Abstract

본 연구는 인터넷 사용동기에 근거한 온라인 시장을 세분화하고자 하였다. 표본은 미국 남서부지역의 대학생으로 총 219명의 Y세대 소비자로 구성되었다. 자료분석을 위해 군집분석(Cluster Analysis)과 분산분석(ANOVA)을 사용하였다. 군집분석결과, 온라인소비자는 3개의 세분시장 즉, "쾌락적 소비자", "실용적 소비자", "비능동적 소비자" 집단으로 분류되었다. 개인적 특성 중, 성별과 연령에 따라 세 집단별 유의한 차이가 없었으나, 능동적 소비자 집단 (쾌락적소비자, 실용적 소비자)이 비능동적 소비자 집단보다 인터넷 사용시간과 온라인쇼핑에 드는 비용을 더 많이 소비하는 것으로 나타났다. 온라인구매성향에 있어서, 전반적으로 충동구매성향이 낮지만, 세 집단별 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보여, 쾌락적 소비자가 가장 높았고, 다음은 실용적 소비자, 비능동적 소비자 순이었다. 계획구매성향은 전반적으로 높았으며, 쾌락적 소비자와 실용적 소비자 두 집단이 비능동적 소비자보다 계획구매성향이 더 높게 나타났다. 또한, 온라인구매의도는 실용적소비자가 가장 높았으며, 다음은 쾌락적 소비자, 비능동적 소비자 순이었다. 구체적으로 상품군별 구매의도차이를 검증한결과, 실용적소비자는 "책 또는 잡지", "액세서리와 보석"에 대한 온라인 구매의도가 가장 높은 반면, 쾌락적 소비자는 "여행티켓 또는 예약", "오락 및 여가상품"에 대한 온라인 구매의도가 가장 높은 경향을 보였다. 따라서, Y세대 소비자를 위한 온라인 시장세분화에 따른 차별화된 마케팅 전략이 논의되었다.
