Background of the study
Customer demographics play a crucial role in shaping retail marketing strategies, as they influence purchasing behavior, preferences, and buying patterns. Retailers use demographic data such as age, gender, income level, education, and family size to segment their customer base and tailor marketing efforts (Oluwaseun & Tijani, 2023). In Jigawa State, department stores are increasingly utilizing demographic information to refine their marketing strategies, create personalized offers, and improve customer engagement.
Understanding customer demographics allows retailers to design targeted promotions, optimize product assortments, and provide customized shopping experiences that resonate with specific customer segments. However, in a diverse market like Jigawa State, where customer demographics can vary widely, it is essential for retailers to use demographic data effectively to ensure their marketing strategies are both relevant and efficient. This study will examine the role of customer demographics in shaping retail marketing strategies in department stores in Jigawa State.
Statement of the problem
Despite the importance of customer demographics in retail marketing, many department stores in Jigawa State struggle to effectively utilize demographic data to inform their marketing strategies. Retailers may lack the necessary tools or data analytics capabilities to accurately segment their customer base, resulting in generalized marketing efforts that fail to resonate with key customer groups. This study will explore the role of customer demographics in the development of marketing strategies in Jigawa State’s department stores and assess the extent to which demographic factors influence retail marketing success.
