Background of the Study
Mobile commerce (m-commerce) refers to the buying and selling of goods and services through mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. The rapid growth of mobile internet access and the proliferation of mobile applications have transformed the way businesses engage with consumers. For e-commerce firms, adopting mobile commerce strategies has become essential to staying competitive in a digital-first marketplace. Mobile commerce enables businesses to reach a broader audience, offer personalized shopping experiences, and enhance customer convenience by facilitating on-the-go transactions.
In Katsina State, many e-commerce firms are recognizing the importance of mobile commerce in driving sales and improving customer engagement. However, the extent to which mobile commerce adoption translates into increased business revenue is not fully understood. While some firms in the region have successfully integrated mobile commerce into their business models, others face challenges such as limited mobile app development capabilities, poor internet infrastructure, and customer reluctance to adopt mobile payment methods. This study seeks to appraise the relationship between mobile commerce adoption and business revenue for e-commerce firms in Katsina State.
