Background of the Study
Digital marketing has revolutionized the way businesses reach and engage with consumers, particularly in emerging markets like Nigeria. For tech startups in Kebbi State, digital marketing provides an effective platform to introduce innovative products and services, build brand awareness, and attract customers without the high costs of traditional advertising. With the rise of the internet and social media, digital marketing strategies such as search engine optimization (SEO), social media marketing, content marketing, and email campaigns are becoming essential tools for business growth (Adebanjo, 2023).
Tech startups, which focus on technology-driven products or services, face significant challenges in capturing the attention of their target audience. The need for strong digital marketing strategies that influence consumer behavior has never been more pressing, especially given the highly competitive nature of the technology sector. In Kebbi State, where technology adoption is still developing, tech startups need to effectively leverage digital marketing tools to shape consumer perceptions and purchasing decisions (Yakubu & Saleh, 2024). Digital marketing allows startups to access a larger audience, including individuals in urban and rural areas who may otherwise be unreachable through traditional marketing.
While there is a growing body of literature on the effectiveness of digital marketing in influencing consumer behavior, there is limited research focused on tech startups in Kebbi State. This study seeks to analyze the digital marketing strategies employed by tech startups in Kebbi State and how these strategies influence consumer behavior.
