Background of the study
Integrated marketing automation combines various digital tools and platforms to streamline marketing processes and deliver personalized customer experiences. For tech startups in Kano, Nigeria, leveraging marketing automation has become essential for retaining customers in a competitive environment. By automating tasks such as email campaigns, social media postings, and customer segmentation, startups can maintain consistent communication and foster ongoing engagement (Udeh, 2023). This integrated approach allows companies to deliver targeted content at the right time, resulting in improved customer satisfaction and loyalty. Marketing automation also provides real-time analytics, enabling businesses to measure campaign performance and adjust strategies promptly. However, challenges such as high implementation costs, data integration issues, and a steep learning curve often impede the full realization of these benefits. This study critically analyzes how integrated marketing automation influences customer retention for a tech startup in Kano, evaluating both the efficiency gains and the operational hurdles encountered.
