Background of the study:
Data analytics has revolutionized marketing by enabling businesses to tailor strategies based on consumer behavior and preferences. Retail chains in Kaduna are increasingly leveraging data analytics to develop personalized marketing strategies that enhance customer engagement and drive sales (Umeh, 2023). Through the use of big data, predictive analytics, and machine learning algorithms, these retailers can segment their customer base, identify emerging trends, and create targeted campaigns that resonate with individual shoppers. Personalized marketing strategies lead to higher conversion rates and improved customer satisfaction by delivering relevant offers, recommendations, and content. This approach not only boosts short-term sales but also builds long-term loyalty by fostering a more intimate connection with the brand. However, challenges such as data privacy, integration of disparate data sources, and the complexity of interpreting large datasets can impede effective implementation. This study investigates how data analytics influences personalized marketing strategies, evaluating its impact on sales performance and customer retention, and offering recommendations for optimizing data-driven marketing initiatives (Ibrahim, 2024).
Statement of the problem:
Although data analytics offers significant opportunities for personalized marketing, retail chains in Kaduna face challenges in integrating and utilizing data effectively. Issues such as inconsistent data quality, privacy concerns, and the technical complexity of advanced analytics can hinder the creation of truly personalized campaigns (Umeh, 2023). These challenges lead to suboptimal targeting and missed revenue opportunities, necessitating a detailed evaluation of current practices and the development of strategies to enhance data-driven personalization (Ibrahim, 2024).

To assess the impact of data analytics on personalized marketing strategies.
To identify challenges in integrating and utilizing consumer data.

The findings will help retail chains in Kaduna enhance customer engagement, improve conversion rates, and increase revenue through better targeted campaigns (Ibrahim, 2024).
