As consumers' alternatives in fashion store selection increase, they select different store types to purchase different product types. Therefore, the probability of patronage mix behavior according to product type increases. Understanding consumers patronage mix behavior, finding out the determinant attributes of fashion stores for each product type are important to retailers and marketers for building a successful merchandising and marketing strategies. Most of the previous researches in store selection and patronage assume consumer behavior as single store patronage, and thus relatively little is known about patronage mix behavior. Also, little attention has been given to product characteristics as an important variable in store patronage behavior. The purposes of this study were to determine the effects of product characteristics in consumers patronage mix behavior. In this study, a theoretical model including product characteristics as an intervening variable between store attributes and patronage behavior was developed. A Questionnaire was developed and data were collected form 464 adult women living in Seoul area in Korea. Factor analysis, paired t-test, ANOVA, Duncan test and discriminant analysis were employed to analyze the data. As a result, the suggested model was partially verified. First, the product characteristic was found to have an effect on perceived importance of store attributes and on determinant attributes of stores. Consumers were found to use different evaluative criteria for store attributes when they purchase different product types. Second, the perceived importance of store attributes was determined by consumer characteristics as well as product characteristics. Third, the determinant attributes in store selection were affected not only by the perceived importance of store attributes but also by the type of product to be purchased.

This study compares fashion leaders and market mavens by examining the demographic characteristics of fashion leaders and market mavens and how they differ in their evaluation of store and shopping related attributes. Data originated from a national consumer mail survey in the United States. The survey included items measuring market mavenism, fashion leadership, store evaluative attributes, and personal information. Responses from 380 consumers were used for data analysis. Female consumers were found to be more active in word-of-mouth activities in general. Young consumers were more inclined to express fashion leadership while age was not related to market mavenism. A lower level of education increased tendencies for both market mavenism and fashion leadership. In terms of store evaluative criteria, the majority of items in the survey were more important as fashion leadership and market mavenism tendencies increased. Interestingly, the need for knowledgeable or helpful salespeople did not increase with fashion leadership tendencies. Also, fashion leaders were interested in easy return of merchandise and were likely to spend more time in the stores. This study sheds important light on how fashion leadership differ compared to market mavenism. By simultaneously examining fashion leadership and market mavenism using a strong sample base, this study provides sound evidence of how consumers interested in fashion may have differing needs for shopping.

일반적으로 거래를 할 때 판매자는 자신에 유리한 정보를 구매자에게 제공하려 한다. 하지만 자신에게 불리할 수 있는 정보를 제공하는 경우도 있는데, 이런 경우 과연 어떤 효과가 있는지 궁금하다. 제공물에 관한 부정적 정보를 제공하는 방식은 여러 가지 있지만 본 연구에서는 특히 최근 들어 그 중요성이 높아지고 있는, 구매접점에서 제공되는 것을 연구과제로 정하였다. 또한 구매자가 제품의 품질을 알기 어려운 경우에 부정적 정보 제공의 효과가 선명하게 드러날 것으로 보아 , 경험품질속성이 강한 사과를 대상으로 세 가설을 현장실험으로 검증하였다. 그 결과 제공물의 중요한 속성에 관한 부정적 정보의 제공이 해당제품의 매출에 부정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며 구체적으로 사과 순매출감소율이 27.6 %나 되었다. 또한 대체 제공물에 대한 유혹효과는 통계적으로 입증되지 않았으나 수치상으로 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났는데, 실험에서 딸기 순매출증가율이 5.2%이었다. 하지만 사과에 대해 잘 아는 소비자들의 점포에 대한 신뢰도 증가는 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다. 연구결과로 미루어 인과스키마타에 어긋나는 정직한 정보의 제공으로 얻는 것이 별로 없으며, 약하지만 대체 제공물에서도 유혹효과가 나타난다는 점을 알 수 있다. 이렇기 때문에 판매자 입장에서 대체제품이 있는 경우, 특정제품에 대해 부정적 정보를 제공하는 의미는 어느 정도 있다고 볼 수 있다.

The purpose of this study is to examine the locational characteristics of cafes in Jeju Island and the changes. For the purpose, we identify the spatial distribution patterns of openings and closings by period from the first opening of cafes in Jeju Island to the present. In particular, we analyze the spatial distribution characteristics found in the locations of cafes that have been opened and closed after the outbreak of COVID-19, in which new stores have significantly increased. In addition, we identify the regional attributes and the influence of online that have affected the distribution of currently open cafes and cafes that have opened or closed during the COVID-19 outbreak. As a result of empirical analysis, Jeju Island is a tourist destination and island region with the characteristics of determining major destinations through information search, showing a different distribution form from the location of cafes in inland cities. In particular, as a result of frequency analysis by extracting keyword search volume for cafes in Jeju Island, online accessibility such as information search for new areas and places in Jeju Island has become more diversified and expanded after COVID-19. In addition, as a result of calculating the distance to cafes by road size, the relationship between physical location and road accessibility, which has traditionally been an important factor, was relatively low. This study is meaningful in that it revealed the distribution patterns and characteristics of cafe locations in Jeju Island by reflecting the influence of online and offline.
