Background of the StudyMobile internet applications enable consumers to access a variety of services: Web information search, SMS (short message service), MMS (multimedia message service), banking, payment, gaming, e-mailing, chat, weather forecast, GPS (global positioning service), and so forth. Collectively, this wide array of services is denominated as "mcommerce." These digital media are considered to potentially improve the possibilities to reach consumers by allowing personalization of the content and context of the message. Combining customer's user profile and the context situation, advertising companies can provide the target customers exactly the advertisement information they desire, not just "spam" them with irrelevant advertisements. With a lot of advanced marketing research and analytics tool being used by many companies it becomes an interesting and valuable study to estimate what is the level of penetration and effectiveness of mobile advertisements.

Personalization and mobility significantly separate mobile phone (m-commerce) advertising fromInternet advertising, potentially giving m-commerce the upper hand. Using advertising based on personalization and geography, firms can identify a users location precisely and deliver relevantmessages to users. The growth of m-commerce will likely contribute to the advancement of mobileadvertising techniques and the diversification of services. The traditional pattern of marketing would be transformed into an interactive one, which implies a move to one-to-one marketing from one-to-more marketing. This makes our study more relevant and interesting.

Some of the journals explored this possibility. One of them was Analysis of the determinants of consumers m-commerce usage activity by Felix T.S. Chan and Alain Yee-Loong Chong. Its purpose was to examine the factors examining the determinants of users mobile commerce usage activities. Data was collected from 402 users and structural equation modelling analysis was employed to test the research model. This research shows that motivational variables have only partial relationships with m-commerce usage activities. Young users, for example, are more likely to use m-commerce for content delivery and entertainment purposes. Young users are more likely to use their mobile devices and engage in activities such as downloading music, watching videos, and sending messages. However age does not have signicant relationships with transaction and location-based activities. Therefore activities such as transaction and location-based services are less commonly used than content delivery and entertainment.

Educational level was found to have a signicant positive relationship with transaction and location-based services. First those who have achieved higher educational levels might have more spending power, and might be more willing to purchase using their mobile devices. Contrary to the ndings of past studies, gender has no inuence on the types of m-commerce activities users engage in. Two intrinsic variables were chosen for this study: (1) Perceived enjoyment; and (2) Perceived ease of use.

Perceived enjoyment has a signicant relationship with all four m-commerce usage activities. The ndings reveal that besides downloading games and listening to music, which are fun and enjoyable activities, users need to perceive that it is enjoyable to engage in transactions such as transferring money, purchasing, and location-based activities, such as receiving mobile advertisements. One reason why users will use m-commerce to conduct mobile banking, for example, is related to the perceived usefulness of the activity. Results revealed that users are only concerned about the security risks involved in transaction and location-based services. Therefore, users are likely to download music or play mobile games without worrying about possible security threats.

This study investigated the relationships between demographic proles, users motivations and security perceptions, with m-commerce usage activities. The ndings have several implications. First, unlike existing studies of technology adoption, this study did not focus on whether or not a user will adopt m-commerce. Instead, it explored the relationships between adoption factors and m-commerce activities. Second, results included direct relationships between demographic variables and m-commerce activities, rather than using one as a control variable.

Third, the study reveals that security concerns only affected transaction and location-based activities. M-commerce providers should improve the security and privacy features of their systems. Fourth, ndings revealed that social inuence can affect content delivery and entertainment activities. Therefore application providers can formulate strategies to promote content delivery and entertainment activities through word of mouth, social network channels, and informal seminars (Wei et al., 2009). Fifth, results reveal that motivation, in particular intrinsic motivation, plays a crucial role in users engagement with m-commerce activities. Sixth, this research has also extended TAM, and applied the enhanced model to study the adoption of m-commerce usage activities. Finally, based on the results, perceived ease of use and perceived enjoyment are two of the most important adoption factors, as they were found to be signicant for all m-commerce usage activities.

Another study is Young consumers motives for using SMS and perceptions towards SMS advertising by Ian Phau and Min Teah. The purpose of it was to examine young consumers motives for using SMS, their SMS usage frequency and their attitudes towards SMS advertising. The approach was through convenience sampling via self-administered questionnaire. A total of 211 samples were collected and retained for analysis.

SMS advertising presents important future implications for marketers and is projected to be a booming advertising medium (Carroll et al., 2007; Muk, 2007). In summary, this paper has identied seven factors that inuence SMS usage. However, only convenience positively inuences SMS usage frequency, whereas economic reasons negatively inuence SMS usage frequency, and only social involvement inuences consumers attitudes towards SMS advertising. There is no signicant relationship between SMS usage frequency and the consumers attitudes towards SMS advertising. Lastly, attitudes towards SMS advertising is not a moderator of motives using SMS and SMS usage frequency. Based on the ndings, convenience is paramount in inuencing SMS usage frequency of the Australian young consumers.

Interestingly, economical reasons negatively inuence SMS usage frequency for high SMS users. Mobile phone service providers could lower costs to consumers and in turn will be able to attract more advertising revenue through SMS advertisements. A cost benet analysis should be performed to arrive with the best option of pricing strategies. Social involvement is found as the factor that inuences consumers attitudes towards advertising. This nding suggests that motivations to participate in contests, voting on reality shows and to donate to charities are well accepted as mainstream lifestyle activities and consumers have a positive acceptance towards such promotions.

It is found that SMS usage frequency does not inuence attitudes towards SMS advertising. This could be well due to the fact that consumers utilize SMS for the sake of communication, and probably do not consider it as an advertising channel as yet. It can be argued that because the market in Australia is relatively new, marketers would need to be careful in understanding what young consumers would benet from SMS ads.

Thus these journals provided some insights into the effectiveness of mobile advertisements and the various factors that impact user behaviour and how the mobile advertisements can play a bigger role in user purchase intentions.

3C MODEL FOR E-COMMERCE BUSINESS

The 3C's Model is a business model, which offers a strategic look at the factors needed for success. The 3Cs model points out that a strategist should focus on three key factors for success. In the construction of a business strategy, three main players must be taken into account: The Customer The Competitors The CorporationOnly by integrating these three, a sustained competitive advantage can exist.

COMPETITION

In E-commerce business it is necessary to have an accurate and current competitive analysis of rival merchants strengths and weaknesses relative to a corporations own operations, providing a significant advantage or identifying opportunities.For small and mid-sized online retailers, a basic competitive analysis should include a regular, qualitative review of the competitors websites, prices, product mix, customer service, policies, and marketing. This data can be used both offensively and defensively to improve our bottom line.In E-commerce business , the competitor is any company that can affect your profit. Some competitors may be weak while others may pose an imminent threat to sales and revenue. To create a competitive analysis, focus should be on those competitors that are either an immediate threat or that could become a threat within a year. To help identify these competitors we should ask two basic questions about our business and our market.1. What is our industry segment?2. Who are our customers?With this information in hand, we can make a list of potential competitors, by noting the following. Any competitor we already know. Retailers that appear at the top of organic search result pages for important queries. Retailers that purchase pay-per-click advertising for industry-specific keywords. Retailers that advertise in industry-related publications. Retailers that appear in dealer locators (from suppliers or manufacturers). Retailers that tweet about the industry on Twitter. Retailers that post about the topic on Facebook.

Once all the competing e-commerce websites have been identified, the corporate strategy needs to be designed to gain a competitive advantage over them. Such as greater advertising, through mobile advertising.

CUSTOMER

Clients are the base of any strategy. Therefore, the primary goal is supposed to be the interest of the customer. In the long run, a company that is genuinely interested in its customers will be interesting for its investors and take care of their interests automatically. Segmentation is one way to help us understand the customer. Segmenting by objectiveThe differentiation is done in terms of the different ways that various customers use a product. Segmenting by customer coverageThis segmentation normally emerges from a trade-off study of marketing costs versus market coverage. There appears always to be a point of diminishing returns in the cost versus coverage relationship. The corporations task is to optimize its range of market coverage, geographically and/ or channel wise. Re-segmenting the marketIn fierce competition, competitors are likely to be dissecting the market in similar ways. Over an extended period of time, the effectiveness of a given initial strategic segmentation will tend to decline. In such situations it is useful to pick a small group of customers and reexamine what it is that they are really looking for.A market segment change occurs where the market forces are altering the distribution of the user-mix over time by influencing demography, distribution channels, customer size, etc. This kind of change means that the allocation of corporate resources must be shifted and/ or the absolute level of resources committed in the business must be changed.

Customers may choose a E-commerce website for any number of reasons, including how much they trust the retailer or like the retailers business philosophy. Some of the factors that consider a customer's decision are: Contact Information & Customer Service:How easy does your ecommerce competition make it for their customers to contact them? Do they clearly display a phone number; make it easy to email them? Have live chat? When you call, email, or chat, note how quick they are to respond; gauge the quality of the help you receive. Purchase :what are various pain points that would cause customers to abandon their shopping cart. If you see that your ecommerce competition has a poorly designed conversion funnel making it harder for their customers to make a purchase, then you can work to ensure it is smooth and quick at your site. Website aesthetics: how good a site looks impacts how much it is trusted. Website content. Includes blogs, articles, videos, and product descriptions. Product selection. Does the site have one type of widget or several to choose from. Price. Pricing relative to the market. Customer service. A site with a phone number might be better than one that only allows email contact. Shipping options. Is free shipping available? Social media presence. It is almost mandatory to have a presence on top social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. These sites help drive traffic and increase reputation. Email marketing. How is email used? Search engine position. In organic search results what is the position of the site. Advertising. Mobile advertisements, Pay-per-click, banners, video, other.

Due to ubiquitous nature of mobile phones, E-commerce websites are finding mobile advertisements, an effective medium to target the customers.
