Programmatic buying has attracted growing interest from manufacturers and has become a driving force behind the growth of digital advertising. Among various formats, mobile advertisements (ads) have emerged as a preferred choice over traditional ones due to their advanced automation, adaptability, and cost-effectiveness. Despite their increasing adoption, academic research on mobile ads remains relatively limited. Unlike conventional statistical analysis techniques, the proposed feature selection methods eliminate the need for assumptions related to data properties such as independence, normal distribution, and constant variance in regression. Additionally, feature selection techniques have recently gained traction in big data analysis, addressing the limitations inherent in traditional statistical approaches. Consequently, this study aims to determine the key success factors of mobile ads in fostering customer loyalty, offering advertisers valuable insights for optimizing mobile ad design. This study begins by identifying potential factors influencing mobile advertising effectiveness. Then, it applies Support Vector Machine Recursive Feature Elimination (SVM-RFE), correlation-based selection, and consistency-based selection methods to determine the key drivers of customer retention. The findings reveal that “Price” and “Preference” are the most significant contributors to enhancing repurchase intention. Moreover, factors such as “Language”, “Perceived Usefulness”, “Interest”, “Mobile Device”, and “Informativeness” are also essential in maximizing the effectiveness of mobile advertising.

Programmatic advertising uses big data to spread personalized marketing materials to target audiences, which is a major driving force for the growth of digital advertising. Among them, in-application advertisements (in-app ads) are an important part of programmatic advertising. In in-app advertising, which is highly related to application revenue, ads are delivered to customers through mobile devices at any time and place based on personal needs. Due to the power of electronic Word-of-Mouth (e-WOM), text comments from social media are becoming a new mode of advertising, influencing consumers’ purchase behavior. Text reviews on social media are more powerful than traditional ads. However, relatively little research has studied this issue. Therefore, using text mining and latent semantic analysis techniques, we aimed to discover the advertising elements of text reviews in the social community. Based on the results, suggestions were made to advertising companies to improve the performance of text reviews when employing key opinion leaders (KOL) to write commercial comments that promote products or services.

Integrating green approaches and digital marketing strategies for Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), which reduce environmental risks to desired levels by eliminating emissions and pollution, is considered one of the most promising solutions for logistics companies. The study strives to bring a practical and applicable solution to the decision problem involving the selection of indicators for green approaches and digital marketing strategies for ICTs in the logistics sector. An integrated Fermatean Fuzzy Step-wise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis (FF–SWARA) and Fermatean Fuzzy Complex Proportional Assessment (FF–COPRAS) methodology is applied to evaluate green approaches and digital marketing strategies. Concerning the findings, the foremost criterion is “data management,” whereas the best strategy is “programmatic advertising.” To the best of the authors’ knowledge, there is no other study that both offers a strategy selection for the logistics industry and considers environmental protection, sustainability, digital transformation, energy costs, and social and economic factors. The study is a part of ongoing research on productivity, sustainability, the environment, digitization, recycling and estimating levels of waste reduction, as well as business practices, competitiveness and ensuring employee satisfaction and resource efficiency. Also, it investigates the similarities and dissimilarities in the green approach practices of business in logistics and determines the extent to which these practices could be reflected. It is expected to ensure a roadmap for green approach practices and to support sustainable and ecological awareness efforts for ICTs in the logistics sector. Logistics companies can select an integrated digital strategy based on green informatics that suits them using the decision model employed in this study, which can handle uncertainties effectively. In this regard, the study’s findings, which focus on reaching customers and the most precise target audience in digital applications for businesses, are critical for developing strategy, plan and process.

The evolution of digital advertising, which is aimed at a mass audience, to programmatic advertising, which is aimed at individual users depending on their profile, has raised concerns about the use of personal data and invasion of user privacy on the Internet. Concerned users install ad-blockers that prevent users from seeing ads and this has resulted in many companies using anti-ad-blockers. This study investigates the sociological variables that make users feel that advertising is annoying and then decide to use ad-blockers to avoid it. Our results provide useful information for companies to appropriately segment user profiles. To do this, data collected from Internet users (n = 19,973) about what makes online advertising annoying and why they decide to use ad-blockers are analyzed. First, the existing literature on the subject was reviewed and then the relevant sociological variables that influence users’ feelings about online advertising and the use of ad-blockers were investigated. This work contributes new information to the discussion about user privacy on the Internet. Some of the key findings suggest that Internet advertising can be very intrusive for many users and that all the variables investigated, except marital status and education, influence the users’ opinions. It was also found that all the variables in this study are important when a user decides to use an ad-blocker. A clear and inverse correlation between age and opinion about advertising as annoying could be seen, along with a clear difference of opinion due to gender. The results suggest that users without children use ad-blockers the least, while retirees and housewives use them the most. Full article
