Background of the study
Viral marketing campaigns, characterized by rapid and widespread sharing of content, have become an increasingly popular strategy for enhancing customer retention. The viral nature of these campaigns can generate significant word-of-mouth publicity and foster a sense of community among consumers (Ibrahim, 2023). However, the transient nature of viral content raises questions about its long-term effectiveness in retaining customers. While viral campaigns often yield impressive short-term metrics, their impact on sustained customer engagement and loyalty remains underexplored. Recent studies suggest that successful viral marketing not only attracts attention but also creates memorable brand experiences that encourage repeat purchases (Adeniyi, 2024). This study aims to measure the effectiveness of viral marketing campaigns on customer retention by examining key performance indicators such as customer lifetime value, retention rates, and engagement levels. By combining quantitative data analysis with qualitative consumer insights, the research seeks to identify the elements that contribute to the lasting success of viral campaigns and provide recommendations for optimizing such strategies.
Statement of the problem
Despite the popularity of viral marketing, its long-term impact on customer retention remains uncertain. While viral campaigns can generate rapid attention and short-term engagement, many brands struggle to convert this initial buzz into sustained customer loyalty. Limited research exists on the relationship between viral marketing and long-term customer retention, leaving a gap in strategic marketing practices. This study addresses the problem by investigating the effectiveness of viral marketing campaigns in retaining customers over time, thereby providing insights that can help brands enhance the longevity of their marketing efforts (Chukwu, 2023).
