With 'the improvement of brand image through the consolidation of the online and offline brand images' as the goal, the focus of this study lies in brand color. In order to analyze the differences between the website and offline image of a brand, as felt by the consumers, a survey on color image was conducted. Using the results of the survey as the foundation, a comparative analysis of online and offline color images was conducted, and the discrepancies between the two specified. Furthermore, solutions in creating websites that cultivate brand consolidation through color consolidation are presented. Using the thesis 'Research on the Color Strategy of Brand-name Coffees,' as a guide, and supplementing it with necessary improvements, this study presents three areas to consider when designing or managing websites for offline brands. First of all, color image is not static but variable, meaning that it appeals to the consumers differently, depending on change in other brands, trends, consumer point of view, etc. Thus, color image must be flexible. Secondly, overall brand image can be improved by its offline color. However, it should be realized that identical colors could produce different results online and off. Lastly, in general, the online image falls behind the offline image, in regard to color strategy. Therefore, more meticulous and carefully planned color design is necessary, as is the consideration of the unique and distinctive qualities of the World Wide Web.

The increased availability of store brand suppliers now provides retailers with opportunities to create their own lines of vertically differentiated multiple store brands within a product category. As the number of store brands increase, the retailer's shelf space becomes more crowded, which may force the retailer to consider dropping some national brands from its assortment. Despite these trends, the problem of product line design in a vertically differentiated product category has been analyzed mainly from a manufacturer's perspective in the marketing literature and it is not known to what extent the findings of the existing product line design literature provide applicable strategic guidelines for the new problem faced by retailers. In this study, we address this deficiency in the literature and conduct an in-depth study of the retailer's strategic design of a line of store brands and its assortment decision within the context of retail category management. We analyze the retailer's decision about not only how to design a line of store brands but also which national brand to drop from its assortment. The results of our analysis are as follows. First, if the retailer has to drop one of national brands from its assortment, it is the best for the retailer to drop the low-quality national brand rather than the high-quality national brand. Second, the retailer has to position the high-quality store brand relatively close to the high-quality national brand, remained on its shelf, in terms of quality so as to maximize the size of retail margin from the national brand. On the other hand, the retailer should set the quality of the low-quality store brand at a lower level than that of the low-quality national brand to increase the total category demand by attracting more price sensitive consumers. By doing so, the retailer can also minimize cannibalization between two store brands. Lastly, our analysis shows that the introduction of a line of store brands improves consumer welfare by increasing real values of all products on the shelf.

본 연구는 성공적인 기업 브랜드 이미지의 구축을 위한 전략으로서 브랜드 인지도에 의한 제품가치의 향상의 필요성을 확인하고 그 실행 방법으로서 크게 브랜드 이미지 분석과 이를 바탕으로 하는 제품 이미지 프로그래밍, 그리고 제품 이미지의 정합성 평가와 관리의 세 단계로 구성되는 제품 이미지 집중 체계 (PICS : Product Image Concentration System)를 제안하여 기업의 경쟁력 강화와 브랜드 관리를 위한 지침으로 활용하도록 하는 데 그 목적이 있다. 먼저 브랜드 이미지 분석은 이미지 연상기법을 통하여 브랜드 이미지의 성향을 파악하는 방법으로서, 제시된 시각적 자료와의 관여방식을 분석하여 기업이미지와 브랜드 이미지의 인지 방향을 측정하고 분석한다. 다음으로 제품 이미지 프로그래밍은 이와 같은 브랜드 이미지에 대한 분석을 바탕으로 디자인철학(Design Philosophy)과 디자인 원칙(Design Principles)을 정립하고, 비쥬얼 포지션 프로그래밍(Visual Position Programming)을 통하여 제품이미지의 지향방향을 가시화 하는 과정이다. 마지막으로 제품이미지 정합성 평가는 디자인 철학과 디자인 원칙의 적용 여부 등을 평가하여 브랜드에 정합한 디자인을 개발할 수 있도록 평가의 기준점을 제시하기 위한 것이다. 이와 같은 제품 이미지 집중 체계 (PICS : Product Image Concentration System)는 기업의 경쟁력 강화와 브랜드 관리를 위한 실제적인 방법으로서 디자인 작업에 있어서 이미지의 주관성으로 인한 계획과 적용 그리고 관리의 문제를 보다 객관적으로 해결하는 지침으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대되며, 향후 표현중심어에 따른 이미지 스펙트럼의 세분화와 이미지의 비교 분석, 또 여기에 나타난 시각적 질서를 규명하는 제품 이미지 해석 프로그램에 대한 연구가 지속되어야 할 것이다.
