Background of the study
Mobile commerce strategies have revolutionized the way consumers shop online, making it easier and faster to complete transactions. This study assesses how an online marketplace in Port Harcourt leverages mobile commerce strategies—such as mobile-friendly design, in-app payment systems, and personalized shopping experiences—to increase purchase frequency. By optimizing the mobile shopping experience, the marketplace aims to reduce friction in the buying process and encourage repeat purchases (Ibrahim, 2023). Research indicates that effective mobile commerce strategies can lead to higher conversion rates, increased customer satisfaction, and improved loyalty. However, challenges such as technical glitches, security concerns, and inconsistent user experiences may affect overall purchase frequency. This study will analyze transaction data, user behavior, and customer feedback to determine the effectiveness of mobile commerce tactics in driving frequent purchases and to propose recommendations for further optimization (Okoro, 2024; Chinwe, 2025).
Statement of the problem
Online marketplaces in Port Harcourt often experience lower than expected purchase frequency due to suboptimal mobile commerce strategies. Issues such as poor website responsiveness, security concerns, and a lack of personalized user experiences can deter repeat purchases. Despite the increasing reliance on mobile shopping, gaps in technology integration and customer service contribute to inconsistent transaction patterns. This study seeks to identify the barriers to effective mobile commerce and assess their impact on purchase frequency, aiming to provide a pathway for enhancing consumer engagement and loyalty (Ibrahim, 2023; Okoro, 2024).
