description

Despite dramatic differences between non-store shoppers were discovered, very limited research has been conducted to examine them. This paper analyses the background of M-commerce and key drivers of future Mcommerce decision among Spanish mobile users. Our objective is two-fold: (1) to determine the influence of relations with the Mobile (frequency of Mobile use, length of Mobile use and Mobile affinity), demographics, non-store shopping previous experience (mail, catalogue, Television and Internet) and attitude to M-commerce and its influence on the M-commerce decision and (2) to identify key drivers of future M-commerce intention. We examined data from 606 personal interviews given to Spanish mobile users (270 Mobile shoppers and 336 non Mobile-shoppers) over 14 years old. Data analysis shows that age, attitude towards M-commerce, Internet shopping previous experience and relations with the Mobile (frequency, length of Mobile use and Mobile affinity) are the main predictors of M-commerce decision while age, length of Mobile use, Mobile affinity, consumer attitude towards M-commerce and previous M-commerce experience are the most relevant factors influencing future M-commerce intention. Based on these empirical results this research enables companies to know the key drivers influencing M-commerce adoption and, therefore, what aspects to highlight in their marketing strategies.
