Background of the Study
Personalized marketing has become an increasingly popular strategy for retail businesses seeking to engage customers on a deeper level and drive sales growth. This approach uses consumer data to tailor marketing messages, offers, and experiences to individual preferences, behaviors, and needs (Sharma & Verma, 2024). In the fashion retail sector, where trends and consumer preferences are highly dynamic, personalized marketing can significantly enhance customer loyalty, increase conversion rates, and improve the overall shopping experience (Singh & Kaur, 2025). The rise of digital technologies and data analytics has enabled fashion retailers to collect and analyze consumer data in ways that were previously unimaginable, creating opportunities for hyper-targeted marketing campaigns that resonate with individual consumers (Evans, 2023).
In Benue State, fashion retailers are increasingly adopting personalized marketing strategies as a response to the growing competition in the retail market. The state’s urbanization, increasing youth population, and growing interest in fashion products make it an ideal context for examining the effectiveness of personalized marketing in retail sales (Afolabi & Adewale, 2024). Fashion retailers in Benue are leveraging digital platforms, customer relationship management systems, and artificial intelligence to tailor marketing efforts, offering personalized recommendations, discounts, and promotions (Ugwu & Ladi, 2025). However, the adoption of personalized marketing is not without challenges, such as concerns over data privacy, consumer trust, and the cost of implementing sophisticated marketing technologies (Adewale & Fadipe, 2024).
This study aims to explore the impact of personalized marketing on retail sales in fashion retail businesses in Benue State, investigating how personalized marketing initiatives influence customer behavior, sales performance, and brand loyalty. By focusing on fashion retailers, the research will provide insights into how this strategy can be leveraged to enhance sales outcomes and customer engagement in the Nigerian retail market.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the growing interest in personalized marketing, there is limited empirical research examining its impact on retail sales, particularly within Nigeria's fashion retail sector. In Benue State, fashion retailers are adopting various forms of personalized marketing, but the effectiveness of these efforts remains uncertain. Retailers face challenges in implementing personalized marketing strategies due to limited access to advanced technologies, inadequate data analytics capabilities, and the high costs of personalization tools. Additionally, there is a lack of understanding of how consumers in Benue respond to personalized marketing messages and whether these strategies lead to increased sales and customer loyalty.
This study seeks to address these gaps by examining the impact of personalized marketing on retail sales in fashion retail businesses in Benue State. The research will also explore the barriers and challenges faced by retailers in adopting personalized marketing strategies, as well as the factors that influence consumer acceptance and response to personalized marketing efforts.
