4.0 Preamble
This chapter is concerned with the presentation, analysis and interpretation of data
gathered from the responses to administered questionnaires. It also includes an empirical testing
of hypothesis made about this study and each of their interpretations. It should be noted that
Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) was used for analyzing frequencies and testing
research hypotheses.
A total of One hundred and Seventy One (171) copies of questionnaire were distributed
to staffs of Kam-Wire Manufacturing, Ilorin Kwara State for this study. Out of which One
hundred and Fifty Nine (159) copies of questionnaire representing 92.9% were completed and
returned, and Twelve (12) copies of questionnaire representing 7.1% were not returned or not
filled appropriately,

Organizational performance also consists of two variables which include market share and
service quality. The study tries to examine if organizational performance is affected by Sales
promotion and the study shows a positive relationship between the two variables, this finding can
be likened to the study conduct by Cross (2018), which was carried out in Kaduna to identify the
effects of marketing strategies on organizational performance that production strategy, pricing
strategy, promotion strategy and place strategy, have a direct influence on performance of
Nigerian bottling company. The findings also made know that sales promotion plays an
important role in contributing to the performance of employee in Kam Wire Manufacturing,
Ilorin. Also from information gathered through questionnaires distributed within the staffs of this
organization, this finding also can be traced to the findings of (Isaac & Loretta, 2015), where it
was made known through theor reaesrch that Sales Promotions plays an imporatant role on the
performance of auto mobile industrues in Ghana.
