Prior to the advent of smartphone technology in 2007 mobile marketers were limited to SMS and MMS communications to engage consumers (Yaniv, 2008). Hence much of the research on mobile content marketing focuses on the content of SMS messages and web site design. For example, both Shavitt, Lowrey, &Haefner (1998) and Haghirian and Dickinger (2005) identified that providing games and prizes via text messaging (SMS) influenced participation and customer retention. Other researchers investi-gated the content of text messages. For example, Barwise and Strong (2002) found that effective SMS communications were short and to the point, funny and entertaining, relevant to the targetgroup, eye catching and informative about prizes and promotions. The theme of relevance has also been identified by others(Heinonen & Strandvik, 2003). Relevance is concerned with thevalue that the consumer receives from the marketing communication; this in turn may depend on location and timeliness of content
