Recently, smartphone purchase channels are becoming more complex and diverse. A smartphone with a short purchase cycle is a product applying advanced technology, the research of this topic would be significant. The major findings of this study are as follows. First, depending on the consumer's shopping orientation, the consumer group was classified into three groups of preference 1. Active shopping, 2. Convenient shopping, and 3. Rational shopping. Second, it was analyzed that the consumer's shopping orientation influenced the decisions of the information search channel and the purchase channel. Third, there was a significant difference between the search and purchase channels in the three groups. Finally, in the channel experience, there was a significant difference in price satisfaction by group.

본 연구는 멀티채널 환경에서 소비자들이 스마트폰 구매채널 선택에 영향을 미치는 요인에 대해서 분석하고자 한다. 최근 들어 스마트폰 구매 채널이 더욱 복잡하고 다양해지고 있다. 또한, 스마트폰은 교체주기가 짧고 최신 기술이 적용되기 때문에, 소비자 채널선택 요인은 매우 중요한 연구의 주제이다. 본 연구의 결과를 요약하면 첫째, 쇼핑성향을 기준으로 적극적 쇼핑, 편의성추구, 가격과 합리성추구 소비자집단이 유형화 되었다. 둘째 쇼핑성향에 따른 특징이 정보탐색과 구매채널 선택에 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 셋째, 3개의 집단 별 정보 탐색 채널과 구매 채널에 대해서 유의미한 차이가 나타났다. 넷째 채널 경험에서는 가격만족도에서 집단 별로 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 이러한 연구의 결과가 스마트폰 소비자 집단 별 맞춤형 멀티채널 전략 수립에 있어 실무적인 시사점을 제공해 줄 것으로 기대한다. 또한 본 연구를 통해 스마트폰 구매채널 연구에 바람직한 연구의 모형을 제시했다는 데 그 공헌점이 있다.
