In a situation where the importance of eco-friendly fashion is growing, this study adds to the needed research by analyzing consumption value satisfaction factors, brand image, and repurchase intentions of eco-friendly fashion products. During the investigation, the impact of gender was also accounted for to establish an effective marketing strategy. In June 2024, 250 surveys were evaluated from domestic consumers with experience purchasing eco-friendly fashion products. Descriptive statistical analysis, factor analysis, reliability analysis, and regression analysis were performed. Five factors were measured to determine satisfaction with the consumption value of eco-friendly fashion products: emotional value, functional value, social and situational value, passive value, and rare and eco-friendly value. Empirically subdividing satisfaction with eco-friendly fashion as recognized by consumers reveals meaningful findings about consumption value. Among the factors of consumption value satisfaction with eco-friendly fashion products, functional value, social and situational value, and rare and eco-friendly value all positively affected repurchase intention. The consumer’s gender also made a difference in satisfaction. Considering these results, the marketing effect of eco-friendly fashion can be increased. This study will be able to increase the ESG management effect of fashion companies. By performing ESG management, the fashion industry can achieve social and environmental responsibility along with sustainable growth.

This study examines how brand-influencer, influencer-users, and user-brand congruences affect perceived fantasy about the influencer and closeness toward the brand when an Instagram ad is endorsed by celebrity (vs. non-celebrity) influencers. The study employed a between-subject online experiment by manipulating an advertisement endorsed by a celebrity and a non-celebrity influencer. The results suggest that congruence between brand-influencer matters in building effective relationships.

The purpose of this study was to investigate brand slognas that are effective in explaining how brand identity affects consumers. The effect of congruity between brand slogan and self-image (low and high) on attitude to slogans and brands were anaylzed. The moderating effect of self-monitoring (low and high) was also investigated. Survey data from 177 people in their 20s-30s were analyzed through descriptive statistics, exploratory factor analysis, and two-way ANOVA. First, congruity between slogan and self-image had a positive effect on both slogan and brand attitude. In other words, the higher the congruity between slogan and self-image, the more positive the attitude toward the slogan and brand. Second, no interactive effect was found in congruity between slogan and self-image and self-monitoring on slogan attitude; however it was identified for brand attitude. Again, in a group with high congruity between slogan and self-image, attitude toward the brand was more positive when self-monitoring was higher than when it was low. In conclusion, brand slogans that can represent the self-image of highly self-monitoring consumers are effective. In particular, this is meaningful as it has revealed its relationship with the impact of identity self-image congruity and self-monitoring on brand attitudes in fashion brands. These results offer meaningful guidance in determining brand slogans according to consumers’ personal characteristics.

In this research, we show certain relationships between brand (company) image and corresponding financial image, which has not revealed well. With considering the results of this research, brand manager will be able to establish their brand strategies more comprehensively and enhance their brand value.

본 연구는 국가와 도시의 브랜드 이미지를 활용한 문화상품 개발을 목적으 로 하고 있다. 연구 목적을 달성하기 위해 먼저 국가와 도시 브랜드 이미지의 개념과 사례, 그리고 문화상품 대한 이론적 논의에 대해 살펴보았고, 이러한 이론적 논의를 바탕으로 실질적인 문화상품 제작과정을 한국과 부산의 도시브 랜드 이미지의 디자인 연구와 한국과 부산 도시브랜드 이미지를 활용한 문화 상품 개발로 구분하여 진행하였다. 브랜드를 다른 상품과의 차별화를 위한 가 치부여라고 정의한다면, 국가와 도시브랜드 역시 차별화에 초점을 두고 있다 고 볼 수 있다. 따라서 국가 브랜드와 도시 브랜드는 특정 국가와 도시가 가지 는 다양한 환경, 기능, 시설, 서비스 등에 의해 다른 국가와 도시로부터 구별되는 상태라고 정의할 수 있다. 그리고 문화상품은 상품화의 가능성이 상대적으 로 낮았던 문화를 원천으로 하여 만들어진 상품으로 일반상품에 비해 상대적 고부가치성을 가진 상품이다. 국가와 도시브랜드 이미지를 입힌 디자인을 기 초로 하는 고부가치성의 문화상품은 국가와 도시를 새롭게 각인시키는 데 긍 정적인 기제로 사용이 가능한 상품이다. 이상과 같은 이론적 논의를 바탕으로 본 연구에서는 한국의 상징과 과거와 현재를 담고 있는 부산의 브랜드 이미지 를 스토리텔링 방법을 적용하여 패턴화 하여 총 200여종의 문화상품을 제작하 였다. 본 연구에서 제작된 한국과 부산의 브랜드 이미지를 활용한 문화상품들 은 기존 한국과 부산의 브랜드 이미지를 강화하는 데 일조할 수 있을 것이며, 관광객들에게 ‘매력적인 방문지로서 한국과 부산’이라는 이미지를 각인시키는 데 긍정적인 효과를 가져다 줄 수 있을 것이라 자평할 수 있다.

스포츠 상품 시장에서 각 브랜드가 소비자에게 미치고자 하는 영향력은 여러 가지 형태로 시도 되었으며, 그 효과 또한 증명되어 가고 있다. 각 브랜드들이 자신들이 활용할 가치가 있다고 판단하여 수립한 다양한 마케팅 전략들이 증명되어가고 있는 것이다. 하지만 최근 나타난 새로운 소비 유형이라 할 수 있는 스포츠 상품 수집가를 활용한 마케팅 전략은 지금껏 그 영향력이 실증적으로 검증된 바가 없었다. 기존의 스포츠 상품 시장에서 나타난 수집 행위에 이해도가 매우 낮았기 때문이다. 어느 정도 한계에 봉착했다고 여겨지는 스포츠 상품 시장에 새로운 마케팅 전략이 필요하다고 판단한 도전적 사고에서 본 연구를 시작하였으며 스포츠 상품 수집가를 활용한 마케팅 전략을 수립함에 있어서 그 영향력이 형성되는 경로를 설정하고 증명하는데 그 목적을 두고 있다. 이 연구의 목적을 달성하기 위하여 가상의 스포츠 상품 수집가의 상품 설명에 대한 자극물을 접한 잠재 소비자 231명을 대상으로 SPSS 21.0과 AMOS 20.0을 이용하여 빈도분석, 신뢰도분석, 상관관계분석 및 확인적 요인분석과 구조방정식을 이용하였다. 이 연구에서 도출된 결과를 바탕으로 하여 스포츠 상품 시장에서 스포츠 상품 수집가들이 보유하고 있는 전문성을 바탕으로 하는 새로운 마케팅 전략의 경로를 발견하였다고 할 수 있으며, 이를 바탕으로 침체된 우리나라 스포츠 상품 시장에 새로운 성장 동력의 하나로 작용할 수 있기를 기대하는 바이다.

This study investigated how the image congruity of social commerce and fashion brand types affects purchase intention and how trust and price sensitivity moderate this relationship. National brands, private brands, and non-brands were used as brand types in the present study. The online survey method was used to gather the data, and 232 data samples were analyzed. The results of the research were as follows. Consumers perceived greater image congruity between social commerce and nonbrands, followed by private brands and national brands. The significant perception differences were examined by comparing the mean values. There was a significant positive effect of image congruity of social commerce and non-brands on purchase intention. However, insignificant effects were found for image congruity between social commerce and private brands and national brands. In addition, trust and price sensitivity positively predicted social commerce purchase intention. A significant moderating effect of trust was found on the relationship between purchase intention and image congruity of social commerce and non-brands. A moderating effect of price sensitivity was found on the relationship between purchase intention and image congruity of social commerce and private brands. The findings of the present study offer valuable insights into social commerce concerning implementing diverse fashion brands as well as academic and practical implications.

Thanks to their competitive price, store brands have important opportunities in emerging countries where customers have greater experience with modern retail products. However, less research has been devoted to the effect of store brand price while it is well known that price image is a critical factor that drives purchase behavior. The aim of this research is to understand how store brand price image factors (relative price, perceived benefit and perceived value) and perceived risk dimensions (functional and financial) affect attitude toward store brands in Colombia. Store brand relative price, store brand perceived benefit and store brand perceived value affect significantly attitude toward store brands in the Colombian context. However, neither store brand perceived functional risk, not store brand perceived financial risk affect attitude toward store brands. These results highlight the specificity of Colombia among emerging countries and have both theoretical and managerial implications.

Continuing the research stream of Gwinner and Eaton (1999) and Kwon, Ratneshwar et al. (2016), this study proposes a 3x2x2 mixed model experiment to extend the investigation of sport sponsorship‟s influence on the image of the sponsoring brand by perceived brand localness. It is assumed that a brand‟s country of origin presents an integral part of its image. Perceived brand localness either ease or hamper the assessment of image congruence with the sponsored entity via the brand‟s country of origin. As a result, the influence is supposed to be larger for brands local in the sponsored team‟s home country, and lower for brands non-local. A further distinction is drawn for nonlocal brands regarding their belonging to either a western or eastern cultural sphere. The influence is supposed to be less low for brands in the same sphere and additionally low for brands in different spheres. Furthermore, the study replicates Kwon, Ratneshwar et al. (2016)‟s finding that the increase in image congruence is moderated by functional similarity in a cross-country setting. The experiment is conducted in Germany, the UK, China, and Japan with a corporate brand‟s shirt sponsoring of a soccer team as stimulus.
