Background of the Study
In the highly competitive e-commerce sector, customer retention is a critical factor for sustained growth and profitability. Data-driven marketing strategies, which rely on insights derived from customer data, enable businesses to personalize their offerings, enhance customer experiences, and build long-term loyalty. E-commerce businesses in Nigeria are increasingly adopting these strategies to address high customer churn rates and intense competition.
Bauchi State, like other regions in Nigeria, has witnessed significant growth in e-commerce activities, driven by increased internet penetration and mobile device usage. However, retaining customers remains a challenge due to factors such as limited trust in online transactions and inconsistent service delivery. Recent studies (Adebayo & Yusuf, 2024; Ahmed, 2025) suggest that data-driven marketing can address these challenges by providing actionable insights into customer behavior and preferences. This study examines the impact of data-driven marketing strategies on customer retention in e-commerce businesses in Bauchi State.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the potential of data-driven marketing strategies to improve customer retention, many e-commerce businesses in Bauchi State fail to leverage customer data effectively. Challenges such as limited access to quality data, inadequate analytical tools, and lack of expertise hinder the implementation of these strategies.
Research by Bello and Ibrahim (2023) reveals that while data-driven marketing has proven effective in global e-commerce markets, its application in Nigeria remains limited due to infrastructural and operational constraints. This study seeks to explore the effectiveness of data-driven marketing strategies in retaining customers and identify barriers to their successful implementation in Bauchi State.
