Abstract

Omni-channel enables businesses to provide a seamless customer experience by organically integrating data from multiple channels. Customers have increasingly used mobile applications to place orders and make payments in offline stores. In such context, this study investigated the effects of customer experiences on brand loyalty via offline and mobile channels. Additionally, it examined the role of habit in establishing brand loyalty in a daily service environment. This study confirmed the importance of functional, human, and mechanical cues on perceived value in the offline channel. Additionally, differences in the influence of customer experiences via offline and mobile channels on brand loyalty were examined at based on the age and gender. The research model was empirically validated using survey data collected from 365 customers who visit coffee chains via mobile applications. The analysis results found that both perceived value of offline stores and loyalty to mobile applications have a significant effect on brand loyalty. Habit plays another critical role in enhancing brand loyalty. The findings of this study help service providers better understanding of the formation mechanism of brand loyalty in the context of omni channel and will be able to develop more effective marketing and operations strategies.

옴니 채널은 멀티 채널 경험을 유기적으로 연결하여 고객 경험을 제고하는 것을 의미한다. 최근 오프라인 매장에서 모바일 어플리케이션이나 키오스크를 통해 주문이나 결제하는 환경이 조성되고 있다. 이런 맥락에서 오프라인 채널과 모바일 채널의 서비스 경험이 브랜드 충성도에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고자 하였다. 또한 일상적으로 쓰거나 소비되는 서비스 환경에서 습관이 브랜드 충성도 미치는 영향도 살펴보았다. 오프라인 매장의 경험을 기능적, 인간적, 기계적 단서로 구분하여, 관련 요인들이 인지된 가치에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 더욱이, 고객들의 나이와 성별에 따른 선행 요인들이 브랜드 충성도에 미치는 영향 차이를 살펴보았다. 커피 전문점을 방문하면서 모바일 어플리케이션을 사용해본 365명의 고객들을 대상으로 연구 모형을 검증하였다. 연구 분석 결과, 오프라인 매장의 인지된 가치와 모바일 어플리케이션 충성도는 브랜드 충성도에 유의한 영향을 미쳤다. 또한 예상한 것과 같이 습관도 브랜드 충성도에 유의한 영향을 미쳤다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 옴니 채널 환경에서 고객들의 브랜드 충성도 형성 과정을 이해하고, 이를 바탕으로 효과적인 마케팅 및 운영 전략을 수립하는데 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
