Discussion
Interpretation of the results
Age Distribution:
The concentration of respondents in the 18-54 age group suggests that this
demographic plays a significant role in market interactions at SOQE Bab Elhad. The higher
representation in the 35-44 age group could indicate a particular consumer segment that
requires attention to marketing strategies.
Gender Distribution:

engaging in market activities. This finding could be crucial for sellers in tailoring their
communication strategies to align with the preferences and needs of female customers.
Occupation Distribution:
The majority being employed full-time (60%) implies a potential consumer base with
disposable income. Sellers might consider adapting their product offerings and communication
styles to cater to the purchasing power of this demographic.
Frequency of Market Visits:
The high percentage of respondents visiting the market once a month (60%) highlights a
consistent customer base. Sellers could benefit from developing strategies to attract and retain
these regular customers.

Comparison with Hypothesis:

Hypothesis:
There is no significant relationship between the communication strategies employed by
sellers at SOQE Bab Elhad and the level of customer engagement.

Findings:
Verbal Communication Effectiveness:
 The survey results indicate varying perceptions of verbal communication effectiveness,
suggesting that different communication strategies may impact customer engagement
differently. This contrasts with the hypothesis, implying that there may indeed be a relationship
between communication strategies and customer engagement.

Informativeness of Non-Verbal Cues:

A significant proportion of respondents find non-verbal cues very informative. This
finding challenges the notion that communication strategies have no significant relationship
with customer engagement, as non-verbal cues seem to play a role in influencing customer
perceptions and interactions.

Likelihood of Making a Purchase:

The high likelihood of making a purchase based on seller communication contradicts
the hypothesis. The results suggest that effective communication strategies can positively
influence customer behavior, supporting the idea of a potential relationship between
communication strategies and customer engagement.

Overall Assessment:
The survey findings present evidence suggesting that there is, indeed, a significant
relationship between the communication strategies employed by sellers at SOQE Bab Elhad and
the level of customer engagement. The nuances observed in the age, gender, and frequency of
market visits further underscore the need for sellers to adopt tailored communication
approaches.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, this research provides valuable insights into the dynamics of seller-
customer interactions at SOQE Bab Elhad. The demographic patterns, occupational insights, and
frequency of market visits offer a nuanced understanding of the market's consumer base. The
effectiveness of communication strategies, as revealed through survey findings, underscores
the significance of tailored approaches to engage different demographic groups successfully.
Contrary to the initial hypothesis, the research findings suggest a significant relationship
between communication strategies employed by sellers and the level of customer engagement.
Non-verbal cues emerged as influential in shaping customer perceptions and interactions. This
challenges the notion that communication strategies have no significant relationship with
customer engagement.
This study contributes to both academic discourse and practical strategies employed by
sellers, offering a foundation for future research in market communication dynamics and
cultural influences. It is imperative for sellers to continually adapt their approaches based on
such insights to thrive in the dynamic and competitive marketplace of SOQE Bab Elhad.
