This paper examines the relationship between digital advertising and consumer purchasing behaviour in Delta State, Nigeria. Backed by the theory of Technological determinism, data from 392 respondents were analyzed in a sample survey using structured questionnaires. Findings show respondents are aware of the nature of digital advertising, such as pop-up advertising; email advertising; social media; search engine optimization (SEO); pay-per-click (PPC) as available channels. Also important is the pattern of consumer buying behaviour, which is largely based on stringent factors. There is also a realization that digital advertising is informative. entertaining and relaxing, but incredibly unnerving. The implication is that digital advertising is ubiquitous in Delta State, but consumers do not trust digital advertising, though it is considered informative. The Social impact is that there is hype about digital advertising invading Delta State, but the process is far from gullible.

The public perception of insurance all over the world is central to the patronage and consumption of insurance services. Notwithstanding the huge population of over 190 million people in Nigeria, the insurance premium penetration rate of 0.7% of GDP is very low in comparison with other markets around the world. While customer perception of insurance is an expression of attitude, extant studies has shown that relationship marketing is a strategic tool that can be used to influence consumer behavior. Hence, this study examine the influence of relationship marketing on customer perception of insurance in Lagos State, Nigeria. The objective is to provide possible solutions to the problem of low patronage of insurance in Lagos State, Nigeria. A survey research design was adopted for the study.
