The study explored the effectiveness of Short Message Service (SMS) advertising on customers’ purchase decision focusing awareness, knowledge, liking, preference, conviction, and purchase attributes of Hierarchy of Effects Model. A total of 180 mobile phone subscribers were surveyed adopting non-probability convenience and judgmental sampling techniques through a structured questionnaire. It is found that none of the attributes have positive impact on the subscribers’ behavior. Purchase is found to be the most ineffective attribute followed by Conviction and Liking. Awareness, Knowledge, and Preference are least ineffective ones. However, SMS ad which explicitly mentions the company name and offers in the title, somewhat gets subscribers’ attention. It is noted that the SMS ads do not provide enough information, accessibility, and convenience. Brand loyalty and brand image of the products advertised have weak positive impact on consumer preference. The respondents view SMS ads mostly unconvincing and ineffective; but call rate packages, internet purchases and product discount purchases fared not so poorly. However, there are situations where SMS can be utilized effectively. As SMS advertising do not really incur much additional cost for the telecom companies, it can provide an avenue for information dissemination, as well as, to generate revenue from offers they promote.

Consumers often abandon e-commerce carts, so companies are shifting their online advertising budgets to immediate e-commerce cart retargeting (ECR). They presume that early reminder ads, relative to late ones, generate more click-throughs and web revisits. The authors develop a conceptual framework of the double-edged effects of ECR ads and empirically support it with a multistudy, multisetting design. Study 1 involves two field experiments on over 40,500 customers who are randomized to either receive an ECR ad via email and app channels (treatment) or not receive it (control) across different hourly blocks after cart abandonment. The authors find that customers who received an early ECR ad within 30 minutes to one hour after cart abandonment are less likely to make a purchase compared with the control. These findings reveal a causal negative incremental impact of immediate retargeting. In other words, delivering ECR ads too early can engender worse purchase rates than without delivering them, thus wasting online advertising budgets. By contrast, a late ECR ad received one to three days after cart abandonment has a positive incremental impact on customer purchases. In Study 2, another field experiment on 23,900 customers not only replicates the double-edged impact of ECR ads delivered by mobile short message service but also explores cart characteristics that amplify both the negative impact of early ECR ads and positive impact of late ECR ads. These findings offer novel insights into customer responses to online retargeted ads for researchers and managers alike.

Disaster risk warnings have been issued by the National Centre for Monitoring and Early Warning of Natural Disasters (Cemaden) to municipalities susceptible to floods and landslides in Brazil since December 2011. A survey of the end-users was developed in order to obtain an evaluation related to quality, anticipation and precision of the warnings. Using an explorative approach, a semi-structured questionnaire was available online to be filled in by the individuals responsible for receiving the warnings. The analysis of the results was supported by statistical techniques, to allow association among the variables. The majority of the users did not report difficulties in understanding the warning texts. However, they reported the inefficiency in receiving warnings by email and suggested that faster tools would be a better solution, i.e. a short message service. The improvements in the alerts could be informed by the results achieved in this survey.

From the analysis using chi square, it was found the difference of the obedience of iron tablets consumption after SMS reminder (p=0.00) had been delivered with significant level <0.05. Based on the result of this research, SMS reminder had an effective impact toward the obedience of iron tablets consumption among the expectant mothers. The result will be a good consideration for Puskesmas to cooperate with provider or proposed some funds to Dinas Kesehatan to activate SMS reminder.Key words:Expectant mothers, obedience, SMS reminder, iron tablets
