Background of the study:
Cross-channel marketing integration involves the seamless coordination of marketing efforts across multiple platforms to create a unified customer experience. In Port Harcourt, travel agencies are increasingly adopting this approach to enhance customer engagement and streamline communications. This study examines how integrating digital and traditional marketing channels—such as social media, email, mobile applications, and offline advertising—can create a cohesive brand experience that improves customer satisfaction (Afolabi, 2023). By delivering consistent messages and personalized content across channels, travel agencies can build stronger relationships with their customers and foster loyalty (Eze, 2024). The research delves into the role of technology in facilitating cross-channel integration and explores the impact of coordinated marketing strategies on customer perceptions of service quality. In today’s competitive travel industry, providing a seamless customer journey is essential for differentiation and long-term success. Recent studies indicate that effective cross-channel integration not only enhances customer experience but also improves operational efficiency and increases overall customer lifetime value (Udo, 2023). This investigation seeks to provide actionable insights for travel agencies aiming to optimize their marketing strategies through integrated channel approaches.

Travel agencies in Port Harcourt face significant challenges in providing a consistent and satisfying customer experience due to fragmented marketing channels. Despite considerable investment in digital technologies, there is a persistent gap between online and offline communications that undermines customer engagement and satisfaction (Afolabi, 2023).
