Abstract
This study was conducted to find out how the Tobacco Industry in Nigeria can use
Sales promotion effectively to stimulate sales volume.
The Nigerian Tobacco Company was selected as a case study.
The main instrument of data collection was the questionnaire. Two sets of which
were designed for the purpose of the study. One set of questionnaires were
administered on consumers while the second set were administered on marketing
and sales personnel of NTC Zaria.
Major findings of the study include the following:
;i) Sales promotion is very necessary for stimulating short term sales volume.
b) Sales promotion does not create brand loyalty.
c) It does not lead consumers to adopt the promoted product.

Another important finding is that the most effective medium to use for sales
promotion activities is the television.
