Background of the Study
Omnichannel retailing is a strategy that integrates various sales channels, such as physical stores, online platforms, mobile apps, and social media, to create a seamless and cohesive customer experience. In recent years, omnichannel strategies have gained traction in the retail industry due to the increasing shift in consumer behavior towards digital platforms, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic (Abdulahi et al., 2024). In Plateau State, shopping malls are central to retail activity, but they face growing competition from both traditional retail outlets and online platforms. As such, shopping mall operators in the state are increasingly adopting omnichannel strategies to enhance customer engagement and improve sales performance.

By incorporating digital tools such as e-commerce websites, mobile apps, and social media into their retail operations, shopping malls can offer customers the flexibility to shop online and in-store, providing a more convenient and personalized shopping experience (Ajayi & Yusuf, 2023). However, the success of omnichannel retailing hinges on a business’s ability to integrate these channels effectively and ensure consistent customer interactions across them. The challenge faced by many shopping malls in Plateau State is determining the best ways to engage customers through omnichannel retailing and measure the impact of this strategy on customer loyalty and retention.

Statement of the Problem
Despite the growing adoption of omnichannel retailing by shopping malls in Plateau State, there is limited research on the effectiveness of these strategies in enhancing customer engagement. Many shopping malls may be struggling with integrating their online and offline channels, resulting in inconsistent customer experiences.
