Mobile advertising is increasingly becoming challenging in
the retailing environment because of its intrusive nature and the
limited screen size of the mobile device (Shankar and Hollinger
2007). To be effective, most mobile advertising should be
permission-based (Barwise and Strong 2002; Shankar and
Hollinger 2007). Retailers can use mobile advertising effectively
if they get consumers to opt-in, use short text messages,
make the messages relevant (the right message to the right
customers), and use it primarily as a reminder vehicle (Blum
and McClellan 2006).
