INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of Study

Advertising is one of the most common strategies used to direct persuasive communication to target buyers and public. Achumba and Osuagwu (1994) quote the American Marketing Association (AMA) as defining advertising as any paid form of non-personal presentation.
Advertising on television offers a number of benefits to businesses by incorporating sound, images and movement to make the whole package interesting for consumers.
Advertising on television is the ability to communicate with a very large audience. Most companies adopt various marketing approaches in a bid to maintain or increase profit margins, market shares or sales volume of their product or services.
Television commercials have always been able to appeal to multiple senses through its combination of text, images, sound and motion.
Television is a powerful advertising medium, it relies on both sound and visual effects. These effects can be used in combination to catch the attention of the audience and then reinforce their retention rate by repeating message using both audio and video.
The role of a good commercial includes creation of awareness, generation of favourable attitude and preference in consumers mind for the demand of the particular brand.
Hence, a good commercial is one that is capable of attracting attention, making consumers develop interest, making them desire to buy the product and use the product. Television reaches a large variety of individuals with different backgrounds which makes it cost efficient for advertisers to reach a mass audience.
A well created television commercial draws the audience to watch it. According to a study by Ball state university, the average individual watches television for more than 4 ½ hours a day. This is more time than individuals spend listening to the radio or reading the newspaper, this increases the visibility of television commercials.
Commercial also known as advertising is a specialized form of communication because in order to satisfy the market function it has to influence the choice of the consumers.
Commercial is one of the most efficient tools that manufacturing companies utilize to create more demand for their products on account of its capacity to reach a large number of people at a relatively short time cost.
Radio advertisers can only appeal to one of the senses of their listeners (hearing). Television on the other hand can take advantage of both the senses of hearing and of vision by appealing to both senses.
A sale price can be spoken during the television commercial then reinforced with a graphic on the television, using a high quality graphic can make it easier for the customers to remember a product than just hearing about it.
To achieve optimum and lasting results all relevant marketing elements should be effectively coordinated with commercial.
The importance of commercial as a marketing promotional activity is to promote product and service flow through appropriate channels, to act as a catalyst in acquainting the consumer with options by which wants may be satisfied.
Television commercial is still the most persuasive and powerful tool for reaching consumers, television commercial has tremendous effect on consumers just by repetition and exposure of catchy jingles and slogans.
Commercial can be classified into:
(A) Print media.
(B) Electronic media.
The print media include: newspapers, magazines, outdoor posters, bill boards, journals and novelties etc. The electronic media include: radio, television, internet etc.
Demand for product is created through effective commercial. A product with good qualities, pricing strategies and packaging, but not properly advertised will die a premature death.
One of the biggest advantages of using television is the fact that it provides a lasting image in the memories of the consumers through its visual effect.
Television commercial has intimate approach due to which it becomes more appealing and attracts the attention and interest of people, as it combines elements such as: sight, sound and motion.
Television breaks the barrier of illiteracy as due to its combination of sight, sound and motion, understanding the message becomes easier, whereas with the print media like newspapers and magazines, readers have to put a lot of efforts on reading and understanding the message which may not be possible for illiterates.

MORE DESCRIPTION:

The impact of Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) commercials on consumer demand can be significant and multifaceted. NTA, as one of Nigeria’s largest and most influential television networks, has a wide viewership and reach across the country. Therefore, its commercials can have several effects on consumer demand:

  1. Awareness Generation: NTA commercials are an effective means of creating awareness about products and services. When consumers see advertisements on NTA, they become aware of various brands and offerings available in the market. This awareness can lead to increased demand for those products and services.
  2. Brand Building: NTA commercials help in building and reinforcing brand images. Consistent and persuasive advertising can create a positive perception of a brand in the minds of consumers, making them more likely to choose that brand when making purchasing decisions.
  3. Influence on Consumer Preferences: NTA commercials can influence consumer preferences. Well-crafted advertisements can highlight the unique features and benefits of a product, making it more appealing to consumers and potentially leading to increased demand for that product.
  4. Educational Content: NTA commercials can also educate consumers about the use and benefits of certain products. This educational aspect can help consumers better understand how a product can meet their needs, leading to increased demand for products they previously might not have considered.
  5. Promotion and Discounts: NTA commercials often promote sales, discounts, and special offers. These promotions can create a sense of urgency and encourage consumers to make immediate purchases, thereby increasing short-term demand for the advertised products.
  6. Cultural and Social Influence: NTA commercials often incorporate cultural and social elements that resonate with the Nigerian audience. These elements can connect with viewers on a deeper level, leading to increased demand as consumers feel a sense of cultural or social alignment with the advertised products or services.
  7. Product Launches: NTA is often chosen as a platform for launching new products or services due to its wide reach. Commercials showcasing new products can generate curiosity and excitement among consumers, leading to a surge in demand during the initial launch phase.
  8. Competitive Impact: NTA commercials can also influence the competitive landscape. When one brand advertises heavily on NTA, it may prompt competitors to respond with their own advertising efforts, leading to increased competition and potentially higher consumer demand as brands vie for consumers’ attention.
  9. Consumer Trust: Over time, if consumers trust NTA as a reliable source of information, they may be more inclined to trust the products and services advertised on the network. This trust can lead to increased demand for products and services featured in NTA commercials.
  10. Long-Term Effects: The impact of NTA commercials on consumer demand can extend beyond short-term increases. Through consistent and effective advertising, brands can build long-term customer loyalty, which can lead to sustained demand for their products over time.

It’s important to note that the effectiveness of NTA commercials on consumer demand can vary depending on factors such as the quality of the advertisements, the competitiveness of the market, consumer preferences, and economic conditions. Additionally, the rise of digital media and online advertising has added another dimension to the advertising landscape, impacting how consumers respond to television commercials.
