Background of the study
Retail electronics firms in Kaduna operate in a competitive market where customer loyalty is paramount for sustained success. However, pricing and promotion challenges pose significant obstacles to maintaining long-term consumer relationships. Pricing challenges, such as frequent price fluctuations and lack of transparency, coupled with ineffective promotion strategies, can erode consumer trust and reduce loyalty (Afolabi, 2023). When promotional messages are inconsistent or misleading, customers may doubt the fairness of pricing and the true value of the products, which diminishes their commitment to the brand (Chukwu, 2024). In a market where technological products are continuously evolving, establishing a stable pricing structure and clear promotional communications is crucial. This study examines how pricing and promotion challenges impact customer loyalty for a retail electronics firm in Kaduna. By integrating consumer surveys, sales data analysis, and marketing performance reviews, the research aims to identify key factors affecting loyalty and provide recommendations for enhancing pricing transparency and promotional effectiveness to foster stronger customer relationships (Okeke, 2025).
Statement of the problem
Retail electronics firms in Kaduna experience significant pricing and promotion challenges that undermine customer loyalty. Inconsistencies in pricing and ambiguous promotional messages create consumer uncertainty and reduce trust, leading to lower repeat purchase rates. Despite the importance of maintaining customer loyalty, there is a lack of research specifically addressing how these challenges affect consumer behavior in the electronics sector. This gap hinders the development of strategies that could enhance pricing transparency and promotional clarity, thereby improving customer retention. The study seeks to address this gap by evaluating the effects of pricing and promotion challenges on customer loyalty (Balogun, 2023).
