Abstract

This study attempts to explore the design sensitivity of both luxury and non-luxury brand products, and its effect on purchase intention. As a result, there was no difference in design sensitivity between luxury and non-luxury brand product, but the effect of design sensitivity on purchase intention was found different between luxury and non-luxury brand. It shows that for luxury brand, the people with high design pursuit of the brand have high purchase intention while for non-luxury brand, the people with high design value of the brand have high purchase intention. It indicates that for luxury brands, consumers already recognize the value of its design, which does not affect the purchase intention. For non-luxury brands, it would be important to let consumers recognize their design value.

본 연구는 탐색적 연구로서 패션 제품군에서 명품 브랜드와 비명품 브랜드에 따라 디자인 민감도가 차이가 날 것인가를 검토하고 디자인 민감도가 브랜드 동일시와 함께 제품의 구매의도에 어떠한 영향력을 미칠 것인지를 살펴보았다. 분석결과 디자인 민감도는 명품과 비명품간에 차이가 나타나지 않았으나, 구매의도에 미치는 영향에 대해서는 차이가 있었다. 우선 전체 데이타를 살펴본 결과, 브랜드의 디자인 가치와 디자인 추구노력, 추구성향이 구매의도에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 이미지가 일치하는 것보다는 해당 브랜드의 디자인에 대해 가치를 높이 평가하고 좋은 디자인의 제품을 구매하려는 노력을 많이 하는 사람일수록 패션제품의 구매의도가 높다는 것이다. 명품과 비명품으로 구분하여 브랜드 동일시와 디자인 민감도의 구매의도에 대한 영향을 알아본 결과, 명품의 경우 루이비통 패션제품의 디자인 추구성향이 높은 사람이 구매의도가 높음이 나타났고, 비명품의 경우 쌈지의 디자인이 가치가 있다고 느끼는 사람일수록 쌈지 제품의 구매의도가 높아지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 명품일 경우에는 이미 디자인의 가치에 대해서는 많은 사람들 사이에서 인정되고 인식되어 있으므로 해당 제품의 구매의사결정에 영향을 미치지 않지만, 비명품의 경우에는 브랜드 제품의 디자인이 가치가 있다는 사실부터 인지되어야 구매의도에 영향을 미칠 수 있다고 밝혀졌다.
