Background of the Study
Referral marketing is a strategy that encourages existing customers to refer new customers, leveraging trust and word-of-mouth to drive business growth. For e-commerce platforms like Jumia Nigeria, referral marketing has proven to be an effective tool for increasing customer acquisition, especially in emerging markets like Adamawa State. Referral programs often incentivize both referrers and referees, creating a mutually beneficial relationship (Bello & Musa, 2023).
As internet penetration grows in Nigeria, particularly in regions like Adamawa State, referral marketing offers an opportunity to expand market reach and improve customer loyalty. This study evaluates the effectiveness of Jumia Nigeria's referral marketing strategies in driving customer engagement and sales (Ahmed & Okoro, 2024).
Statement of the Problem
Despite the potential of referral marketing, challenges such as low participation rates, poorly structured incentives, and limited awareness hinder its effectiveness. For Jumia Nigeria in Adamawa State, these challenges affect the adoption and success of referral marketing programs, potentially limiting their impact on business growth (Ojo & Adeyemi, 2025).
This study examines the effectiveness of Jumia's referral marketing strategies and identifies areas for improvement to maximize results.

Research Questions
