Background of the study:
Digital consent mechanisms are crucial for ensuring ethical data usage and bolstering consumer trust in personalized marketing. In Kano, a tech startup has implemented advanced consent mechanisms, including granular opt-in options, detailed consent forms, and periodic updates on data usage. These measures are designed to give consumers greater control over their personal data while enabling the startup to deliver highly personalized marketing campaigns (Ibrahim, 2023; Adeyemi, 2024). The study examines how these digital consent practices affect personalized marketing outcomes by analyzing user engagement, conversion rates, and customer satisfaction. It also evaluates whether clear consent processes contribute to improved consumer trust and more effective targeting. The research aims to determine the optimal balance between obtaining user consent and leveraging data for personalization, ensuring that digital marketing efforts are both ethical and effective (Chinwe, 2025).
Statement of the problem:
Despite the implementation of comprehensive digital consent mechanisms, the tech startup in Kano faces challenges in achieving optimal personalized marketing outcomes. Consumers may be reluctant to provide consent if the process is perceived as cumbersome, potentially reducing the available data for targeted advertising. This hesitancy can negatively impact engagement and conversion rates, undermining the effectiveness of personalized campaigns. Additionally, overly strict consent processes may limit marketing flexibility. This study aims to investigate these issues and identify strategies to improve digital consent mechanisms while supporting effective personalized marketing (Okafor, 2024).
Objectives of the study:
To evaluate the impact of digital consent mechanisms on personalized marketing outcomes.
To analyze consumer perceptions of the consent process.
To recommend strategies for optimizing digital consent to enhance marketing effectiveness.
