Consumer interest in eco-friendly fashion products has been consistent. While most relevant research emphasizes individual morals and environmental concern as the most crucial determinants to eco-friendly consumption behavior, more recent studies point out that in so doing there has been somewhat a neglectance on the importance of fundamental marketing strategies. More specifically, the crucial role of interior colors in fashion retail stores has been managerially considered something certain yet no empirical results have been found to support such a strong managerial assumption. For instance, colors such as green, blue, and brown are believed to represent natural images and are more appropriate to the eco-friendly marketing and the relevant research has been lacking. Therefore, this study attempts to explore the effect of in-store interior design colors (green versus non-green) on consumer perception of green store images. A total of 382 respondents were gathered for an online survey using differing store images as the stimulus and used for testing hypotheses. In the results, respondents exposed to store images using green interior colors reported a higher evaluation of green store image of the store. The effect is found to be significantly moderated by respondent’s environmental concern: to explain, respondents of high environmental concern are less influenced by green color interiors when they evaluate the brand’s eco-friendly image. In sum, the positive influence of green interior colors on green store image is found statistically significant, with its stronger effect for consumers of low concern. Managerial and academic discussions are provided.

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.

본 연구에서는 농산물점포인 대형슈퍼마켓을 대상으로 상품의 품질, 애프터서비스, 판매촉진, 상품다양성 등 점포이미지 요인과 만족, 점포의 지각된 품질, 고객충성도 간의 관계를 분석하여 점포의 지각된 품질, 만족, 고객충성도 각각에 대한 점포이미지 요인을 확인하였고, 또한 점포이미지 요인이 고객충성도에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다. 연구결과로는 점포이미지 차원과 점포의 지각된 품질 관계에서 상품의 품질, 애프터서비스 및 판매촉진이 점포의 지각된 품질에 영향을 주었다. 점포이미지 차원과 만족 관계에서 상품의 품질, 판매촉진 및 상품의 다양성이 만족에 영향을 주었다. 점포이미지 차원과 고객충성도 관계에서 상품의 품질 만이 고객충성도에 영향을 주었다. 다음으로 점포이미지 차원, 점포의 지각된 품질, 만족 및 고객충성도 등 구성개념 간의 관계에서는 상품의 품질, 애프터서비스 및 판매촉진은 점포의 지각된 품질에 영향을 주었고, 상품의 품질 및 상품다양성은 만족에 영향을 주었다. 점포의 지각된 품질은 만족에 영향을 줌으로써 만족은 고객충성도에 영향을 주었다.

The purpose of this study is to identify the determinants of store loyalty for the Internet fashion shopping malls. As determinants, this study included self-image, perceived risk, and conformity. This study hypothesized that positive self-image influences the Internet fashion shopping mall loyalty through perceived risk and conformity. Regarding the relationship between perceived risk and conformity, this study hypothesized that perceived risk positively influences conformity. Using convenience sampling method, data were gathered by surveying university students living in Seoul. Two hundred forty four questionnaires were used in the statistical analysis, and factor analysis and path analysis were conducted using structural equation modeling in analyzing data. The results showed that positive self-image significantly influenced the internet fashion shopping mall loyalty indirectly by influencing perceived risk. The results also showed that perceived risk positively influenced conformity which positively influenced the internet fashion shopping mall loyalty.
