Background of the study
Mobile social commerce integrates social media functionalities with online shopping, creating interactive platforms where consumers can engage, share, and make purchases seamlessly. In Lagos—a vibrant hub for digital innovation—a leading lifestyle brand has embraced mobile social commerce to foster real-time consumer interaction. This study explores how integrating social sharing features, user reviews, and in-app purchasing options drives consumer interaction and enhances brand engagement. By leveraging mobile social commerce, the brand not only offers convenience but also builds community and trust among its audience, thereby encouraging organic word-of-mouth promotion (Adeyemi, 2023). Research indicates that such interactive platforms positively influence consumer attitudes and purchasing decisions, leading to higher conversion rates and improved customer loyalty (Okoro, 2024). However, challenges such as data security, platform usability, and content relevance remain prevalent. The study will assess these aspects through user engagement metrics and consumer feedback, providing insights into how social commerce can be optimized to drive deeper interaction and brand affinity. The findings are expected to guide lifestyle brands in Lagos on effective strategies for integrating social commerce into their digital marketing mix (Chinwe, 2025).
Statement of the problem
Lifestyle brands in Lagos encounter difficulties in maintaining active consumer interaction when mobile social commerce strategies are not fully optimized. Inadequate integration of social features with e-commerce functionalities often results in low engagement and minimal customer interaction. This fragmentation can lead to reduced conversion rates and lower overall brand loyalty. Despite investing in digital platforms, the lack of cohesive social commerce solutions hinders the brand’s ability to capitalize on its mobile audience. This study aims to uncover the obstacles that affect effective mobile social commerce and assess how they impact consumer interaction, ultimately affecting the brand’s market performance (Adeyemi, 2023; Okoro, 2024).

To assess the impact of mobile social commerce on consumer interaction.
