초록

전통적인 마케팅 전략 중 하나인 가격 촉진은 소비자가 느끼는 상품의 가격을 낮추어 소비자의 구매를 유도한다. 기존 연구들에 따르면 제품의 특징, 가격 촉진 형태, 소비자의 특성과 같은 맥락에 따라 가격 촉진은 기업에 긍정적 영향을 줄 수도, 부정적 영향을 줄 수도 있다. 본 연구에서는 최근 많은 디지털 서비스들이 도입하고 있는 구독 기반의 비즈니스 모델 환경에서 가격 촉진의 효과를 살펴보고자 한다. 본 연구의 목적은 가격 촉진이 소비자의 재구매에 미치는 긍정적 효과를 확인하고, 소비자의 인구 역학적 특성과 행동 특성에 따라 그 효과가 어떻게 달라지는지 확인하는 데 있다. 국내 한 음악 스트리밍 서비스의 사용자 기록 데이터를 이용해 가설을 검증하였으며, 분석 모델로는 로지스틱 회귀분석을 사용하였다. 연구결과 소비자의 재구매에 대한 가격 촉진의 긍정적 효과를 확인하였고, 가격 촉진의 긍정적 효과는 연령이 낮은 소비자와 여성 소비자에게서 상대적으로 더 크게 나타났다. 본 연구는 구독 경제에서 가격 촉진의 효과를 확인하고, 성공적인 가격 촉진을 위해 어떤 요인을 고려하여 마케팅 전략을 수립해야 하는지에 대한 방향성을 제공한다는 점에서 연구의 시사점이 있다.

Price promotion is one of the most frequently marketing strategies with a long history. According to various studies, the effect of price promotion is controversial. Some studies have argued that price promotion has a positive effect, while others have found that it has no effect or rather has a negative effect. This study aims to examine the effect of price promotion in a subscription-based service. First, we check the effect of price promotion on the repurchase of the consumer. And we investigate how this effect varies depending on the characteristics of the consumer. Using the data from one of the music streaming service in South Korea, the effect of consumers' price promotion experience, demographic characteristics, and behavioral characteristics on their repurchase is analyzed through logistic regression analysis. As a result of the study, it is found that consumers' experience of price promotion has a positive effect on repurchase. In addition, the positive effect of price promotion is relatively greater in younger and female consumers. This study has implications in that it not only confirmed the positive effect of price promotion in a subscription-based environment but also empirically confirmed that the characteristics of consumers should be considered when performing price promotion.
