A multi-stage sampling technique was used to choose the sample of 206. The data generated for the study was analyzed using both descriptive statistics and regression analysis. Finding revealed that cost-leadership strategy has significant effect on the profitability of SMEs in Sokoto State, and that differentiation strategy has significant effects on the market share of SMEs in Sokoto State.
