Background of the Study
Omnichannel marketing refers to a multi-channel approach that provides customers with a seamless and integrated shopping experience across all platforms, whether in-store, online, or through mobile apps. As digital transformation accelerates, companies are increasingly adopting omnichannel strategies to meet the evolving expectations of consumers who now interact with brands across multiple touchpoints. The objective is to create a consistent brand experience, allowing customers to transition between channels effortlessly while maintaining a high level of service and personalization.
GTBank, one of Nigeria’s leading commercial banks, has adopted an omnichannel marketing approach to enhance customer engagement and improve the overall banking experience. In Kano State, where digital banking adoption has been growing, GTBank has implemented a range of services such as mobile banking apps, online platforms, physical branches, and customer service centers. These initiatives are designed to provide a comprehensive and convenient banking experience for customers.
The study aims to explore the impact of GTBank’s omnichannel marketing strategy on customer experience in Kano State. It will investigate how the integration of various service channels influences customer satisfaction, loyalty, and overall perceptions of the bank.
