Participant Comments on Themes Identified During Focus Group Sessions.

Theme Participant comments
Time of day “I think it’s a good time to send out the
    messages. Like around lunch time where
    people might be in downtime.”
Message
  signature
“It’s kind of like you do something trending …
    you know every time you make a message
    here’s my signature FIT HARRT Plus. I just
    like the consistency of the signature.”
Message with a
  specific focus
“ …on a Monday I would like to see a
    challenge for the Monday …and I think
    the Wednesday one was inspirational, and
    then do a health tip again. I feel like it’s
    established in a pattern and then you know
    what you will receive …if you follow that
    same pattern every week.”
Message length “I really like the length. I don’t look at the
    scroll.”
Message tone “Now that I did read it and I see the little smiley
    face, I like chuckled to myself. I’m just like
    the FIT HARRT Plus people have jokes …
    and I think that …if it’s not too much to do,
    I think the meme would be funny too …”
