ABSTRACT
This research work titled The Effect Of Television Adverting On Chi Exotic Product Patronage: A Study of Samaru Community, Zaria, was conducted in Kaduna state Nigeria. The research work specifically aimed at investigating if television advertising employed by chi exotic juice had influenced people to buy the product. It asked the following research questions; Are residents of Samaru community aware of chi exotic t.v ads? How exposed are the residents of Samaru community to chi exotic t.v ads? Do residents of Samaru community understand the advert message? How convincing is the advertising message to the residents of samaru community? And to what extent is the influence of the t.v ads on residents of Samaru community? Findings revealed that television adverts have the power to influence people to buy product by convincing them for the product. Findings showed that for this influence to be significant, certain factors like price and quality of the product, frequent accessible of the advertising message to target audience, and most importantly ease in comprehension of advertising message by target audience must be in place. Findings further revealed that as a result of rare exposure to chi exotic t.v ads, inability of the t.v ad to convince a portion of the respondents, factors of price and quality, and lack of understanding of the advertising message, less than an average of the sampled population were influenced by chi exotic television advertisements. Survey research methodology was adopted for this work, and 200 respondents were randomly surveyed during the course of this research. This research work recommends for factors of price, quality of product, frequent accessibility to television ads and comprehension of ads to be considered when creating television advertising for increased product patronage.
