Background of the Study:
Integrated loyalty initiatives combine various loyalty program components—such as rewards, personalized offers, and digital engagement—to create a cohesive strategy for influencing consumer behavior. Beauty retailers in Kano are increasingly adopting these initiatives to build stronger relationships with customers and drive repeat purchases (Suleiman, 2023). By unifying offline and online loyalty efforts, beauty retailers can offer seamless experiences that not only reward repeat purchases but also foster a deeper emotional connection with the brand. Integrated initiatives enable companies to leverage customer data effectively, delivering tailored promotions and exclusive benefits that resonate with individual consumer preferences. This holistic approach is particularly important in the beauty industry, where consumer preferences can be highly personal and rapidly changing. This study appraises the effectiveness of integrated loyalty initiatives in shaping consumer behavior among customers of a beauty retailer in Kano, examining the impact on purchase frequency, customer satisfaction, and overall engagement (Ibrahim, 2024).
Statement of the Problem
Despite the growing use of integrated loyalty initiatives, there is limited empirical evidence on how these programs influence consumer behavior in the beauty retail sector in Kano. Retailers face challenges in quantifying the direct impact of integrated loyalty efforts, and the lack of standardized evaluation metrics makes it difficult to assess their effectiveness. This study aims to bridge this gap by investigating the relationship between integrated loyalty initiatives and consumer behavior, providing actionable insights for optimizing loyalty programs (Chinwe, 2023).
