how promotion challenges affect consumer trust and purchase intentions for a fashion retailer in Abuja. By analyzing consumer feedback, promotional strategies, and sales data, the research aims to identify the key obstacles that reduce promotional effectiveness. The goal is to propose actionable strategies that enhance the clarity and consistency of product promotions, thereby improving consumer trust and stimulating higher purchase intentions (Ola, 2025).
Statement of the problem
Fashion retailers in Abuja face significant product promotion challenges that undermine consumer trust and lower purchase intentions. Inconsistent and ambiguous promotional messages lead consumers to question the authenticity and value of the products, resulting in reduced confidence and hesitancy to purchase. The gap between promotional claims and consumer experiences has not been adequately explored, leaving retailers without clear guidance to optimize their promotion strategies. This study addresses this problem by investigating how product promotion challenges impact both consumer trust and purchase intentions, with the aim of providing targeted recommendations for improving promotional effectiveness (Adenuga, 2023).

To assess the impact of product promotion challenges on consumer trust.
To evaluate how these challenges affect purchase intentions.
To recommend strategies to improve promotional effectiveness.

The findings will help fashion marketers refine their promotional strategies to better align with consumer expectations, thereby enhancing trust and driving sales. The research contributes to academic literature and offers practical solutions to improve marketing practices in the competitive fashion industry (Nwankwo, 2024).
