ABSTRACT This report provides an overv1e\v clear enough to understand the relationship between advertisement and sales performance. The repo1i was based on the following objectives like to examine the relationship between advertising and sales performance, examine the various advertising media that can be employed and also to identify other sales promotional elements that can be used by manufacturing firms like Britannia. The literature review highlights and analyses theories, findings and reports on the topic by previous authors and scholars. This helped provide a basis for the justification of the objectives of the report. The methodology employed a cross sectional design where both qualitative and quantitative approaches were used to clearly analyse respondents and disseminate information in the selected clusters respectively. In a bid to effect response, both questionnaire and interview tools were applied to collect data. The findings of the study reveal that advertising not only has a positive effect on sales performance but it also is cardinal and instrumental in the success of any manufacturing firm as Britannia realized. The findings further revealed that advertising accords the firm higher sales volumes, profitability and increased customer loyalty. Conclusively, it was established that there is a positive, direct and significant effect of advertising on sales performance of not only select products but all produce of Britannia allied industries. The researcher recommended that advertising should be carried out as a promotional tool to boost sales performance together with other promotional mix elements as this helps manufacturers to make essential, critical and objective decisions that will not only better sales but also ensure continuity of the production unit as a whole.
