This study examined the relationship between Korean male consumers' perceptions of marketing promotion investment such as advertising expenditure and celebrity endorsement are the brand equity elements. It also compared if there were differences on this research model and two groups that selected Korean or foreign country-of-brand-origin in fashion product purchasing. Online survey responses from 414 Korean men in their 20s-30s were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modeling analysis (SEM). Perceptions of advertising expenditures were found to be positively related to brand association in only the group that selected Korean country-of-brand-origin. The results showed a non-significant effect of perceptions for advertising expenditures on perceived product quality in both groups that selected Korean or foreign country-of-brand-origin. The results indicated that celebrity endorsement had a significant effect on brand association for the two male consumer groups. The results also demonstrated that the relationship of celebrity endorsement and perceived quality was significant in only a group that selected Korean country-of-brand-origin. The results also revealed that the effect of brand association and perceived product quality on brand preference was significant in both male consumer groups. This study has useful managerial implications for enhancing the effectiveness of investment in advertising activities.

소비자의 하이테크 서비스 가입 이후 행태를 살펴보면, 가입자들은 서비스를 실제로 사용하기도 전에 가입 해지결정을 내리기도 한다. 최근 미국의 기간통신회사에서 출시된 인터넷전화 서비스의 경우, 출시 후 1년 반 동안 이탈한 고객 중 무려 60%정도가 서비스를 실제로 사용하기 전 상태인 네트워크 및 시스템이 준비되는 동안이나 소비자가 가정에서 전화기 연결용 어댑터를 설치하는 단계에서 이탈한 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 가입초기 고객의 이탈은 기업에게 고객획득과정에서 지출된 마케팅비용의 손실 및 미래의 매출감소뿐만 아니라, 기 가입자를 통한 미래의 가입 희망자에게 미칠 수 있는 긍정적 구전효과와 같은 간접효과에 대한 손실을 의미한다. 하지만 하이테크 서비스에 대한 소비자의 가입 후 행태에 대한 기존연구는 고객불평 연구, 서비스 사용 후 발생하는 정상적 이탈행태(normal churn)에 대한 연구, 또는 탐색적 연구를 제외하면 매우 부족하다. 더욱이 하이테크서비스의 특성을 고려한 서비스 출시초기에 소비자의 가입직후 해지결정에 대한 결정요인 연구는 그 필요성에 비해 연구가 전무하다시피한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 하이테크 서비스에 대한 소비자의가입시점과 실제 사용시점 사이에 발생하는 소비자의 이탈행태를 이탈시점에 따라 '가입직후 이탈(immediate churn)' 과 '가입 후 이탈(earlychurn)'로 정의한 후, 특히 가입직후 고객의 이탈행태를 설명하기 위해 하이테크 서비스에 대한 소비자의 이전 사용경험정도와 서비스에 대한 정보를 획득한 채널의 정보전달 풍부성 등을 연구모형에 포함하였다. 이 기간 동안에 기업은 서비스 제공에 필요한 부수적인 기기 제공 및 서비스 준비 등을 수행하지만, 동시에 소비자는 여러가지 이유로 가입결정을 제고할 수도 있게 된다. 제안된 연구모형에 대한 실증분석을 위해 미국 유수의 기간통신회사에서 2004년 출시된 인터넷전화(Voice over Internet Protocol: VoIP)서비스에 가입한 12,000여명 의 고객 프로파일과 서비스사용 데이터를 활용하였다. 분석결과 가입자의 하이테크 서비스에 대한 사용경험정도가 낮을수록 서비스 가입직후 바로 해지하는 경향을 보였다. 하지만 하이테크 서비스에 대한 이전 사용경험이 낮은 경우라도, 가입 후서비스를 실제로 사용하였다면 서비스에 대한 가입해지 경향은 더 이상 나타나지 않았다. 이는 가입자의 하이테크 서비스에 대한 이전 사용경험정도가 가입직후 해지에만 영향을 미치는 요인임을 보여준다. 또한 매체의 정보전달 풍부성 (media richness)이 상대적으로 높은 소매점이나 웹사이트를 통해 서비스에 가입한 소비자일수록 가입 직후뿐만 아니라 서비스사용 이후에도 낮은 해지성향을 나타냈다. 이러한 분석결과를 바탕으로 인터넷전화 서비스에 적합한 고객지원 프로그램 설계와 마케팅 매체선정과 관련한 전략적 시사점을 도출한다. 그리고 국내에서 최근 이슈가 되고 있는 차세대 무선인터넷 서비스인 와이브로 출시에 따른 마케팅 및 고객관리와 관련된 시사점을 논의한다.

This study is conducted to provide marketing implications for the growing pet-related market by identifying the impact of attachment to pets on the purchasing attributes of pet goods and the relationship between the purchasing attributes, satisfaction, and behavioral intention.The survey was conducted on 173 respondents among the pet owners who had purchased pet products (beauty/bathing goods). The confirmatory factor analysis and path analysis were conducted using SPSS 22.0 and AMOS 21.0. This analysis results showed that attachment to a pet significantly influences the purchasing attributes of pet products: price appropriateness, quality, design, reputation and the sales environment. The relationship between the product purchasing attributes, satisfaction, and behavioral intention showed that price appropriateness, quality, and the sales environment of the product purchasing attributes had a significant impact on satisfaction, but the product's design and reputation do not. Satisfaction has a significant effect on behavioral intention. This study demonstrates that the pet product market should consider product quality, price appropriateness, use and an accessible sales environment based on the characteristics of pets rather than considering the design or reputation of the owner's preference of product.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of donation expenditure details and the shift in awareness as a result of disclosure of donation expenditure details in order to promote constant donation by nonprofit organizations in the course of marketing activities. The first experiment was configured through $2{\times}2$ intergroup element design based on 2(feedback on donation expenditure details: available vs. unavailable) ${\times}$ 2(donation awareness: expenditure vs. exchange), and furthermore, MANOVA was performed. The results showed that the satisfaction with donation was higher when the donation expenditure details were disclosed(M=5.125, SD=0.437) and that the relation maintenance intention was higher(p<0.01) when the donation expenditure details were disclosed M=5.328, SD=0.459). In addition, the main effect was validated by using the bootstrapping method. The results of overall model validation showed that satisfaction & trust(=0.843, p<0.01) and satisfaction(=0.267, p<0.01) and trust(=0.691, p<0.01) had a positive(+) relationship. Based on aforesaid results, donors are expected to have greater trust if nonprofit organizations make effort to ensure transparent and detailed disclosure of information on expenditure of donations made by donors. Succeeding studies would need to investigate the effect that might vary depending on the type of feedback methods, etc.

Today's propensity to consume is described as a side view of distinct personality, which is different from others, and self-identity. While general enterprises understand the consumer's pattern and reflect it into the marketing, the university is based on conservative spirit and dose not cope with the needs of the times. Therefore the service provided by the university dose not make effective products that reflect the taste of the new generation who is the major customer. University diary, which is one of the typical brusher and costs ten millions won every year, is an example of the ineffective products. As compared with other university advertisements or public relations which the university is recently trying to improve, no interest is given to professional planning and cares for the design of the university diary. In this paper, we study the university identity and information to increase the usefulness of the university diary. To propose a practical improvement method of the design, we analyze real cases and examine the demands of students as a customer.

According to the 2019-2020 social media usage survey conducted by the Seoul e-commerce center, 5 out of 10 consumers have experienced shopping through social media. The cost of traditional advertising media has been reduced and advertising spending on social media has risen by 74%, indicating that social media is becoming a more important marketing element. While the number of users of social media has increased and corporate marketing activities have increased accordingly, research has been conducted in various aspects of marketing such as user motivation for social media, satisfaction, and purchase intention. There was no subdivided study on the differences in the social media usage frequency of consumers in actual purchasing behavior. This study attempted to identify differences in consumer characteristics by cluster in the agrifood purchase situation by grouping them by type according to the frequency of use of social media for consumers who purchase agri-food online. Product involvement, product need, and online purchase channel Consumer characteristics such as demographic distribution, perceived risk, and eating and lifestyle in each cluster were checked for the three agrifood purchase situations including choice, and types for each cluster were presented. To this end, questionnaire data on the frequency of social media use and online agrifood purchase behavior were collected from 245 consumers, and the validity of the measurement variables was secured through factor analysis and reliability analysis. As a result of cluster analysis according to the frequency of social media use, it was divided into three clusters. The first cluster was a group that mainly used open social media, and the second cluster was a group that used both open and closed social media and online shopping malls; The third cluster was a group with low online media usage overall, and the characteristics of each cluster appeared. Through regression analysis, the effect on product involvement, product need, and purchase channel selection when purchasing agri-food online through each of the three clusters was confirmed through regression analysis. As a result of the regression analysis, the characteristic of cluster 1 in the situation of purchasing agri-food online is a male in his 30s living in a rural area who has no reluctance to purchase agri-food on social media or online shopping malls. The characteristics of cluster 2 are mainly consumers who are interested in purchasing health food, and the consumer characteristics are represented. In the case of cluster 3, when purchasing products online, they purchase after considering quality and price a lot, and the consumer characteristics are represented as people who are more confident in purchasing offline than online. Through this study, it is judged that by identifying the differences in consumer characteristics that appear in the agri-food purchase situation according to the frequency of social media use, it can be helpful in strategic judgments in marketing practice on social media customer targeting and customer segmentation.
