Background of the Study:
Customer engagement strategies are pivotal in driving repeat purchase behavior, particularly in the fast-evolving e-commerce landscape. In Abuja, online retailers have increasingly adopted innovative engagement techniques—such as interactive content, personalized recommendations, and loyalty incentives—to create a seamless shopping experience that encourages customers to return. These strategies leverage digital tools and social media platforms to maintain continuous interaction and build a community around the brand (Chukwu, 2023). By engaging customers through regular updates, gamified experiences, and tailored promotions, retailers aim to transform occasional buyers into loyal repeat customers. This sustained interaction not only boosts sales but also enhances the overall customer lifetime value. As online competition intensifies, the effectiveness of customer engagement strategies in influencing repeat purchase behavior becomes a critical factor for long-term business success. The study examines how various engagement tactics contribute to repeat purchases, providing insights that can guide online retailers in optimizing their digital marketing efforts (Ibrahim, 2024).
Statement of the Problem
Despite significant investments in customer engagement initiatives, there remains a lack of empirical evidence linking these strategies directly to repeat purchase behavior among online shoppers in Abuja. Retailers often face difficulties in quantifying the return on investment from engagement tactics due to the absence of standardized measurement frameworks. This uncertainty makes it challenging to refine strategies and allocate resources effectively. The study seeks to address this gap by investigating the direct impact of customer engagement initiatives on repeat purchasing behavior (Adebola, 2023).
