In the last 10 years, mobile phones have gone from being an exclusive almost unnecessary high-tech device to being an everyday item, used by billions of people around the world. The technology evolution has changed phones from a suitcase sized mobile phone imitating its stationary counterpart, to a small communication device that can perform more than twenty different tasks and is usually less than half the size of the a traditional fixed phone. With this massive adoption of mobile phones come business opportunities. One of these opportunities is to make use of its potential as a large scale marketing communication channel. Marketing via the mobile networks, presents a large target audience that can be compared to broadcast media such as television and radio, but despite this can still be a personal channel and hence compared to direct mail or one-to-one marketing. Many, both successful and failed, mobile marketing schemes have been tried, but without any definite answers and no clear action plan. Considering that much of the success of Procter &amp; Gamble can be attributed to the company’s skill in mass marketing, there is a need within the company to research the potential advantages and disadvantages of mobile marketing. This thesis explores whether or not mobile marketing is mature enough to permanently introduce it to the marketing mix of the company. / Under de senaste åren har mobiltelefonen gått från att vara en exklusiv nästintill onödig lyxtillbehör till att idag vara en alldaglig sak som används av miljarder människor runt om i världen. Från att ha varit stora som portföljer och mestadels försökt imitera de stationära telefonerna, har mobiltelefonen idag blivit ett mycket liten kommunikationsverktyg som kan genomföra mer än tjugo olika uppgifter och som oftast är hälften så stor som en vanlig telefon. Med denna väldiga tillväxt av mobiltelefoni kommer också affärsmöjligheter; en av dessa möjligheter är att marknadsföra storskaligt via detta nya medium. Det mobila nätet når en stor målgrupp som närmast skulle kunna jämföras med den som televisionen eller radio når. Den stora skillnaden är att med mobiltelefonen kan man göra denna kommunikation personlig som närmast skulle kunna jämföras med direkt reklam. Flera mobila reklamkampanjer har testats; både lyckade och mindre lyckade. Dessa kampanjer har dock oftast analyserats dåligt eller inte alls. Med tanke på att företaget Procter &amp; Gamble mestadels har lyckats med sin affärsidé är på grund utav sin skicklighet inom marknadsföring, finns det nu ett stort behov av att ta reda på fördelarna och nackdelarna med mobil marknadsföring. Detta examensarbete undersöker om mobil marknadsföring är mogen nog för att permanent ta en plats i företagets marknadsförings mix. / <p>This is not identical to the version that was defended.

Yes / Given the potential benefits such as time and location-based advertisements, the scope of interactivity and customisation through one-to-one target marketing, SMS-based (Short Messaging Service) advertisement, is now being considered as an important alternative marketing channel. This has raised a real challenge for marketers to harness the potential of this alternative channel by overcoming several limiting issues such as security, privacy, authenticity, and irritation of unknown senders. The main objective of this study is to identify and review relevant research issues faced by wireless marketing (particularly via SMS-based advertisement) as an aide to identify potential research gaps and for developing future guiding principles. The review and analysis of literature suggest that there is scope of undertaking further research on issues related to different cultures reflecting ubiquitous traits of mobile phone, SMS advertisement, market segmentation, location and time sensitive delivery, content and context of advertisement, language and appropriate delivery.

<p>Marketing has changed a lot the past decade. New modern marketing channels have been developed and marketing have become more effective. This has affected the expectations advertisers have on advertising channels. One thing advertisers increasingly expect is to be able to efficiently measure the result of advertising, the ROI. A method for measuring ROI of digital signage is in focus in this study. The measurement is enabled by a combination of digital signage and mobile advertising. First a consumer is exposed to digital signage encouraging SMS interaction in order to receive an electronic voucher entitling the consumer to a discount. If the voucher is used, revenues can be linked to a specific campaign and ROI can be calculated. The study focus on measuring the tendency consumers have to interact through SMS when they get exposed to relevant advertising and the tendency they have to use the voucher that is sent to them as a result of the interaction.  The question is how efficient this method is for measuring ROI. In order to bring clarity to the issue, I conducted a quantitative survey using an online self completion questionnaire as measurement tool. It was distributed through e-mail among students at the College of Management at National Taiwan University. Furthermore, I have chosen a deductive approach, my epistemological position is positivism and I therefore utilize the scientific model conducting my research. My ontological position is objectivism meaning that I believe reality is independent of social actors.</p><p>The empirical data collected showed that the method in focus have great potential in working efficient for measuring ROI of digital signage. The general tendency to interact through SMS was high, on average 82.3% of the respondents would interact through SMS when getting exposed to relevant advertising. In addition, 96.5% of those would also use the voucher sent to them, enabling ROI calculations.</p><p>It was presumed that the digital signage advertising was relevant to such an extent to the consumer getting exposed to it, that he/she already had a purchase intention of the product/service which the advertising regarded. This should be remembered when evaluating the results. Nevertheless, if advertisers succeed in reaching out with relevant advertising enough, the findings in this study indicates that the method is an efficient tool to use for ROI calculations of digital signage.</p><p> </p>
