Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Mobile app advertising has rapidly emerged as a potent tool in the digital marketing landscape, offering businesses a direct and personalized way to reach consumers. With the increasing penetration of smartphones in Nigeria, including rural areas such as Wamba LGA in Nasarawa State, mobile app advertising has the potential to influence consumer behavior significantly. Studies by Oladipo and Adebayo (2023) highlight how mobile app advertisements, through notifications and targeted promotions, can drive consumer engagement and influence purchasing decisions. In Wamba LGA, where mobile usage is growing but still limited compared to urban centers, understanding the impact of mobile app advertising on consumer behavior is crucial for businesses seeking to engage local markets. This study aims to explore the perceived impact of mobile app advertising on consumer behavior in Wamba LGA, focusing on how it shapes purchasing decisions and consumer preferences.
