Abstract—The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of Location-Based Mobile Marketing (LBMM) between push and pull on usage intentions. We carried out a pretest carefully to confirm the representative variable of Push-LBMM. The pretest based on a between-subjects design. Results indicated that the effects of opt-in and opt-out on usage intentions were significantly different, and opt-in led to higher usage intentions. Therefore, we chose opt-in Push-LBMM to represent Push-LBMM in the formal experiment. We find that Pull-LBMM is associated with higher usage intention as compared to Push-LBMM. We also find that technology acceptance plays a mediating role in the relationship between LBMM and usage intentions. Based on experimental results, theoretical and managerial implications are also discussed.

Index Terms—Location-based Mobile Marketing (LBMM), technology acceptance, usage intension
