Background of the study
Mobile marketing innovations have become increasingly vital in acquiring new consumers in the fast-paced digital marketplace. In Lagos, Nigeria, retail mobile apps are leveraging cutting-edge marketing techniques—such as location-based promotions, personalized push notifications, and in-app advertisements—to attract new users and drive consumer acquisition (Olatunji, 2023). These innovations utilize real-time data and advanced analytics to deliver targeted marketing messages that resonate with potential customers. By capitalizing on mobile technology, brands can create a seamless and interactive experience that encourages app downloads and purchases. The integration of innovative mobile marketing strategies has shown promising results in enhancing user engagement and fostering brand loyalty. However, challenges such as technological constraints, data privacy issues, and the constant evolution of mobile trends may limit the effectiveness of these strategies (Afolabi, 2024). This study investigates the impact of mobile marketing innovations on consumer acquisition, examining how these strategies can be optimized to improve acquisition rates and drive long-term business growth in the competitive retail sector of Lagos (Eze, 2025).
