Background of the Study
Social media analytics has become a critical tool for businesses seeking to engage with customers effectively. By analyzing data from social media platforms, businesses can gain insights into customer behavior, preferences, and trends, enabling them to tailor their marketing strategies and enhance customer experiences. According to Eze and Bello (2023), social media analytics helps brands monitor sentiment, measure campaign performance, and identify engagement opportunities.
Fashion brands in Sokoto State face unique challenges in reaching their target audience due to cultural diversity, varying consumer preferences, and increasing competition. Social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter have emerged as key channels for customer engagement, allowing brands to showcase their products and interact with customers. However, as noted by Adamu and Salisu (2024), many fashion brands in the region lack the expertise and tools to effectively leverage social media analytics, limiting their ability to maximize engagement.
This study explores the role of social media analytics in improving customer engagement among fashion brands in Sokoto State, highlighting best practices and challenges in its implementation.
