The purpose of this study was to test whether sales promotions of strategic alliances affected brand switching intention and brand loyalty in family restaurants. The types of sales promotions included monetary benefits/non-monetary benefits, and immediate benefit (benefits immediately after consumers agreed to accept promotion)/delayed benefits (benefits received at a later time). For this purpose, a questionnaire survey was completed by 355 customers of family restaurants in Daegu between December 15, of 2009 and January 31, 2010. The study-findings indicated that (1) monetary benefits (application opportunity for gift certificate benefits and price discount benefits) were found to affect brand switching intention and brand loyalty; (2) brand switching intention was partly affected by non-monetary benefits (mileages accumulations benefits, presents benefits, and samples benefits), and (3) brand loyalty was partly influenced by non-monetary benefits (mileages accumulations benefits, presents benefits and electronic newsletter benefits). This study also found that (1) brand switching intention and brand loyalty were partly affected by immediate benefits (sample benefits, presents benefits, and price discount benefits; (2) brand switching intention was partly influenced by delayed benefits (application opportunity for gift certificate benefits and mileages accumulations benefits), and (3) brand loyalty was affected by delayed benefits (application opportunity for gift certificate benefits, mileages accumulations benefits, and electronic newsletter benefits). Based on these findings, family restaurants should use sales promotions as a tool for decreasing brand switching intention and increasing brand loyalty.

본 연구는 소비자 관계에 영향을 미치는 선행 변수로 기능적 편익, 정서적 편익, 자아표현적 편익이 어떠한 영향력을 행사하며, 이러한 소비자-브랜드 관계가 브랜드 애착과 구전에 어떠한 구조적 관계를 나타내는지를 실증적으로 검증하여 살펴보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 구조방정식 모형(Structural Equation Model) 중에서 두 경로 간 크기를 통계적으로 검증할 수 있는 위계적 카이스퀘어 분석(hierarchical chi-squal analysis)을 통해 가설을 검증하였다. 연구 결과 기능적 편익보다는 정서적 편익이 소비자-브랜드 관계 형성에 미치는 영향력이 우세하였다. 또한 소비자-브랜드 관계 형성에 있어 정서적 편익과 자아표현적 편익은 영향력 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 즉, 정서적 편익과 기능적 편익 모두 소비자-브랜드 관계 형성에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 반면, 기능적 편익보다는 자아표현적 편익이 소비자-브랜드 관계 형성에 우세한 역할을 행사하는 것으로 나타났다. 소비자-브랜드 관계 형성정도가 높을수록 브랜드 애착과 구전에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이들 결과를 통해 보면 소비자-브랜드 관계 형성을 위해서는 기능적 편익보다는 정서적 편익과 자아표현적 편익을 통해 브랜드 전략을 수립하는 것이 바람직하다. 또한 이러한 가치 편익을 통해 형성된 소비자-브랜드 관계는 브랜드에 대한 사랑과 같은 애착 정도가 깊어질 뿐 아니라 자발적인 구전을 통해 긍정적이고 장기적인 커뮤니케이션 효과를 달성할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Compared with the research on consumer engagement in brand community, the research on consumer engagement in brand public has been relatively less. This research aimed at exploring how brand public characteristics such as information variety, various communications and no limitation in expressing self affect the brand public engagement. 274 questionnaires answered by Chinese consumers are used to conduct analysis. Principal component analysis is used to test the reliability and validity of each construct, and structural equation model is used to test hypotheses. The study finds the positive effects of information variety on information benefits, those of various communications on social benefits, and also positive roles of no limitation in expressing self to brand-related self-expression motivation. And each of the information benefits, social benefits and brand-related self-expression motivation is proved to positively affect brand public engagement. The study implies that marketers should give attention to characteristics of brand public, and provide the ways by which members of brand public engage the brand. Additionally, marketers should pay more attention to both direct and indirect engagement activities of consumers toward brand public in social media to better understand their target consumers.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of consumers' perceived brand benefits toward brand coffee shops on continuous purchase intentions as well as the mediating effect of brand trust. The survey was conducted on coffee consumers aged 20~40 years living in Seoul and who visited brand coffee shops exposed as product placement (PPL) in TV dramas. Out of 400 questionnaires distributed to consumers, 381 questionnaires (95.3%) were analyzed. Consumers were more interested in places (60.1%) than the products (39.9%) of the coffee shops exposed as PPL. Over half (54.6%) of the respondents showed a positive attitude towards coffee shop PPLs. All three brand benefits perceived by consumers (functional, symbolic, and empirical) had significant positive effects on brand trust and continuous purchase intention. In particular, symbolic benefit has the greatest impact on continuous purchase intention towards the brand. Brand trust had a mediating effect between perceived brand benefits and continuous purchase intentions. Therefore, it is necessary to focus on enhancing the perceived symbolic benefit of the brand to effectively maintain customer relationships. The results suggest that when planning positioning concepts, considering the importance of brand benefits is the best way to increase the competitiveness of coffee shop brands.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the benefits sought by luxury good customers contingent on product category, and to understand the relationship between the benefits sought and brand loyalty. A qualitative approach was used; therefore in-depth interviews were conducted with seven panels of professionals in the luxury industry. The findings are as follows: 1) Handbag customers mainly seek the social benefits in order to express their social status by purchasing well-known, easily-recognizable brands. 2) Shoe customers primarily seek the practical-functional benefits, which are comfort and function. 3) Small Leather Goods customers seek the social benefits for themselves and as gifts for others. 4) Brand loyalty for handbag customers is reported to be low, as their primary goals are the social benefits. Rather than devoting themselves to one specific brand, handbag customers prefer to purchase from various brands. 5) Shoe customers have reportedly higher brand loyalty, as they tend to come back to brands when they are satisfied with the benefits they pursue. The findings of this study provide more information on the practical implications of luxury good customer purchasing habits. Firstly, customers pursue different benefits depending on product category, and secondly, brand loyalty differs by customers' benefits.

본 연구는 페이스 북 브랜드 팬 페이지 사용자들이 추구한 편익을 기능적, 정서적, 상징적 편익의 세 차원으로 분류하여 이들 편익이 브랜드 애착과 브랜드 몰입에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 구조적으로 살펴보고자 하였다. 연구 결과, 기능적 편익에 비해 감성적 편익이 브랜드 애착을 형성하는 데 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 상징적 편익과 기능적 편익 간의 비교에서는 상징적 편익이 브랜드 애착 형성에 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 감성적 편익과 상징적 편익은 차이가 없이 브랜드 애착에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 브랜드 애착은 브랜드 몰입에 영향을 주는 선행 변수라는 점이 확인되었다.
