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. d) The most effective sales promotion technique is the one that offers cash prizes. Another important finding is that the most effective medium to use for sales promotion activities is the television.
