Abstract

This study examines the relationship between advertising and the culture of the Trophy Lager beer billboard advertisement at Offa garage area of Ilorin, which generated controversy between the advertiser and the Ilorin Emirate Descendants Progressives Union (IEDPU) in the year 2023. The study's primary purpose was to determine the perception of Ilorin residents about the Trophy Lager beer advertisement. The study was underpinned by reception theory. A survey research method was adopted, and a self-administered questionnaire served as the research instrument for this study. The views of 187 residents of Ilorin were sought on their perception of the Trophy Lager beer billboard advertisement mounted at the Offa garage area of Ilorin in the year 2023. The finding revealed that, although the Trophy billboard advertisement caught the attention of most of the residents of Ilorin, it was against the Islamic cultural relevance for which Ilorin community is known. That respect for local values was highly unfavourable. The study concludes that advertising content should mirror the society through the people's language, religious customs and ideology to motivate the target buyers to purchase the advertised products. The study recommends, among others, that further research should be carried out on the influence of the Trophy Lager beer advertisement on alcohol consumption among Ilorin youth.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of deceptive advertisements on consumers' purchase decisions. The objective is to find out if consumers in Ilorin have been exposed to deceptive advertisements and if such advertisement influences their purchasing decisions. Social judgment theory was used to support the relevance of the study on how consumers assess compelling messages before buying a product. A survey method was used and 150 respondents were selected from the study area; Surulere, Agbo Oba, and Adewole all in Ilorin metropolis. Deceptive advertisement is frequently encountered by respondents, with a notable average indicating that most individuals experience it every week. Social media serves as the primary communication channel through which respondents encounter deceptive advertisements, followed by radio and blogs. The frequent exposure to deceptive advertisements across social media, radio, and blogs indicates that such advertisements are both pervasive and repetitive. Furthermore, consumers' perceptions of deceptive advertising reveal a predominantly negative viewpoint, as the majority of respondents indicated that such advertisements exaggerate benefit claims, frequently employ misleading images or videos, engage in unfair comparisons with competitors, and utilize fraudulent celebrity endorsements. The study revealed that the pervasive and repetitive nature of deceptive advertising, along with negative consumer perceptions, resulted in a decline in trust and confidence in advertised products and services, ultimately influencing purchase decisions. The study concluded that consumers’ purchase decisions will continue to reduce if communication platforms such as social media, radio and blogs are deceptively used to promote a product. It was recommended that advertisers and advert regulatory bodies should ensure advertisement ethics are upheld for a positive perception of a product by consumers to increase the purchase decision.
