Background of the Study:
Customer loyalty strategies are critical in shaping market share, particularly in highly competitive sectors such as telecommunications. In Lagos, telecommunications firms are adopting various loyalty initiatives—ranging from reward programs to exclusive service benefits—to retain customers and gain a competitive edge (Adeola, 2023). By fostering long-term relationships, these firms aim to reduce churn and increase customer retention, which directly contributes to a larger market share. Loyalty strategies such as personalized offers, premium support, and loyalty tiers are designed to create lasting customer relationships and promote repeat business. With advancements in digital communication and data analytics, firms can now better target loyal customers and refine their service offerings. This study examines how customer loyalty strategies impact the market share of a telecommunications firm in Lagos, investigating the link between customer retention efforts and competitive positioning in a rapidly evolving market (Ibrahim, 2024).
Statement of the Problem
Despite significant investments in customer loyalty strategies, many telecommunications firms in Lagos struggle to quantify their impact on market share. The absence of standardized metrics to evaluate the effectiveness of loyalty initiatives leads to uncertainty in resource allocation and strategy development. This study aims to address the gap by examining how loyalty strategies influence market share, providing empirical evidence to support more effective marketing practices (Chinwe, 2023).
