This study investigates the effects of the type of advertisement, brand extension, and consumer innovativeness on the credibility of fashion advertisements. The factorial design is constructed as a 2(type of fashion advertisement: general vs. cross-media) × 2(consumer innovativeness: high vs. low) × 2(the type of fashion brand extension: similar vs. dissimilar) three-way mixed design in which consumer innovativeness is the between-subjects variable. Subjects of this study included 210 men and women in their 20s and 30s who resid in Seoul and had SNS experiences. Frequency analysis, credibility analysis, three-way ANOVA, and simple interaction analysis were conducted using the SPSS 20.0 statistics package. The results are as follows: First, the type of fashion advertisement had a significant effect on advertising credibility. Cross-media advertisements had a more positive effect than general advertisements on all of the dependent variables. Also, the type of brand extension and consumer innovativeness showed significant effect on advertising credibility and the interaction effect between the type of fashion advertisement and consumer innovativeness was significant. Lastly, the effect of different types of brand extensions on advertising credibility showed a significant difference according to consumer innovativeness. Thus, a marketing strategy using cross-media advertising is proven to be effective in gaining consumer trust for a fashion brand.

The purpose of this study was to determine the gender differences in the relationships between knowledge of, attachment with, and attitude toward a parent brand and perceived risk of, attitude toward, and purchase intension of an extended product in the case of brand extension. A total of 300 survey questionnaires were distributed to 150 male and 150 female college students, and 275 responses were used for the final analysis. The results showed that for male college students, knowledge of the parent brand had a positive relationship with brand attachment with the parent brand, which in turn had a positive relationship with brand attitude toward the parent brand. Knowledge of the parent brand had a negative relationship with perceived risk of the extended product, which again had a negative relationship with attitude toward the extended product. In addition, for male college students, knowledge of the parent brand had a positive relationship with attitude toward the extended product, which also had a positive relationship with purchase intension of the extended product. For female college students, brand attachment with the parent brand had a positive relationship with brand attitude toward the parent brand, which also had a positive relationship with attitude toward the extended product. Brand attachment with the parent brand showed a negative relationship with perceived risk of the extended product, which also had a negative relationship with attitude toward the extended product.

최근 국내 의류 시장에서 SPA 브랜드의 급격한 성장을 기반으로 관련 업체들이 기존 의류 이외에 다른 종류의 다양한 제품(SPA 브랜드 확장)을 출시하는 추세이다. 이와 같은 추세 이면의 심리적 기제를 알아보기 위해서 본 연구는 SPA 브랜드 확장에 대한 소비자 정보 처리 과정을 개념적으로 (1) SPA 브랜드 확장과 원 SPA 브랜드 간의 유사성 지각과 (2) 평가(태도와 구입의향)로 구분하였다. 이후 가상의 3종류 SPA 브랜드 확장(저, 중, 고 유사성 조건)에 대한 소비자의 유사성 지각 과정과 평가를 각각 아이트래커와 자기 보고식 설문지를 이용해 측정하였다. 통계 분석 결과, SPA 브랜드 확장의 유사성 지각 과정에서 외적 정보 탐색량과 정보 처리 수준은 ‘중>저>고 유사성 조건’ 순으로 차이를 보였다. 또한 SPA 브랜드 확장에 대한 태도와 구입의향은 ‘고=중>저 유사성 조건’ 순으로 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과는 SPA 브랜드 확장에 대한 평가가 유사성 지각 정도와 유사성 지각 과정에서 투입된 인지적 노력량에 영향을 받는다는 점을 제안한다.

Recently, some fashion retailers have initiated sustainable actions in the form of corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities to address consumers’ social concerns. This study intends to combine the concept of CSR motivation attributions with brand extension literature in order to examine how consumers’ trust of a parent brand affects their CSR motivation attributions and ultimately their attitudes towards parent-brand CSR activities and sustainable extension lines. A self-administered online survey was conducted using scenarios describing a fast fashion retailer introducing a sustainable line. Data from 303 female U.S. consumers, aged between 18 and 34 years, were used for the statistical analysis. Data analyses were conducted using SPSS 21.0 for descriptive analysis, exploratory factor analysis, and regression analysis. The results revealed that all hypotheses were supported. The findings show that consumers’ trust of a parent brand has an indirect impact on positive attitudes towards the parent brand’s CSR activities as well as the sustainable extension product line, mediating positive evaluations of the brand’s social CSR motivations. In addition, this study suggests consumers’ prior trust of the parent brand is a variable that affects consumers’ evaluation of CSR motivation sincerity. Marketing suggestions and thoughts based on the findings of this study were provided.

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 purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of congruency of parent brand image with self-image, perceived risk, and product knowledge on the attitude towards extended product in fashion brand extension. A survey questionnaire was used to collect data from 170 female college students and collected data were subjected to descriptive analysis and regression analysis using SPSS Window program. The results of this study showed that the congruency of parent brand image with self-image and perceived risk had a positive effect on attitude towards extended product, whereas product knowledge had a negative effect on attitude towards extended product in fashion brand extension. Also, the congruency of parent brand image with self-image had a positive effect on the attitude towards extended product in fashion brand extension with positive moderating effect of perceived risk and negative mediating effect of product knowledge.

본 연구는 중국 소비자를 대상으로 명품 브랜드 확장 시 영향의 요인을 살펴보기 위해 모브랜드의 특성 및 확장제품 간의 관계를 통합적으로 고찰하였다. 첫째, 모브랜드의 특성으로는 브랜드의 명품성 정도에 따라 명품 브랜드와 비명품 브랜드를 선정하여 브랜드 명품성이 브랜드 확장에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 실증 연구 결과 소비자들은 명품 브랜드의 확장제품에 대해 비명품 브랜드의 확장제품보다 브랜드 확장에 대해 긍정적으로 평가하였다. 둘째, 확장제품의 일치성이 브랜드 확장에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 실증연구 결과 소비자들은 일치, 극도로 불일치한 확장제품보다 적당히 불일치한 확장제품을 더 긍정적으로 평가하였다. 또한 명품 브랜드, 비명품 브랜드에 적용하여 본 결과에서도 적당히 불일치한 브랜드 확장에 더 높은 호감도를 보였다. 마지막으로 브랜드의 명품성과 확장제품 일치성의 상호작용에 따른 브랜드 확장 평가에 미치는 영향에 대해 살펴보았는데 중국소비자들을 대상으로 실증연구한 결과 브랜드의 명품성과 확장제품의 일치성 정도는 브랜드 확장 평가에 상호작용을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과는 중국 소비자들에게 어필하기 위해서는 ‘브랜드의 명품성’과 ‘확장제품의 일치성’이라는 변인을 접목시켜 브랜드 확장 전략을 사용해야 됨을 실증한 결과이다. 따라서 두 변인 간의 연결 고리를 확고히 하고, 브랜드 확장을 통해 중국 소비자들과의 긴밀한 관계를 형성하는 것이 효과적으로 자사의 브랜드 확장 제품을 인식시킬 수 있다는 시사점을 제공해 준다.

하나의 신제품이 시장에 나오려면 많은 시간과 개발비용, 광고 및 판촉비용 등이 든다. 하지만 그러한 노력 끝에 나오게 된 신제품이 시장에서 살아남을 가능성은 10~20% 밖에 되지 않는다고 한다. 이러한 이유로 기업에서는 브랜드확장을 통해 신제품을 출시하는 경우가 많은데, 브랜드확장이란 소비자들의 기존 브랜드에 대한 인지도 및 지식, 선호도 등을 확장브랜드에 이용함으로써 다양한 레버리지 효과를 얻을 수 있다(Kimani, Sood, and Bridge, 1999). 샴푸 또한 우리가 일상생활에서 자주 사용하는 퍼스널 케어 제품으로 무수히 많은 제품이 존재하며 브랜드확장을 통해 제품이 나오는 경우가 많다. 이에 샴푸의 브랜드확장 시 모브랜드와 확장브랜드간의 패키지디자인의 여러 그래픽적 요소들인 네이밍(naming), 브랜드로고(brand logo), 색채(color system), 캐릭터(character), 타이포그래피(typography), 레이아웃(layout), 일러스트레이션(illustration)의 등도 브랜드를 인지하는데 있어 중요한 역할을 하지만 이번 연구를 통해 그래픽적인 요소들에서 한 발 더 나아가 용기의 형태 또한 브랜드를 인지할 수 있다고 보고, 용기라는 것이 단순히 무엇을 담는다는 의미에서 확장되어 브랜드를 인지하는데 있어 중요한 역할을 할 수 있다는 것에 초점을 맞추고자 한다.
