Background of the Study:
Integrated relationship marketing combines multiple communication channels and personalized strategies to build long-term relationships with consumers. In Kaduna, fashion retailers are increasingly adopting integrated relationship marketing to differentiate themselves in a competitive marketplace. By merging traditional advertising with digital engagement, personalized outreach, and experiential initiatives, retailers can create a cohesive brand experience that resonates with customers on an emotional level (Suleiman, 2023). These integrated efforts help in establishing trust and enhancing customer satisfaction, ultimately leading to increased brand loyalty. As consumer expectations evolve, the need for seamless and personalized communication becomes critical. Fashion retailers are now leveraging social media, email marketing, and in-store experiences to deliver consistent brand messages. This study investigates how integrated relationship marketing strategies influence brand loyalty in a fashion retail context, focusing on the interplay between personalized communication and customer engagement. It explores the extent to which these integrated strategies foster long-term loyalty and differentiate the brand in a crowded market (Ibrahim, 2024). The findings are expected to provide actionable insights for retailers seeking to optimize their marketing efforts.
Statement of the Problem
Although integrated relationship marketing is widely implemented, its direct effect on brand loyalty in the fashion retail sector of Kaduna is not well understood. Retailers often struggle to measure the impact of combining various marketing channels on consumer loyalty. The absence of robust evaluation metrics complicates the ability to ascertain which integrated strategies are most effective in fostering long-term brand commitment. This uncertainty hinders the optimization of marketing budgets and strategic planning. Consequently, there is a need to systematically investigate the effect of integrated relationship marketing on brand loyalty, enabling fashion retailers to refine their strategies for better consumer retention (Chinwe, 2023).
