Background of the Study
Digital marketing encompasses the use of online platforms, social media, and digital tools to promote products and services. For small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), digital marketing provides an opportunity to reach wider audiences, increase sales, and compete with larger organizations (Chaffey & Ellis-Chadwick, 2023). However, the adoption of digital marketing varies across regions and industries due to factors such as technological infrastructure and digital literacy.
In Nigeria, SMEs contribute significantly to economic growth but often face challenges in adopting digital marketing. In Adamawa State, limited access to digital tools, inadequate training, and financial constraints hinder SMEs from fully leveraging digital marketing opportunities (Oluwaseyi & Musa, 2024).
This study explores the level of digital marketing adoption among SMEs in Adamawa State, highlighting challenges and opportunities for growth.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the growing importance of digital marketing, many SMEs in Adamawa State struggle to adopt and integrate it into their business operations. Challenges such as poor internet access, lack of expertise, and cultural resistance to change limit the effectiveness of digital marketing (Adamu & Ibrahim, 2023).
This study examines the extent of digital marketing adoption among SMEs in Adamawa State, providing insights to address barriers and enhance adoption rates.
