Abstract

To derive implication for marketing strategy for Korean cosmetic products in China, an analysis was conducted on the difference in quality perception and purchase behavior between two groups of Chinese women classified by their awareness of Korean Wave. Analytical methods including k-means clustering method, independent samples t-test, factor analysis were applied on the survey results of Chinese women residing in Guangzhou city. The positive impact of Korean Wave on quality perception and brand image is much stronger for higher awareness group, compared against for lower awareness group, that leads to higher product satisfaction and willingness to recommend purchases. Thus, marketing strategies need to be adjusted based on the difference in customers awareness of Korean Wave. However, the low price is the primary inducement for purchases for both groups, increased efforts to enhance brand image and product quality as premium products is strongly required, together with the utilization of Koran Wave.

중국여성들의 한류(韓流)에 대한 인식도를 기준으로 '고집단'과 '저집단'으로 나누어 한국 화장품에 대한 품질인식과 구매행동을 분석함으로써, 중국내 마케팅 전략수립을 위한 시사점을 도출하고자 하였다. 중국 광저우시에 거주하는 중국 여성을 대상으로 한 설문조사 결과를 k-평균 군집분석, 독립표본 T 검정, 요인분석 등의 연구방법으로 분석하였다. 한류가 품질에 대한 인식과 브랜드이미지 제고에 미치는 긍정적 효과는 저집단보다 '고집단'에게 훨씬 더 강력하였고, 사용 후 만족도와 구매 추천 의향으로까지 연결되는 것으로 나타났다. 두 집단 간 품질 인식과 구매행동 등에 있어 큰 차이를 보여, 지역별 계층별 한류 인지도의 차이에 따라 마케팅 전략을 차별화할 필요가 있음을 시사한다. 다만, 두 집단 모두에게 저렴한 가격이 가장 중요한 구매 동기로 나타나, 한류의 확산과 함께 한국 화장품의 품질과 브랜드의 고급 이미지를 강화하기 위한 노력이 절실하게 필요한 것으로 사료된다.
