MOBILE MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS to the YOUTH an Analysis of the Mxit Platform MOBILE MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS TO THE YOUTH An Analysis of the MXit Platform Charmaine du Plessis Department of Communication Science, University of South Africa, Pretoria, South Africa Keywords: Mobile Commerce, Mobile Marketing, Mobile Marketing Communications, Mobile Social Network, MXit. Abstract: This paper explores the various ways in which mobile marketing communications are available to the youth on a very popular South African mobile social network site known as MXit. The popularity of cellular phones has resulted in mobile-based brand advertising and promotions that specifically target the youth. The mobile medium is used by marketers as an additional channel to current marketing communications strategies. Because the mass market in South Africa does not use expensive cellular handsets, the format of mobile marketing communications is kept simple. MXit offers its subscribers effortless and accessible technology as well as appealing content, which is why it has become a prominent advertising platform. This is illustrated by examining two mobile marketing communication campaigns (one completed and one continuous) using MXit as an additional marketing communications channel to existing traditional marketing communications channels. 1 INTRODUCTION (Carroll, Barnes, Scornavacca & Fletcher 2007:81).

Marketers can opportunity to communicate information about their virtually reach cellular phone users anytime and products and services to their target market in what anywhere, even more so than the internet, because is known as “mobile marketing”. customers always carry their cellular phones with According to Pousttchi and Wiedemann (2006), them. Marketing communication messages sent via mobile marketing is a division of mobile commerce. a mobile medium represent mediated interactivity They define mobile commerce as “any kind of (communication between two individuals facilitated business transaction, on the condition that at least by a device).

Although the youth experiences, cellular phone users increasingly market is often referred to by marketers as demand affordable and reliable services that “adolescents”, “Generation Next”, “Generation Y” correspond exactly to their specific individual needs, or even the “internet or iGeneration”, researchers of lifestyles and preferences (Sigala 2006:395). the Golden Age youth survey – which was SMS is still the most popular mobile data completed in 2008 – now challenge the traditional application for marketing (Timpson & Troutman demographic definition of “youth”. They argue that 2009:59), but marketers are also exploring other the traditional definition of youth is no longer mobile marketing strategies to reach more relevant in today’s society and that the youth market consumers; in other words, not only those who is much larger than is believed. Marketers should have been granted permission to be opted in to therefore “target consumers based upon their receiving mobile advertising messages.

  • Shin, W. (2017). Active Mediation of Television, Internet, and Mobile Advertising
    Parental Mediation of Advertising 1 This is the pre-print version of: Shin, W. (2017). Active mediation of television, internet, and mobile advertising. Young Consumers, 18(4), 378-392. ACTIVE MEDIATION OF TELEVISION, INTERNET, AND MOBILE ADVERTISING Abstract Purpose: The purposes of this study are (1) to examine how parents implement discussion-based parental mediation (i.e., active mediation) to influence the way children understand advertising on television, computers, and smartphones, and (2) to investigate factors associated with parental mediation practices. Design/methodology/approach: A survey was conducted with parents in Singapore whose children were watching television, using computers with internet access, and using smartphones. Findings: The degree to which parents engage in active mediation of advertising is similar across different media. Active mediation of advertising is more a function of parents’ attitudes toward advertising directed to children, parents’ concerns about media influence on their children, and parental self-efficacy, rather than the age of their children. Research limitations/implications: The survey was conducted in a single country and did not examine the consequences of parental mediation of advertising. Future research should consider cross-cultural perspectives and investigate the outcomes of parental mediation. Practical implications: For advertising practitioners, this study argues that it is important to understand how parents view different forms of advertising. For media educators and policy makers, this study suggests that various parental factors should be considered to develop effective guidelines for parents. Parental Mediation of Advertising 2 Originality/value: This study adds novel insights to the literature on consumer socialization by investigating how parents – the primary socialization agents in children’s development of consumption-related behaviors – help children understand advertising across different media.
