Abstract

In line with the increase in consumer demand for mobile games, game companies face stiff competition. For a more successful marketing strategy, many game companies actively adopt Cross Promotion. The Cross Promotion marketing strategy in the mobile game is regarded as a low cost and high efficiency marketing method because the game companies provide new experiences to game users by utilizing existing game infrastructure and absorbing current users of game companies. Despite the advantages of Cross Promotion, there has been little practical study on the relationship between Cross Promotion and mobile game acceptance. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to determine the influential factors of Cross Promotion on the acceptance of mobile games. After reviewing previous research, a structural model was established, a survey was performed and the model was analyzed. The managerial implications are suggested along with the concluding remarks.

모바일 게임에 대한 소비자들의 수요가 증가하면서 게임 기업들 간의 경쟁이 심화되고 있다. 보다 성공적인 마케팅을 위한 전략으로 많은 게임사에서는 크로스 프로모션을 적극 활용하고 있다. 모바일 게임의 크로스 프로모션 마케팅 전략은 기존 게임 인프라를 활용해 소비자에게 새로운 게임에 대한 경험을 제공하고 각 게임사가 보유한 사용자층을 활용할 수 있다는 측면에서 저비용, 고효율 마케팅 방식으로 손꼽힌다. 그러나 크로스 프로모션의 이러한 마케팅적 이점에도 불구하고 크로스 프로모션과 모바일 게임의 수용 관계를 밝히는 실증적 연구는 미비하다. 본 연구는 소비자들의 모바일 게임 수용태도에 미치는 크로스 프로모션의 영향 요인을 규명하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 기존 선행 연구를 바탕으로 소비자의 게임 수용태도에 영향요인들을 살펴보고 모바일 게임의 이미지 광고 및 크로스 프로모션 기획 및 개발에 대한 이론적, 실무적 함의를 제시한다.
