Background of the study
Performance marketing, a data-driven approach to advertising, has revolutionized how digital retailers attract and retain customers. In Lagos, Nigeria, digital retailers are increasingly relying on performance marketing strategies to drive online sales and maximize return on investment. This marketing approach emphasizes measurable outcomes through channels such as affiliate marketing, pay-per-click advertising, and search engine optimization (SEO) (Adeyemi, 2023). By focusing on tangible metrics like conversion rates and click-through rates, digital retailers can optimize their campaigns in real time, ensuring that marketing budgets are spent effectively. However, despite the growing reliance on performance marketing, there remains a critical need to understand its comprehensive impact on online sales performance within the competitive Lagos market. This study investigates how various performance marketing strategies contribute to online sales growth, analyzing consumer response patterns, campaign cost efficiency, and overall market competitiveness. Recent studies suggest that a well-executed performance marketing strategy can significantly boost online sales and customer acquisition (Ibrahim, 2024). Nonetheless, challenges such as high competition and rapidly evolving digital trends may affect its overall efficiency. This study aims to provide an in-depth critical analysis of performance marketing strategies, identifying best practices and potential pitfalls that digital retailers face in their quest to drive online sales (Chinwe, 2025).
Statement of the problem
Digital retailers in Lagos encounter significant challenges in leveraging performance marketing to achieve sustainable online sales growth. Despite substantial investments in digital advertising, the direct correlation between performance marketing strategies and increased online sales remains ambiguous. Retailers face issues such as fluctuating conversion rates, high competition for online ad space, and the dynamic nature of digital consumer behavior. Furthermore, the complexity of tracking and attributing sales to specific marketing efforts creates uncertainty about campaign effectiveness (Olufemi, 2023). This uncertainty hampers decision-making regarding budget allocation and strategy optimization, leading to potential inefficiencies in marketing investments. Addressing these challenges is essential for ensuring that performance marketing efforts translate into tangible improvements in online sales and overall business performance (Ude, 2024).
