Background of the Study
Personalized product recommendations are a key feature of online retailing that have become increasingly popular in recent years. By analyzing customer data, such as past purchases, browsing history, and preferences, retailers can create personalized shopping experiences that encourage consumers to make more frequent and higher-value purchases. These personalized recommendations help to streamline the shopping experience, making it easier for customers to discover products that suit their tastes and needs.
Shoprite, a leading supermarket chain in Nigeria, has embraced personalized recommendations as part of its online retail strategy. In Kebbi State, where online retail is gaining popularity but still faces challenges related to access to technology and internet connectivity, Shoprite has utilized personalized marketing to improve customer experiences and increase sales. By offering tailored product suggestions based on individual customer preferences, Shoprite is able to differentiate itself from competitors and foster deeper customer loyalty.
This study will examine the effectiveness of personalized product recommendations in Shoprite’s online retail operations in Kebbi State. It will assess how these recommendations influence customer purchasing behavior, satisfaction, and overall engagement with the brand. The study will also explore the role of technology in enabling personalized marketing in the retail sector.
