Offering new marketing channels to interact with customers is crucial to increase sales for company. Thus, the successful application of information technology to connect marketing applications is highly prominent. One of the advances in information technology is wireless mobile communication technology that makes the anytime-to-anyplace communication possible. This technology system allows increased mobility and extended services even to remote areas. Due to wireless communication system, mobile phone users are able to access their s, search, order and buy products and services from everywhere without computers. 1 Besides the Internet and personal computers, the mobile phone is the key to marketers because it is extremely popular and offers people the opportunity of mobility now. Through the introduction of data services, Short Message Services (SMS), Multimedia Message Service (MMS), Mobile Internet, 3G services etc., the mobile phone is rapidly becoming a viable commercial marketing channel. Even though companies are investing heavily in mobile commerce and mobile marketing, the nature and implications of this channel have yet to be fully understood and studies need to be performed to gain an insight into how to utilize it best. 2 Nowadays, mobile marketing adoption and acceptance is on the rise, but marketers would have little ability to consistently generate profits without a clear understanding of the elements driving consumer acceptance. Mobile advertising is a fresh way of marketing, and it is turning step by step from basic SMS messaging to more interactive and intelligent communication channel, such as MMS and Java based applications.
