Earlier studies have focussed on the extent to which consumersfeel in control of the marketing exchange, suggesting strate-gies which empower the consumer may mitigate their negativity to wards mobile marketing communication. This study shows thatthe key factors that have a positive influence on acceptance are:giving permission, trust and control. Most consumers worry aboutmisuse of mobile data (mean 4.34) and they are more willing toreceive marketing texts from companies they like and trust (mean3.61). Being able to control frequency and stop texts easily is alsoa key factor in determining acceptance (means 3.82 and 4.05). Inaddition, only 15.7% either strongly agree or tend to agree that theyprefer companies to contact them on their mobile phone ratherthan by email or post. Peer influence has little effect on how accept-ing consumers are (mean 2.90).
