CHAPTER ONE
1.1 BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY
Ebne (1990pl) states
that if you produce the best product, package it brilliantly, price it
right, distribute it will and position it to best meet the needs of
customers you must have wasted all the marketing skills if nobody knows
you have done these things.
Adirika E, Ebne B. and Nnohm D.
(1996p35) sees promotion as that component used by the organization to
inform educate and persuade the market regarding company’s offerings.
Advertising, personal selling, sales promotion, publicity and public
relations are the major variables of promotion.
Promotion is vital
ingredient of survival and development, without adequate promotion
products may not sell, when they sell their continuity is in doubt. The
art ad science of marketing promotion that comprises advertising,
personal selling, sales promotion, public relations and direct marketing
is often associated with glamour flamboyance. Infact most of the budget
of some companies is spent of promotions because of the need to survive
in the competitive marketing environment.
Coppo J. (1982 p21)
confirm that the promotional tools serve as supreme vehicle in
competition and provide the only way a market researcher can hope to
penetrate on established market. He went further to state that for a
company to excel above others in the competitive market such a company
must value the importance of promotion.
Modern marketing companies
are increasingly recognizing the value of an effective communication and
promotion programme for the entire public. This includes hair dressing
service companies.
Olakunori(19998 214) stated that the success of a
company is a society of imperfect competition to a large extent depends
on the aflectiveness ad efficiency of marketing promotional activities.
The
Emerson theory is generally now being regarded as being misleading in
today’s world of Noise and competition. A company must blow it’s trumpet
he emphasizes. Ebne noted that modern marketing does not stop at
developing a good product, pricing it attractively and making it readily
available to target customers.
The company must communicate to its
target audience, tell good stories, and disseminate information, about
the products, existence, features terms and benefit to target market.
After
8 hair dressing saloon is a leading hair dressing saloon in Enugu
metropolis. The saloon started operation in1985 with a staff strength of
size. The owner / managing director is from Accra Ghana .
The
company did not involve so much in promotional activities. The only
visible promotion if mounting the signboard which is a mere recognition
of the location of business premises. Put there is the need to appraise
the promotional strategies used by the company in facing competition in
the industry, which is becoming kneers everyday. Manufactures and
producers of goods and services are now aware that promotion does not
only inform and persuade, but strive towards profit making through
increased sales.
It is in the light of their importance attached to
promotion that the researcher seeks to make an appraisal of promotional
strategies of hair dressing saloon in Enugu metropolis using after 8
their dressing saloon as a case study.

often given by entrepreneur as a major centre of their failure. A
careful review of their circumstances often reveal abysmal ignorance of
the need for promotional skill or deliberate neglect of the necessity
for co-ordinate promotional strategies.

saloons are very optimistic about sales(patronage) they concern the
wrong notion that their goods will sell themselves forgetting that even
the best product, services still need to be stimulated in order to move

is an essential move toward creating a market.
The above scenario
applies equally to after 8 hair dressing saloon despite the numerous
advantages inherent in effective promotion and the fact that the adage
which says “of you don’t say I am nobody will say you are still” is very
time. The availability of promotional facilities, the need to use
promotion to higher competition in this industry, the use of
co-ordinated /affective promo tools by after 8 saloon in its operation
is berely evident and is negatively imposture on its operation.
