What is M – Commerce?
Mobile Commerce (M-Commerce) has emerged as a significant subset of electronic commerce, driven by the
widespread adoption of smartphones and mobile devices.
M-Commerce, short for Mobile Commerce, refers to the process of conducting commercial transactions using
mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.
It enables users to shop, pay for goods and services, and engage in other commercial activities through mobile
applications or mobile-optimized websites.
Characteristics

Mobile apps can use GPS technology to identify the user's location and offer relevant promotions, discounts, or
recommendations based on their proximity to physical stores or points of interest.
2.Mobile Wallets
Mobile wallets, also known as digital wallets or e-wallets, play a central role in M-Commerce. These applications allow
users to store payment information securely on their mobile devices, eliminating the need to carry physical cash or credit

peer transfers.
3.Mobile Advertising
M-Commerce relies heavily on mobile advertising to reach and engage consumers on their mobile devices. Mobile
advertising strategies include banner ads, interstitial ads, native ads, and in-app advertisements. Advertisers leverage data
analytics and targeting techniques to deliver personalized and relevant ads to mobile users, driving awareness,
engagement, and conversions.
