Amaç, mobil pazarlama uygulamalarının pazarlama performansı üzerindeki etkilerini ortaya koymaktır. Yoğunlukla iç turizm faaliyetleri gösteren A sınıfı bir seyahat acentesi örneği irdelenerek, Türkiye’de mobil pazarlama uygulamaları ve sonuçlarını tartış- maya açmaya yönelik bir vaka analizi sunulmaktadır. Analiz birimi olarak seyahat acentesi seçilmiştir. Dünya Mobil Pazarlama Birliği verilerine göre turizm sektöründe bir ilk olarak gerçekleştirilen uygulamayı hayata geçiren seyahat acentesi, örneklem olarak belirlenmiştir. Mobil pazarlama süreci ve pazarlama performansına etkilerini anlamaya yönelik araştırma sorularının yanıtlarını almak için, firmanın İcra ve Yönetim Kurulu Başkanı ve Dijital Pazarlama Müdürü (toplam iki kişi) ile yapılandırılmış yüz yüze görüşme gerçekleştirilmiştir.
