Background of the Study
The rise of e-commerce platforms has revolutionized the retail landscape, enabling businesses to cater to diverse customer bases through digital channels. Understanding customer purchase behavior is critical for online businesses to develop personalized marketing strategies, optimize inventory management, and improve user experience (Afolabi & Hassan, 2024). Customer purchase behavior analytics leverages tools such as clickstream data, purchase history, and browsing patterns to predict and influence consumer decisions.
In Kebbi State, where e-commerce adoption is gradually increasing, online businesses face challenges in interpreting customer behavior due to limited access to advanced analytics tools and fragmented data sources. This study critically analyzes the role of customer purchase behavior analytics in improving e-commerce outcomes, focusing on online businesses in Kebbi State.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the increasing adoption of e-commerce in Nigeria, many businesses in Kebbi State struggle to utilize customer purchase behavior analytics effectively. Factors such as inadequate technological infrastructure, lack of skilled personnel, and data privacy concerns limit the adoption of these tools (Usman & Ibrahim, 2025).
While studies have explored customer behavior analytics globally, there is limited research on its application in the unique socio-economic context of Kebbi State. This gap highlights the need for a critical analysis of the impact and challenges of using analytics to understand customer purchase behavior in this region.
