The goal of this research is to look into the relationship between social media marketing activities and brand attachment in the online marketing business, based on the indirect effect of perceived value and self-brand connections. For this reason, the study has used self-administered questionnaires to collect the data from 425 males from the major cities of Pakistan including Islamabad, Karachi, Lahore, and Sialkot. Furthermore, based on the PLS-SEM technique the empirical findings show that social media marketing activities positively affect perceived value, self-brand connections, and brand attachment. Perceived value has a significant positive impact on brand attachment and mediates the influence of social media marketing activities on brand attachment. In addition to this, self-brand connections have a positive effect on brand attachment, and self-brand connections mediate the relationship between them. Thus, firms employing social media marketing activities successfully in their branding build upon a positive perception of the brand in the customer's mind resulting in customer attachment with the brand. This study can assist the e-commerce managers and brand managers in building strong customer attachment via perceived value and self-brand connections.

1990년대 이후, 브랜드는 현대인의 소비생활에서 중요한 요소로 자리잡아왔다. 소비자들은 제품의 물리적 속성 및 기능만을 중시하지 않고 제품자체나 소비와 관련된 감성에 의하여 많은 영향을 받고 있다. 이에, 브랜드가 기업 가치를 창조하는 하나의 무형자산으로 인식되면서 브랜드에 대한 관심의 증대와 함께 브랜드에 대한 많은 연구들이 활발히 진행되었다. 본 연구는 선행연구와 이론적 논의를 토대로 브랜드 충성도에 영향을 미치는 선행변수들 간의 관련성에 대한 분석하고자 한다. 구체적으로, 소비자들이 자주 이용하는 정유사를 연구대상으로 삼아 브랜드 충성도에 영향을 미치는 선행요인인 지각된 브랜드 품질, 고객만족, 브랜드 신뢰 간의 관계를 체계적으로 밝힘으로써 이러한 관계가 결과적으로 브랜드 충성도에 기여한다는 의미 있는 결과를 도출해 학술적, 실무적 시사점을 제시하고자 한다. 본 연구를 통한 분석 결과는 다음과 같다. 정유사를 대상으로 소비자가 지각하는 브랜드 품질이 고객 만족 및 브랜드 신뢰에 유의한 영향을 미치고, 고객 만족 및 브랜드 신뢰 모두 브랜드 충성도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 조사되었다. 본 연구 결과에 따르면, 비 차별화된 제품을 판매하는 정유시장에서 소비자가 기름 품질 자체에 대해 인식하는 것은 쉽지 않은 상황이다. 따라서 정유사들은 그 정유사 브랜드 이미지, 서비스, 주유소 시설 등 전반적으로 소비자가 지각하는 정유사 브랜드 품질이 브랜드 충성도를 형성하는 초반이 되며, 이것은 곧 고객 만족 및 브랜드 신뢰에 영향을 미치고 이를 바탕으로 브랜드 충성도를 구축, 유지해야 한다는 점에 주목해야 할 것이다.

Purpose: Brand hearsay refers to information that can be acquired from advertisement, media publicity, and word-of-mouth prior to experiencing products or services of brands. Previous information about brands obtained through brand hearsay affects consumer behavior in choosing brands. Moreover, brand hearsay is an effective communication method in promoting brands to consumers. Thus, bakery franchises need to improve strengths and differentiate characteristics of their brand, thereby attracting more consumers. Therefore, this study investigates relationships the effect of brand hearsay on consumers' brand attitude and brand loyalty in the context of franchised bakery brands. Research design, data, and methodology: A research model was proposed to examine structural relationships between brand hearsay (advertising, publicity, word-of-mouth), brand attitude, and brand loyalty. An online survey was conducted to consumers who had an experience of visiting a franchise bakery. A total of 513 responses were used for data analysis. SPSS 22.0 was used for analyzing general demographics, and SmartPLS 4.0 was used to test validity and reliability of the proposed model. Result: Among attributes of brand hearsay, advertisement and word-of-mouth had positively significant effects on brand attitude, but no significant effect was found between publicity and attitude. Advertisement had a positively significant impact on brand loyalty, while publicity had a negative effect on brand loyalty opposite to hypothesis. Moreover, brand attitude had a statistically significant effect on brand loyalty. Conclusions: In the context of franchise bakeries, brand hearsay contents may change consumers' attitude toward brands but does not increase brand loyalty. Though media publicity does not affect consumers' attitude toward brands, it may decrease brand loyalty when consumers are too exposed to it. In addition, it is necessary to enhance brand attitude to increase brand loyalty of customers. This study provides bakery franchisors and franchisees information about which type of brand hearsay (e.g., advertisement, word-of-mouth, media, publicity) is effective in enhancing brand attitudes and loyalty of consumers. Further studies may include other variables (e.g., trust) in addition to attitude and loyalty, or compare findings based on brand characteristics (e.g., low-to-medium/high prices, store size).

본 연구는 중국 자국 브랜드를 포함하여 중국에 진출한 브랜드의 국가이미지 및 기업이미지를 브랜드의 지각된 품질 그리고 나아가 브랜드이미지 및 자산에 영향을 미치는 중요한 요소로 제시하여 그 역할을 검증하였는데 본 연구의 시사점은 다음과 같이 몇 가지로 정리될 수 있다. 첫째, 국가이미지는 지각된 품질에 영향을 미치는 중요한 요소로 광고 등의 다른 촉진요인과 더불어 영향요인으로 충분히 작용할 수 있다. 전체적으로 국가마케팅 차원에서 정부는 앞으로 중국국민들에게 상당부분의 좋은 국가이미지를 심어주기 위한 홍보나 광고 활동들을 체계적으로 추구해 나갈 필요가 있다. 둘째, 본 연구에서 기업이미지 중에서 특히 기업의 제조능력을 중심으로 해당 브랜드에 대한 지각된 품질과 브랜드이미지에의 영향요인을 검증하였다. 결국, 기업이미지는 소비자들의 브랜드에 대한 지각된품질을 높이는 중요한 요소로 작용하는 것으로 나타났기에 중국에서 한국기업들의 기업이미지 중심전략은 상당한 효과를 볼 수 있다고 생각된다. 결과적으로 본 연구는 브랜드자산 형성에 있어서 국가이미지, 기업이미지 등의 변수가 브랜드의 지각된 품질을 높이고 브랜드이미지를 향상시켜 브랜드의 충성도를 고양할 수 있게 되고 결국 브랜드자산이 높아지는 메커니즘을 설명하고 있다고 볼 수 있다.
