Convenient Or Intrusive? the Role of “When” and “Where” in Consumer Reactions to Mobile Advertising.

Location Based Advertising (LBS) through mobile phones helps remove geographical and information barriers between consumers and availability of marketplace offerings by reaching shoppers at the right place and time. Though such contextual advertising seems convenient, it may also be perceived as intrusive. In this paper we find that the effectiveness of such “convenient” advertising depends on whether consumers are in public or private places at the time of receiving the advertisement. Where they are (location) and what they are doing (context) affects their perceptions of usefulness of the ad, store evaluations, and willingness to respond to the offer.
