Background of the study:
Email marketing remains a cornerstone of digital communication strategies for e-commerce platforms. In Kaduna, e-commerce businesses are leveraging personalized email campaigns to nurture customer relationships, promote products, and encourage repeat purchases. This study investigates the effectiveness of email marketing in driving customer retention by analyzing campaign metrics such as open rates, click-through rates, and conversion rates (Aminu, 2023). By employing segmentation and automation tools, e-commerce platforms aim to deliver tailored messages that resonate with individual consumer needs. The research examines the impact of personalized content, frequency of emails, and the overall design of email campaigns on customer loyalty. It also discusses the challenges such as high unsubscribe rates and content fatigue, which can diminish the effectiveness of email marketing efforts (Sani, 2024). Through a detailed analysis of customer data and campaign performance, this study provides insights into best practices for optimizing email marketing strategies to enhance long-term customer retention in a competitive digital marketplace.
