Background of the Study:
Personalized marketing leverages customer data to tailor communication, product recommendations, and promotional offers to individual preferences. In the e-commerce sector in Kaduna, personalized marketing strategies have become a critical tool for enhancing customer retention. By delivering customized experiences, online retailers can create a sense of relevance and connection that fosters repeat purchases (Adeniyi, 2023). E-commerce platforms are increasingly utilizing artificial intelligence and data analytics to segment their customer base and predict purchasing behavior. This targeted approach not only improves the shopping experience but also reduces customer churn by addressing specific needs and preferences. As competition intensifies in the digital marketplace, personalized marketing offers a strategic advantage by building deeper relationships with consumers. This study examines the impact of personalized marketing initiatives on customer retention within an e-commerce platform in Kaduna, focusing on the effectiveness of tailored offers and communications in enhancing loyalty and lifetime value (Ibrahim, 2024).

Despite the widespread adoption of personalized marketing, there remains limited empirical research on its effect on customer retention in the e-commerce sector of Kaduna. Retailers face challenges in isolating the impact of personalization from other marketing efforts, and many lack the tools to measure the long-term benefits of tailored strategies. This gap creates uncertainty regarding the ROI of personalization initiatives and hinders the optimization of customer retention strategies (Chinwe, 2023).
