The rapid growth of smartphone industry motivates companies to emphasize more on the elements of customers’ experiential value in the process of promoting their products and services.

The survey research was conducted among the tertiary students in which most of them are heavy users of mobile apps via the smartphones. A total of 550 sets of questionnaire were distributed in the survey and judgemental sampling technique was adopted in this research. The research confirmed that both customer return on investment (CROI) and playfulness have positive relationship with the usage attitude.Keywords
