본 연구는 우리나라 소비자의 개인주의화에 따라 일본에 대한 적대감에 변화가 발생할 수 있다는 관점에서 접근하는 연구이다. 구체적으로 본 연구에서는 개인주의 성향이 높은 소비자는 상대적으로 일본에 대한 적대감이 낮으며, 일본 브랜드 평가에 있어서도 적대감에 영향을 받는 정도가 낮을 수 있다는 주장을 제기한다. 이를 위해서 본 연구는 304명의 성인 소비자를 대상으로 4개의 일본 브랜드에 관해 설문조사를 수행했다. 검증 결과, 소비자의 개인주의 성향이 일본에 대한 적대감 인식에 영향을 미치는 동시에 소비자 적대감 효과를 조절한다는 연구 가설이 확인되었다. 동시에 소비자의 브랜드 친숙도도 적대감 효과를 조절하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 소비자의 사회심리적 요인과 특성에 따라 소비자 적대감과 그 영향력이 달라질 수 있다는 가능성을 제시하여 학술적으로 의미가 있는 것으로 평가된다. 동시에 우리나라 소비자가 개인주의화가 진행함에 따라 소비자 적대감과 같은 요인들에 영향을 받는 정도가 줄어들 수 있음을 시사해준다.

This paper examines advertising images of fashion brands in vertical social network site (SNS) from the viewpoints of message strategies. Vertical social network sites are types of social curation systems applied to social networking, where information is selected, organized, and maintained. Fashion brands communicate with consumers by presenting images on vertical SNSs, anticipating improvements in brand image, popularity, and loyalty. Those images portray content for particular brands and seasonal concepts, thus creating paths for product sales information. Marketing via SNSs corresponds to relationship marketing, which refers to long-term interrelationship and value augmentation between the company and consumer, and viral advertising, which relies on word of mouth distribution via social network platforms. Taylor’s six-segment message strategy wheel, often used for analyzing viral ads, was applied to conduct a content analysis of the images. A total of 2,656 images of fashion brands advertised on Instagram were selected and analyzed. Results indicated that brand values were somewhat related to the number of followers. Follower rankings and comment rankings were also correlated. In general, fashion brands projected sensory messages most often. Acute need and rational messages were less common than other messages. Sports brands and luxury brands presented sensory messages, whereas fast fashion brands projected routine images most often. Fashion brands promoted on vertical SNSs should portray advertising images that combine message strategies.

Fast fashion brand marketers should develop marketing strategies that effectively satisfy the values consumers seek when purchasing fast fashion brands. This study aimed to identify the consumption value factors of fast fashion brands and to reveal the value factors that influence attitudes toward purchasing fast fashion brands. Data were gathered by surveying university students in the Seoul metropolitan area using convenience sampling. Three hundred and five questionnaires were used in the statistical analysis, which consisted of exploratory factor analysis using SPSS and confirmatory factor analysis and path analysis using AMOS. The factor analysis revealed the following six value factors: Emotional value, social value, price/value for money, durability value, eco-value, and consistency value. The fit statistic for the six-factor model was quite acceptable. Two of the six value factors, emotional value and price/value for money, positively influenced attitudes toward purchasing fast fashion brands. The overall fits of the revealed model suggested that the model fit the data well. The results suggested that fast fashion marketers need to understand the value factors that motivate consumers to purchase fast fashion brands. In addition, marketers should focus their efforts on satisfying emotional value and price/value for money in order to establish their brands in the increasingly competitive fast fashion industry.

Successful use of displays in stores arouses consumers' curiosity, and induces them to purchase a product after a visit. Facade is a word meaning an external front wall of a building, and is usually the first point of visual contact for the consumers. The present study is an empirical investigation of external appearance of a clothing store, with a 2×2×2 factorial design of facade, show window, and wall surface material designed for the purpose of the study. Dependent variables were store image variables and attitude toward store. A total of 320 questionnaires from male and female consumers were used for the analysis. Facade type and material had significant main and interaction effects, while show window type had no meaningful effects overall. A facade of irregular design prompted significantly higher levels of perceived ‘elegance’, ‘uniqueness’, and ‘attractiveness’ of the store. Material itself did not have significant influence but did have significant interaction effect with facade design. The interaction effect was found in store attitude as well. In order to create a positive store attitude, a concrete material facade should have an irregular design. Companies owning fashion brands should carefully select facade type and wall surface material in the visual merchandising strategies of a store.

모조품 이미지의 산자이 브랜드들이 최근 시장에서 급속도로 수용되어 주류 글로벌 브랜드를 위협하게 된 이유 는 무엇일까? 본 연구는 소비자의 사회계층 이동성 인식과 그에 따른 실용적 소비 마인드의 활성화가 소비자로 하여금 산자이 브랜드의 낮은 상징적 가치보다는 우수한 실용적인 측면을 중시하게 하였고 이에 따라 산자이 브 랜드 선호가 증가하게 되었다고 제시한다. 이러한 사회계층 이동성 인식과 산자이 브랜드 선호 사이의 인과관계 를 검증하기 위하여 행동 실험을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 소비자들이 자신이 속한 사회의 계층 이동성이 제한되어 있다고 인식하는 경우에는(vs. 제한되어 있지 않다고 인식하는 경우), 기능적, 실용적 측면에서 우수하나 브랜드 의 상징적 가치가 낮은 산자이 제품의 선호가 증가하는 것을 발견하였다. 또한, 이 현상은 낮은 사회계층 이동성 인식이 소비자들의 실용적 소비 마인드를 활성화시키기 때문이라는 것을 매개효과 검증을 통하여 확인하였다. 이 러한 결과는 최근 글로벌 사회에서 널리 담론화되고 있는 사회계층 이동성의 둔화가 소비자의 제품 평가와 선호 도에 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 시사한다.

This study aimed to identify the effects of fashion brand extensions types, preannouncing and consumers' regulatory focus on preference towards extension products. To that end, the study used a 2 (fashion brand extension types: similar vs. non-similar) × 2 (preannouncing: near preannouncing vs. far preannouncing) × 2 (regulatory focus: promotion focus vs. prevention focus) three mixed elements. The subjects of the study were 280 men and women in their 20~40s living in Seoul and Chungnam province and total of 229 data were analyzed. Data were analysed with SPSS 19.0 program and three-way ANOVA, simple interaction effects and simple main effects analysis were conducted. The results of this study are as follows: First there were significant differences in preference based on fashion brand extension types and preannouncing. Second, there were significant interaction effects in preference between extension types of fashion brand and regulatory focus. But there was no difference in preference toward extension products according to types of preannouncing and regulatory focus. Lastly, fashion brand extension types, preannouncing and regulatory focus showed significant interaction effects on preference. Thus even in cases of non-similar brand extensions which carry more risk of failing, the appropriate marketing communication strategies such as preannouncing will result in brand preference. Also marketing activities should be comprehensive and strategical based on consumers’ tendencies in order to derive positive evaluations.

The results of this research are as follows. First, interaction/playfulness, information, reliability, and convenience of access were extracted as the characteristics of fashion brands SNS marketing. Second, all SNS factors had significant relation on perceived usefulness. But only interaction/playfulness and convenience of access showed significant relation on perceived ease of use. Third, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use affected continuous use intention. Forth, continuous use intention had significant relation on brand attitude and showed direct and indirect significant relation to purchase intention.

The purpose of this study is to apply the expectancy disconfirmation model to consumer post-purchase behavior toward fast fashion brands. This study incorporated repurchase intention as a result of consumer satisfaction. It was hypothesized that consumer satisfaction, which is influenced by expectation, perceived performance, and disconfirmation, influences repurchase intention. It was also hypothesized that expectation influences performance. This study examined the brands and prices of the most recent purchases of fast fashion and also examined whether the purchases were planned or unplanned. The hypothesized path was tested and the relative influences of instrumental and symbolic performance on satisfaction were identified. Data were collected from questionnaires answered by 344 university students who were selected by convenience sampling. The results were as follows: 1) Purchased brands were, in the order of frequency of purchase, Uniqlo, Zara, H&M, and Forever21, followed by domestic brands, 8seconds, Spao, and Mixxo. The frequency of unplanned purchase was more than twice higher than planned purchase. 2) Based on expectation and performance, dissatisfactory group was larger than satisfactory group, which were 35.8% and 24.7% respectively. 3) It was revealed from the expectancy disconfirmation model analysis that expectation and performance had positive influence, but cognitive dissonance had negative influence on satisfaction. Satisfaction had significant influence on repurchase intention. The path analysis showed that all hypothesized path coefficients were significant. The results suggest some effective marketing strategies for marketers in the fast fashion industry.

Brands play a critical role as a core asset and the primary driver for corporate growth because of their power of identity and influence on customers’ perceptions in restaurant industry.
