The inability of organizations to effectively communicate their products has been confirmed to reduce their income level thereby leading to low profitability. This is partly due to their inability to effectively communicate their business to the consumers of their products or services. These are attributable to factors such as poor and ineffective communication between the producer or suppliers of products and the potential consumer (customer).

The study revealed that existence of effective business communication in an organization has a positive effect on goal achievement; enhancement of customer patronage and overall business development and this will lead to organizational profitability. The study therefore recommended that businesses should put in place effective communication system that will help in achieving higher rates of returns which will lead to higher profit.enArticle
