Abstract

Different people buy the same or similar products for different reasons. Benefit segmentation attempts to understand these differences by grouping together people who assign a similar level of importance to the same attributes. We focused on identifying market segments for knit fabrics by comparing the relative attribute preference for knit fabrics according to segmented clusters, and testing to establish if there were significant differences between the preferences of clusters. Three consumer segments emerged, and there were three clusters with different ideal knit profiles: a preferred wool group, a preferred acrylic group, and a preferred long stitch length group. The preferred wool group and the preferred acrylic group rated the mixture ratio as the main attribute that determined their preference, followed by the stitch length. The preferred long stitch length group considered stitch length as being the most important attribute, followed by the mixture ratio. The difference in the preferences for the mixture ratio and stitch length of knit fabrics was the highest between the three clusters, The preferred wool group preferred a knit fabric that has a greater wool mixture ratio and a short stitch length, and the preferred acrylic group and long stitch length group preferred a knit fabric that had a higher acrylic mixture ratio and a short stitch length.

개개인은 다른 이유를 가지고 동일한 또는 유사한 제품들을 구매한다. 추구 효익이란 동일한 속성에 동일한 상대적 중요성의 수준을 가지는 사람들을 군집하여 이러한 차이를 이해하려는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 니트 소재의 구성특성에 대한 추구 효익에 따라 소비자들을 세분화하고, 컨조인트 분석을 이용하여 선호도에 대한 구성특성들의 상대적 중요성을 비교 분석하여 세분화 집단에 따른 선호도에 유의한 차이가 있는지 분석하였다. 효용도에 따라서 양모 섬유를 선호하는 집단, 아크릴 섬유를 선호하는 집단과 긴 편환장을 선호하는 집단, 세개의 군집이 도출되었으며, 이들은 다른 구성특성의 이상적인 니트 소재를 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 군집들 간에 니트 소재의 혼용률과 편환장에 대한 선호도에 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 양모 섬유를 선호하는 집단은 양모 혼용률이 크고 짧은 편환장을 선호하였으며, 아크릴 섬유를 선호하는 집단과 긴 편환장을 선호하는 집단은 아크릴 혼용률이 크고 긴 편환장을 선호하였다.
