CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

  • Background of the Study

We are in a very dynamic and complex world. The business environment is becoming sophiscated day by day and as such, decision-making is becoming more and more challenging and risky. Business organization are falling due to poor decisions. Investors are losing their money and are unhappy. They are being discouraged and this is quite unhealthy to the economy. In some other instances, organizations are springing up in great numbers; some are successful in the marketing of their products and services, while others are skin akin to the baber’s chair syndrome where all is in motion but no movement, struggling to reach their target audience. Consumers are also faced with the challenge of choice making due to indecisiveness, skepticism, indifference and confusion which are among the key sales killers in business world.

However, the consumer perception challenges is the first and greatest hurdle that advertisers must cross. Perception guides all activities of the consumer from the people he associates with to the products he buys. In the business world, it has always been what people say about a product or service and not what the marketer says. How a consumer perceives each of the different brands in a category, determines which brand he chooses. So many companies spend so much money on advertising, sales promotion, point of purchase displays and other marketing communications only to discover that money people don’t even remember the product or the promotion. On the other hand, whether consumers ultimately purchase the marketer’s brand also depends on whether the promotion and marketing communication variables facilitate purchasing.
