Background of the study
Video marketing campaigns have become a critical tool in the digital era, significantly impacting consumer retention for streaming services. In Port Harcourt, Nigeria, streaming platforms are leveraging dynamic video content to build strong emotional connections with viewers and sustain long-term engagement. By employing creative storytelling, high-quality visuals, and targeted messaging, video campaigns aim to keep consumers engaged and reduce churn rates (Okoro, 2023). The rapid growth in internet penetration and mobile device usage has amplified the impact of video marketing, enabling streaming services to reach broader audiences and foster loyalty. Furthermore, these campaigns provide valuable analytics on viewer behavior, allowing marketers to refine their content strategies in real time (Adebayo, 2024). Despite these opportunities, challenges such as production costs, content saturation, and rapidly evolving consumer preferences persist. This study examines how video marketing influences consumer retention, investigating the interplay between creative content, viewer engagement, and retention metrics. It seeks to provide insights into optimizing video strategies that align with the dynamic digital consumption patterns and cultural nuances of Port Harcourt’s diverse audience (Chinwe, 2025). The findings are expected to contribute to both academic discourse and industry practices by identifying key factors that drive retention through effective video content.
Statement of the problem
Streaming services in Port Harcourt face difficulty in maintaining consumer retention despite heavy investments in video marketing. While video campaigns have the potential to boost engagement, inconsistent messaging, high production costs, and content oversaturation diminish their effectiveness (Okoro, 2023). Moreover, rapid shifts in viewer preferences and technological challenges hinder the ability to consistently deliver compelling content. This study aims to identify the gap between current video marketing practices and consumer retention outcomes. It investigates whether the creative elements and targeting strategies employed are sufficient to sustain viewer loyalty, or if additional optimization is needed to address retention challenges (Adebayo, 2024).
