Background of the Study:
Data-driven personalization in digital marketing leverages customer data and analytics to create tailored experiences that enhance consumer loyalty. A retail chain in Lagos has adopted personalized marketing strategies across its digital channels—such as personalized emails, product recommendations, and targeted advertisements—to cater to individual preferences. By analyzing consumer behavior, purchase history, and demographic information, the retail chain can deliver highly relevant content that increases customer satisfaction and encourages repeat business. This approach not only improves the shopping experience but also builds long-term relationships with consumers. However, challenges such as data privacy concerns, segmentation accuracy, and over-personalization can undermine these efforts. This study examines the influence of data-driven personalization on consumer loyalty by evaluating key performance indicators including repeat purchase rates, customer lifetime value, and satisfaction metrics. The research provides insights into how refined personalization strategies can foster deeper customer loyalty and drive sustainable revenue growth in the competitive retail market (Oluwaseun, 2023; Adebola, 2024).
Statement of the Problem:
The retail chain in Lagos faces obstacles in achieving consistent consumer loyalty despite its data-driven personalization efforts. Issues such as inaccurate data segmentation, privacy concerns, and occasional content irrelevance have led to reduced customer retention and diminished trust. These challenges necessitate a closer examination of personalization practices and their impact on loyalty to develop more effective strategies.
Objectives of the Study:
To assess the impact of data-driven personalization on consumer loyalty.
To identify challenges in implementing effective personalization.
To propose strategies for enhancing personalization to improve loyalty.
Research Questions:
How does data-driven personalization affect consumer loyalty in retail?
What challenges limit the effectiveness of personalization strategies?
What measures can optimize personalization to foster long-term loyalty?
Significance of the Study:
This study is significant as it provides empirical insights into the role of data-driven personalization in enhancing consumer loyalty. The findings will assist retail chains in Lagos to refine their marketing strategies, improve customer satisfaction, and ultimately increase retention rates in a competitive market.
