Background of the Study:
Integrated relationship marketing merges various customer engagement strategies to build stronger, long-term bonds, ultimately influencing customer lifetime value (CLV). In Kano, tech startups are increasingly leveraging integrated relationship marketing approaches to enhance customer interactions through personalized communications, social media engagement, and tailored service experiences (Ibrahim, 2024). By creating cohesive marketing strategies that align with individual customer needs, these startups aim to boost satisfaction and drive repeat business. The integration of online and offline relationship-building efforts enables startups to track customer behavior, optimize marketing campaigns, and improve the overall customer experience. This holistic approach not only increases immediate sales but also extends the duration and profitability of customer relationships. The competitive nature of the tech startup environment in Kano necessitates the adoption of innovative relationship marketing strategies that directly impact CLV. This study evaluates the effect of integrated relationship marketing on customer lifetime value by analyzing customer engagement data, repeat purchase patterns, and overall revenue contributions. The research seeks to provide actionable insights into how integrated marketing efforts can be optimized to maximize CLV and drive sustainable growth (Chinwe, 2023).
Statement of the Problem
Although integrated relationship marketing is increasingly recognized as vital for enhancing customer lifetime value, tech startups in Kano often struggle to quantify its impact. The absence of standardized metrics to measure the long-term effects of relationship marketing complicates efforts to optimize these strategies. Without clear data on how integrated marketing influences CLV, startups may face challenges in justifying further investments and refining their customer engagement approaches. This gap in understanding hampers the ability to develop targeted marketing strategies that maximize profitability and customer retention. The study addresses the need for a systematic evaluation of the effect of integrated relationship marketing on customer lifetime value, providing empirical evidence to guide strategic decisions (Ibrahim, 2024).
Objectives of the Study
To evaluate the impact of integrated relationship marketing on customer lifetime value.
To identify key integrated marketing strategies that drive long-term customer profitability.
To recommend improvements for optimizing relationship marketing efforts in tech startups.

Significance of the Study
This study provides essential insights into the role of integrated relationship marketing in enhancing customer lifetime value. The findings will enable tech startups in Kano to optimize their marketing strategies, improve customer retention, and boost overall profitability. By establishing clear correlations between integrated marketing efforts and CLV, the research supports data-driven decision-making and strategic resource allocation, fostering sustainable growth in the competitive tech sector (Ibrahim, 2024).
