CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION:
The World is fast becoming a global village and a necessary tool for this process is communication of which communication is a key player.
The development in the telecommunication industry all over the world is very rapid as one innovation replaces another in a matter of weeks. A major breakthrough is the wireless telephone system which comes in either fixed wireless telephone lines or the global system of mobile communication (GSM) communication without doubt is a major driver of any economy. Emerging trends in socio economic growth shows a high premium being placed on information and communication technology (ICT) by homes, organization and nations.
Nigeria is not left out in this race for rapid development as the nations economy has been subject to years of economic reversal via mismanagement and bad leadership. The Nigeria telecommunication sector was grossly underdeveloped before the sector was deregulated under the military regime of General Ibrahim Babagida in 1992 with the establishment of a regulatory body; the Nigeria Communication Commission (NCC). So far the NCC has issued various licenses to private communication operators this include (7) seven fixed telephone providers that have activated 90,000 lines; 45 Internet Service Providers with a customer of about 17,000. Several VSAT service providers are in operations and have improved financial intermediation by providing on-line banking services to bank in Nigeria. These licenses allowed Private Telephone Operators ( PTOs) to roll out both fixed wireless telephone lines and analogue mobile phones. The return of democracy in 1992 paved the way for the granting of GSM license to (3) three service providers: MTN NIGERIA, CELTEL WIRELESS NIGERIA AND NITEL PLC now TRANSCORP in 2001.

1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY:
The journey to success in Nigeria’s telecommunication industry has been long and tortuous facilities in Nigeria were first established in 1886 by the colonial administration. At independence in 1960, with a population of roughly 40 million people. The country only has about 18,724 phone lines for use. This translated to a tele density of about 0.5 telephone network consisted of 121 exchange of which 116 were of the manual (magneto) type and only 5 were automatic.

Between 1960 and 1985, the telecommunication sector consisted of the department of Post & Telecommunication ( P&T) in charge of internal network and a limited liability company, the Nigeria External Telecommunication NET Limited is responsible for the external telecommunications (Services) NET provides the gateway to the outside world. The installed switching capacity at the end of 1985 was about 20,000 lines as against the planned target of about 460,000. All the exchanges were analogue, telephone penetration remained poor equaling 1 telephone line to 440 inhabitants well below the target of 1 telephone to 100 inhabitants recommended by ITU for developing countries. The quality of services was largely unsatisfactory.

1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The most obvious problems of telecommunication service like GLO (NIG) LTD is how to provide effective services to the nation has been yearning for an improved telecommunication services for a long period of time. In response to that, the Federal Government provided for the creation of a company that will function purely on commercial basis.

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY.
Sales promotion involves the marketing activities other than advertising, publicity or personal selling, that stimulate consumers’ purchase and dealer effectiveness. The success of any organization largely depends on customers’ patronage.

Before any product or service can be sold, the use of promotional technique and communication is very necessary for achieving the target objectives of that organization. The customers are very important in this present era, this is because without the consumers there will be no marketing and promotional activities of products for effective sales promotion, the consumers have to be aware of that product before it can be patronized for rapid sales.

Sales promotion is any initiative undertaken by an organization to promote an increase in sales, usage or trial of a product (i.e initiative that are not covered by the other elements of the marketing communications or promotional mix). Sales promotion are varied often, they are original and creative and hence a comprehensive list of all available techniques is virtually impossible (since organizational sales promotion are launched daily). There are some of the examples of popular sales promotion activities for examples-: tasting of food and drink at sampling points in supermarkets.

Discounted prices: the reduction in the price of a product within a short period of time. Competitions and prize draw, in Newspapers, Magazines, on the Television, Radio and Internet, sales promotion is growing rapidly in recent years because of the consumer behavior towards the patronizing of products and services.

INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Study
Advertising has become a part of our everyday life. However we are seeing many advertisements in TV, newspaper, magazine, radio, Internet etc. and we are affected by those advertisements consciously or unconsciously. Advertising is fascinating and provocative. Advertising creates customer awareness of the product and builds positive psychological associations that can enhance the buyer satisfaction (Wanoff, 1997). Consumer’s interest is provoked and sustained in the product. The purpose of advertising is to make potential buyers respond more favourably to the firm’s offering. Advertising provides information to customers creates and modifies their desires and provides reasons for preferring a particular product. Captivating and persuasive advertisements create wants through passive compulsion, which makes the consumers to buy the product. Advertising creates demand, and thereby, accelerates the growth in the gross domestic product. It also helps society by improving competition, lowering prices, encouraging more product choices, supporting the media and providing information. Advertising seems to go beyond merely selling products or ideas and can shape social trends and attitudes in powerful ways. However, advertising has been accused of harming society on the ground that it creates an unnecessary hype for the products and also manifests wants for superfluous products and services (Ammani, 2008)

 

The role of advertising in the sales of a Beverage Company in Nigeria cannot be underestimated, therefore, advertising is defined “as a tool which marketers use to communicate message to consumer, the general public and special public such as voters, and to the carriers of the messages like Televisions, Newspapers and magazines known as the media,. Unlike personal selling some sales promotion and public relations techniques advertising are in impersonal means of communication. It is an impersonal promotion to groups and paid for by an identified sponsor.
Advertising has grown in recent times due to relative increase in productivity and consequent changes in the uncontrollable marketing environment where corresponding changes in technology, socio-cultural pattern, economic venture and legal advancement also take place. It is not enough to produce and simply anticipate that consumers would become aware of the particular product, especially in a developing country like Nigeria. The producer has to engage in promotional activities. Robin Peterson asserts that advertising has played vital roles, which includes making consumers to be aware of existence of new products in the market, services or idea and the continued existence of old product that are already in the market. It will not be easy for the members of the public to be aware of these without advertising. It also informs and educates the people on how to make use of that particular product or service
Advertising also informs people where to obtain goods and services
It also improves the quality of goods and services. Lastly, advertising makes consumers increase the volume of their purchase.

 

In essence, advertising is among the various devices that designed to pull or push products through the market. And the resulted effect of the use of advertising is an increase in the sales volume as compared to the past records in which advertising were not used. Thus, advertising can be seen as a form of promotion/communication mix which greatly enhances the sales of a product.

1.2 Statement of General Problem
Most organizations are facing problem with selecting advertising as a medium to reach the consumer successfully. Selecting the right media to target the right customer is an essential step in advertising. Advertising plays a vital role in creating awareness, but many organizations lack understand the demographic, psychographic, cultural,

  • HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF UNILEVER

Unilever is a company engaged in the manufacturing and marketing at detergents, soaps, creams, toothpaste, squash drinks, edible oil and fats, tea and coffee. Unilever Nigeria Plc formerly Lever Brother Nigeria Plc RC 113) was established in April 1923 as Lever Brother (West Africa). Limited in 1955. It changed to Lever Brothers Nigeria Plc in 1973 and subsequently to Unilever Nigeria Plc in 2000. Lipton of Nigeria limited was merged with the company on the 31st of July 1985. In compliance with the Nigeria Enterprises promotion act of 1972, forty percent (40%) of the company equity capital was sold to Nigeria citizens and institutions by Unilever (common wealth holding Limited). This percentage was increased to 60% in 1978, spread over 31,000 individuals and institutional Nigerian share-holders. The balance of 40% is currently hold by Unilever (Common Wealth Holdings) Limited. The company started with the production of bar soaps using local palm oil, this has now extended to international brands such as Lux, Astral and Asepso soaps.

 

Also produced by Unilever Nigeria Plc are Omo and surf detergents, pepsodent and close-up tooth pastes and tree top squash drinks.

 

Aba factory built in 1957, producing detergents at Agbara is food factory which was commission in 1983 and Oregun, the latest after the merger of Unilever over seas with Lever Brother Nigeria Plc, where the manufacturing of personal products brands is consolidated.

Unilever is the oldest surviving manufacturing outfit in Nigeria today. The business as conceived by the founder Lord Lever Iulme, was basically to manufacture soaps over the years, however, it has diversified into the production and marketing of non-soap detergents, food and personal products. Unilever Nigeria Plc is a multi-local and multi-national company. Through selective acquisition and mergers, the company’s range of quality product has broadened with breath and depth. These include Omo, Lux, fresh Esteem, hair care range, Vaseline, blue band, Breadeen, Royco Lipton Yelow label tea etc.

 

A major restructuring of the company was effected early in 1998, for a more effective control and management, the post of chairman and managing director formerly held by an individuals was split, thus, on 1st January 1998, Mr. Felix Ohiwere was appointed chairman and Mr. R.E Clanke become Vice chairman and chief Executive.

 

The company also changed from its individual structure to functional one. Unilever Nigeria Plc now has a functional director of corporate relations, personnel, logistics, finance, marketing and customer services and technical duties. The organizational structure, the company now runs makes it slimmer and fitter for the very Nigeria socio-economic operating environment.

The company remains a good, responsible and responsive corporate citizen that has the interest of the communities, public and stake-holders very much in their heart.

 

Quality is the company’s watchword and no effort is spared in ensuring every product that comes off the production line is high quality in accordance with international quantity standard. They also embark on sales promotion to market their product
