CHAPTER ONE

 

INTRODUCTION

 

1.0  Introduction

 

The promotion is considered as a starting point, and the first step, the producers followed to communicate and contact with their customers, in both local and foreign markets alike, where it paves the road to another marketing efforts such as presentation of companies’ product, its features, specifications, distribution of the product, and what distinguishes it from other producers’ competing products in the target markets.

Sales promotion, a key ingredient in marketing campaigns; the need to promote a product, service or an idea cannot be over emphasized. Obi (2002) described sales promotion consists of the related promotional activities that are necessary to supplement personal selling. Some of these include distribution of sample products to customers, exhibitions, or demostration of  products at stores or trade fairs or shows and preparation of printed materials used by sales people or for point-of sale displays. A combination of the above variables defines a firm’s promotional programme that hopes to influence consumers to patronize and become loyal to the organizations offering.

Hence, promotion in marketing represents those tools that companies used to persuade their prospective consumers to buy their product or service. The determination of the most appropriate, effective, and influential promotional elements on the consumers’ purchasing decision making, which achieve the producers’ objectives may have a strong, important, and useful indications for both decision makers, and marketing planners in fast food firms such as Mr Biggs who are confronted with issue arising from competition from other numerous fast food firms in Kaduna.

1.1 Background of the Study

Promotion became an essential motivating factor in the area of marketing in any organization especially in fast food firms. The element in the promotional mix that is rapidly gaining additional recognition in most industries especially in the fast food industry in Nigeria is the sales promotion. It is not enough mostly in developing countries like Nigeria and particularly in fast food industry to merely trust that consumers will become aware of services. The firm has to engage in promotional activities. Over the year some notable author have regard sales promotion as having such roles as the development of  small and medium scale enterprise such as eateries, besides, increasing sales which leads to the ability of competing for a large market share, producing companies has interested and make more attention to promotional activities. The promotion is considered as a starting point, and the first step, the producers followed to communicate and contact with their customers, in both local and foreign markets alike, where it paves the road to another marketing efforts such as presentation of companies’ product, its features, specifications, distribution of the product, and what distinguishes it from other producers’ competing products in the target markets.

This is so because it has been established by Nagar (2009) in literature that only consumers with repeat purchases are profitable. It is not every repeat purchase that is connected to consumer’s commitment of a brand.

However, consumer’s commitment is important for a repeat purchase. Therefore, business operators need to develop marketing program that will not only reinforce customer’s commitment but also encourage repeat purchases. A part of the functions of sales promotion is not only to reinforce commitment of consumers but to encourage repeat purchase. Sales promotion has effects on various aspects of consumer’s purchase decisions such as brand choice, purchase time, quantity, and brand switching. Thus, sales promotion becomes an integral part of the marketing strategy for reaching the target market and it is the responsibility of marketing managers to combine elements of promotional strategies, which is promotional mix into coordinated plans. Sales promotion efforts are directed at final consumers and designed to motivate, persuade, and remind them of the goods and receives that are offered.

Sales promotion which is a major force in marketing is widely adopted by beverage drink industries in Nigeria, but as Nigeria is witnessing an economic down turn, there is increase in prices of consumer goods that also lead to an increase in prices of products in fast food Firms.

More sales promotions carried out by organizations are usually badly organized and implemented which leads to the aim being defeated thereby having a direct effect on sales volume and profit.

This problem of low sales and low demand have promoted producers to use sale promotion to compliment the use of other promotional mixes like sale promotion personal selling, publicity and public relations. Some of the questions the study will answer are what impact does sales promotion has on the sales performance of an organization.
