Abstract

Researchers are making contradictory claims through the concept of superstars and long tails about how the development of IT technology affects demand distribution. Unlike previous studies that focused on changes in demand from a macro point of view, this study explored whether the relationship between a company's marketing activities and consumer response differs depending on the product location (i.e., superstar vs. long tail) from a micro point of view. Based on the marketing mix framework, hypotheses were developed based on the relevant literature. In the case of empirical analysis, 2,835 daily data from 63 Korean films were tested using the quantile regression method. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the influence of marketing mix factors on sales varies depending on the location of the product. Specifically, the appeal breadth of the film and the effect of owned media are enhanced in superstar products, and the effect of acquisition media in long-tail products is enhanced and the negative effects of competition are mitigated. Unlike previous studies that focused on macroscopic changes in demand distribution, this study suggested marketing activities suitable for practitioners through microscopic analysis.

연구자들은 IT 기술의 발전이 수요분포에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 슈퍼스타와 롱테일 개념을 통해 상반된 주장을 하고 있다(Brynjolfsson et al., 2010). 본 연구는 거시적 관점의 수요변화에 주목한 선행연구와 달리, 미시적 관점에서 기업의 마케팅 활동과 소비자 반응 간의 관계가 제품의 위치(i.e., 슈퍼스타 vs. 롱테일)에 따라 차이가 있는지 탐색하였다. 마케팅믹스 프레임워크를 기반으로 영화 마케팅 문헌에서 제시된 마케팅믹스 요소에 대한 가설을 개발하고, 영화산업을 대상으로 한국의 63개 영화의 45일 데이터 2,835개를 분위회귀분석 방법으로 검증하였다. 분석결과, 마케팅믹스 요소가 매출액에 미치는 영향은 제품의 위치에 따라 차이가 있다는 점을 발견하였다. 구체적으로 영화의 소구 폭과 소유 미디어의 효과는 슈퍼스타 제품에서 강화되며, 롱테일 제품은 획득 미디어의 효과를 강화하고 경쟁의 부정적 효과를 완화하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 거시적 수요분포 변화에 집중해온 선행연구와 달리, 미시적 측면의 분석을 통해 실무자에게 적합한 영화 마케팅 전략을 제안하였다.
