Background of the study
Integrated marketing automation has transformed the way online retailers manage and execute marketing campaigns. This study explores how an online retailer in Kaduna leverages marketing automation tools to streamline campaign processes, enhance targeting, and improve overall efficiency. By integrating customer data, automated email marketing, social media scheduling, and real-time analytics, the retailer can deliver personalized and timely messages that boost campaign performance (Adeniran, 2023). Marketing automation not only reduces manual workload but also facilitates rapid adjustments based on consumer behavior and market trends, leading to increased campaign efficiency and higher conversion rates (Okafor, 2024). However, challenges such as system integration, data accuracy, and technological complexity can impede optimal performance. This study investigates how these automation tools are implemented, the benefits they provide, and the potential barriers that online retailers face in Kaduna. It also aims to offer strategic recommendations for enhancing campaign efficiency through effective marketing automation (Balogun, 2025).
Statement of the problem
Online retailers in Kaduna often struggle with inefficient marketing campaign execution due to a lack of integrated automation systems. The absence of a streamlined process leads to delays, inconsistent messaging, and missed opportunities for real-time optimization. Despite investing in various digital tools, retailers experience challenges in data integration and automation that hinder campaign efficiency. This study seeks to identify the key obstacles to implementing integrated marketing automation and assess their impact on campaign performance (Adeniran, 2023; Okafor, 2024).
