Abstract

For some consumer goods, consumers expect additional benefits or returns after purchasing or using them. This kind of consumer goods that consumers expect some additional benefits or returns after consumption (hereafter consumer goods of investment or CGOI) need not only an approach of simple purchasing perspective but also an approach from investment perspective. Current study tries to figure out if consumers react differently in their purchasing intentions toward CGOI between when they focus on the product's quality, functions, or other current state related information (i.e., simple purchase focus) and when they focus on the benefits that will be generated after using the product (i.e., investment focus). According to the results, while consumers' purchasing intentions toward CGOI in the investment mode are greater when the price is low than when the price is high, consumers' purchasing intentions toward CGOI in the simple purchasing mode are greater when the price is hgih than when the price is low.

일부 소비재의 경우 소비자들은 제품이나 서비스를 사용한 뒤 어떤 추가적인 혜택의 발생에 대한 기대를 가질 수 있다. 제품을 다 쓰고 난 뒤에 발생할 이익에 대한 기대가 포함된 소비재(본 연구에서는 투자성 소비재라고 함)는 단순 구입 개념보다는 투자 개념에서의 접근이 필요하다. 본 연구는 투자성 소비재의 구매와 관련하여 소비자가 단순히 구입 개념으로 접근하는 경우와 투자개념으로 접근하는 경우 어떤 차이가 발생하는지를 알아보고자 한다. 연구결과에 의하면 소비자들이 단순히 제품의 현재 상태에 대한 정보를 중심으로 구매에 집중하는 경우에는 일반적인 소비재들의 구매에서처럼 품질이 좋을 것으로 기대되는 고가격 제품에 대한 구매의도가 품질이 낮을 것으로 생각되는 저가격 제품의 경우보다 더 높게 나오지만, 제품을 사용하고 난 뒤 얻게 될 미래의 혜택에 집중하는 경우에는 위험한 고가격 제품보다는 안전한 저가격 제품에 대한 구매의도가 더 높게 나오는 것으로 나타났다.
