BACKGROUND
The use of the mobile channel for commerce, marketing and social integration is a growing worldwide phenomenon. In Canada, there are more than 25 million wireless subscriptions, of which nearly half are smartphones, according to Canadian Marketing Association’s report, Marketing’s Influence in Canada: In an evolving digital economy. Mobile ad spending is expected to rise rapidly in the coming years, averaging annual increases of 27.9% between 2012 and 2016. Leading industry brands are committing anywhere from 10 to 25 percent of their near-term marketing budgets to interactive digital media--including mobile. However, with all this attention there is still much to learn about mobile marketing. There remains a gap in our understanding of what drives consumer adoption and acceptance of mobile marketing. In order to help guide and influence academic studies and commercial use of mobile marketing, contributed papers should provide insight into the practical application or theoretical basis of mobile marketing strategies and/or tactics.
- First published in 2006, the IJMM has a growing audience in Canada, with more than 2300 article downloads by Canadian institutions and researchers as of Q3 2012.
