Background of the Study
Loyalty programs have become an essential tool for businesses aiming to retain customers and increase their purchase frequency. By offering rewards, discounts, and exclusive benefits, organizations encourage customers to maintain a long-term relationship with their brand (Kotler & Keller, 2023). Loyalty programs have been widely adopted across industries, including telecommunications, as a way to foster customer loyalty and drive revenue growth.
In Nigeria, the telecom sector is highly competitive, with companies like Airtel Nigeria continuously seeking innovative strategies to attract and retain customers. Niger State represents a critical market for Airtel, where the company aims to leverage loyalty programs to enhance customer retention and increase usage frequency (Ogunleye & Musa, 2024).
This study explores the effect of loyalty programs on customer purchase frequency, focusing on Airtel Nigeria’s operations in Niger State.
Statement of the Problem
While loyalty programs are widely used in the telecommunications industry, their effectiveness in influencing customer purchase frequency often depends on factors such as program design, reward relevance, and customer engagement. Airtel Nigeria faces challenges in Niger State, including low awareness of its loyalty programs, customer skepticism, and inconsistent reward delivery (Adamu & Hassan, 2023).
This study examines how Airtel’s loyalty programs impact customer purchase frequency, identifying gaps and proposing solutions to enhance their effectiveness.
