Background of the study
Mobile marketing automation plays a crucial role in enhancing app retention by enabling fintech applications to deliver personalized, timely, and relevant communications. This study examines how a fintech application in Kano leverages mobile marketing automation—such as push notifications, in-app messaging, and behavioral triggers—to keep users engaged and reduce churn (Okeke, 2023). In an environment where user retention is critical for app success, automation can streamline marketing processes, reduce operational costs, and provide insights into user behavior. Fintech apps in Kano face intense competition, making it essential to maintain continuous user engagement through targeted marketing strategies. The study reviews current automation tools, their integration with mobile analytics, and the resulting impact on retention metrics. Challenges such as notification fatigue, data privacy issues, and technical integration are discussed. Drawing on contemporary research and practical case studies, the study aims to identify best practices that drive long-term app retention and support sustained growth in the fintech sector (Adeniyi, 2024).
Statement of the problem
Many fintech applications in Kano struggle with low retention rates due to ineffective mobile marketing strategies and underutilized automation tools. Challenges include generic messaging, overwhelming notification frequency, and inadequate personalization, which lead to user disengagement. These issues impede the app’s ability to build a loyal customer base and achieve long-term profitability. This study aims to address these challenges by evaluating the impact of mobile marketing automation on app retention and identifying key areas for improvement (Okeke, 2023; Adeniyi, 2024).
