Background of the Study
Direct marketing involves direct communication between businesses and potential customers through channels such as emails, SMS, telemarketing, and personalized offers. These techniques are designed to elicit immediate responses and drive customer acquisition (Ibrahim & Suleiman, 2024).
Konga, a prominent e-commerce platform in Nigeria, uses direct marketing to attract new customers and encourage repeat purchases. In Bauchi State, where digital literacy and internet access are improving, Konga leverages direct marketing techniques to reach a growing customer base and promote its products and services (Adekunle & Usman, 2023).
However, the effectiveness of direct marketing is influenced by factors such as message relevance, timing, and customer preferences. This study evaluates the role of direct marketing techniques in customer acquisition at Konga, analyzing their strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for improvement.
