최근 온라인 브랜드에 대한 연구들이 많이 등장하고 있으나 온라인 영역에서 브랜드 개성(Brand Personality)과 로열티(Brand Loyalty)간의 관계에 대한 연구는 많지 않다. 본 연구는 온라인 영역에서의 개성과 자아이미지(Self-Image) 그리고 로열티간의 관계를 밝히기 위해 시도되었다. 이를 위해 절대차이모델(Absolute Difference Model)을 적용하여 온라인 브랜드 개성과 자아이미지와의 일치성 지수를 도출하고, 온라인 브랜드 로열티에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다. 연구결과 브랜드 개성의 진실, 최신, 유능성 차원이 온라인 브랜드 로열티에 영향을 미치는 것을 발견하였다. 이러한 결과는 온라인 브랜드의 로열티를 높이기 위해서 는 자아이미지와 브랜드 개성 차원이 일치하는 타겟집단의 선정과 브랜드 이미지 개발이 필요함을 시사하고 있다. 본 연구의 결과는 브랜드 개성을 활용한 온라인 브랜드 차별화 전략과 마케팅 커뮤니케이션 전략을 수립하는데 유용할 것이다.

최근 들어 브랜드 개성이 소비자들의 마음속에 지각된 브랜드를 차별화 시킬 수 있는 중요한 수단이라는 인식이 증가하고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 브랜드 개성에 대한 연구는 아직까지 체계적인 연구가 진행되지 못하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 브랜드의 자아표현적 역할에 초점을 맞추어 브랜드 개성이 소비자행동에 어떻게 영향을 미치는가를 자아이미지와의 일치성과 관련하여 실증적으로 규명하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 요약하면 소비자들은 브랜드의 개성이 자신의 이미지와 일치할 때 해당 브랜드에 더욱 호감을 갖고 있었다. 특히, 제품에 대해 상징적 가치를 높게 지각하고 있는 헤도닉 태도가 높은 소비자의 경우에는 브랜드 개성과의 자아이미지 일치성이 브랜드 태도에 중요한 영향을 미치나, 헤도닉 태도가 낮은 소비자의 경우는 브랜드 개성과 자아이미지의 일치성이 브랜드 태도 형성에 중요하게 고려되지 못하였다.

As the competition becomes more severe, the importance of brand confidence is coming to the front mainly because there has been a tendency of the customer for choosing a product or service in conjunction with the confidence. The concept of brand personality has formed as a result of various efforts for establishing a differentiated and confident brand image. The brand personality is regarded a useful mean for meeting objectives of a corporation for establishing a distinctive brand identity as well as customers for expressing their self-image. In line with the growing importance of the brand personality, researchers have attempted to measure it by various methods. However, most of researches were based on verbal and quantitative methods which take a long period of time and lots of efforts to analyze their results. Such methods also have limitations for visualizing the results. In this vein, this study aims to develop a new visible brand personality measurement system by utilizing the purpose-designed avatar. Major findings of the study are as follows: Firstly, the avatar can be an effective mean for visualizing the brand personality. As the avatar can visualize the personalities of human-beings through facial expressions, clothing, attitudes and movements, a specially designed avatar can express the brand personality. Secondly, types of the brand personality can be segregated into distinctive seven classes and such classes are used as guidelines for developing specially designed brand personality avatars. Thirdly, the purpose-designed brand personality avatar can be an effective mean for measuring the brand personality as a result of various tests for the validity. In condusion, avatar can be a more powerful tool than language for measuring the brand personality.

본 연구에서는 브랜드 개성이 제품의 개성을 판단하는데 영향을 미치는가에 대하여 설문을 통해 살펴보았다. 동일한 제품에 대하여 개성이 상이한 브랜드가 적용되었을 경우 제품의 개성을 판단함에 있어 브랜드 개성의 특성이 반영되는지 여부를 확인하고자 하였다. 설문을 위하여 두 켤레의 신발을 준비하였으며 각각은 상징적인 측면이 강조된 여성용 하이힐 제품과 기능적인 측면이 강조된 운동화로 구성하였다. 각 제품에 대하여 명품브랜드(Versace), 일반 상용 브랜드(독일: C&A, 한국: 밀리오레), 그리고 브랜드가 부착되지 않은 총 6장의 사진을 준비하였다. 실험에 앞서 별도의 피험자들이 상기 사용된 브랜드들에 대하여 "frohlich/유쾌함(cheerful)", "ehrlich/정직함(honest)", "provokativ/도발적인(provocative)"의 형용사로 평가를 하였다. 본 실험에서는 실험참여자에게 각 신발들의 3가지 사진 중 무작위로 선정된 사진을 한 장씩 보여주고, 각각에 대해 브랜드 측정에 사용했던 동일한 평가항목을 이용하여 평가하도록 했다. 더불어, 본 연구는 개인주의 문화권에 비하여 집단주의 문화권에서 브랜드의 영향이 더 두드러지게 나타나는 지를 알아보기 위하여 독일의 만하임대학(Universitaet Mannheim)과 한국의 한국과학기술원(KAIST) 학생들을 위주로 설문을 실시하여 문화적 차이에 따른 브랜드 영향력을 비교하고자 하였다. 실험결과에서는 독일과 한국 모두에서 브랜드 개성이 제품 개성에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났으나, 브랜드 개성이 제품의 기능적 측면(가격)에는 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다(p<.001).

Due to tough competition among social network services, technological specification alone could not be an adoption factor by the users. Instead, emotional factors such as a brand image and feeling towards an SNS brand became important factors in service differentiation. This study examined Korean young users perception of brand personalities of three social network services, Facebook, Kakao Story, and Band. It also analyzed the influence of the perception of brand personality, brand-self-image congruence, and brand affect on brand recommendation to others. The authors conducted a survey of Korean college students. The results indicate that SNS users perceived three SNS's brand personalities differently, and the positive perception of an SNS service has a positive effect on brand recommendation. Brand personality, brand-self-image congruence, and brand affect combined determine brand recommendation. When the brand personality variable is statistically controlled, brand affect has strong effect on brand recommendation.
