A survey was conducted with 400 adults aged in their 20s to 50s. To analyze the data, factor analysis, a reliability test, cluster analysis, and ANOVA were conducted. The results were as follows. First, the shopping values exhibited by sportswear consumers were a utilitarian shopping value and a hedonic shopping value. Through these, consumers were classified into four groups: a shopping value-oriented group, a utilitarian shopping value group, a shopping value-unconcern group, and a hedonic shopping value group. Second, the customer experience consisted of five factors: sensory experience, emotional experience, cognitive experience, behavioral experience, and relational experience. Third, a significant difference was observed in customers' perceived experiences according to shopping value type.

First, according to fashion lifestyle, the respondents were divided into an individuality-valued pragmatic group, a trend-oriented brand-seeking group, a fashion-interested group, and a conservative pragmatic group. Second, customer experience components were divided into sensory experience, emotional experience, cognitive experience, behavioral experience, and relational experience. Third, on analyzing the relationship between customer experience and fashion lifestyle, it was found that a fashion-interested group has the highest value in all experiences; therefore, it can be considered that the higher the interest in fashion, the more important is the customer experience. On the other hand, the conservative pragmatic group represented generally smaller values than the other three groups in all customer experiences. Fourth, there were significant differences in the customer experience components that were considered to be important depending on the fashion lifestyle type. An individuality-valued pragmatic group valued cognitive experiences, a fashion-interested group valued all experiences, and a conservative pragmatic group showed low scores in all customer experiences.

디지털 관점에서의 고객 여정과 고객 경험 관리는 기업의 중요한 현안으로 대두되고 있다. 대형 가전제품 시장도 최근 온라인 판매량이 크게 증가하면서 디지털 고객 경험의 중요성이 높아지고 있으나, 오프라인 중심의 기존 방식이 유지되면서 온라인에서 정보를 찾고 제품을 구매하는 고객의 경험은 차별화되지 못하고 있다. 이 연구는 고관여 제품인 대형 가전제품의 온라인 구매 고객을 중심으로 구매 여정 각 단계별 고객 경험의 특징과 상호 영향을 분석하고, 제품 재구매 의도에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 분석 결과, 정보검색 단계의 인지적, 정서적 경험 모두가 만족도에 직접 영향을 주고 있으나, 구매 단계에서 정서적 경험은 인지적 경험을 통해 간접적 영향을 주는 특징을 나타내었다. 정보검색 단계의 경험은 다음 단계인 구매 경험에 긍정적 영향을 미쳤으며, 구매 단계의 경험은 다시 제품의 재구매 의도로 연결되었다. 그러나 온라인 구매 채널별 소집단 분석을 통해 구매 채널의 선택에 따라서 구매 경험보다 정보검색 경험이 제품 재구매 의도에 영향을 주는 요인이 될 수 있음도 확인하였다.

Purpose - Current study aimed at investigating customer experience types (gain vs. loss avoidance performance experience and hedonic vs. reliability imagery experience) and their influences on satisfaction and positive emotion as antecedents of customer engagement. It also explored moderation role of regulatory focus in the influence of each experience type on satisfaction and positive emotion. Research design, data, and methodology - 416 Vietnamese local tourists were selected to test hypotheses by structural equation model in AMOS 21.0. Results - First, customers actually achieving gain or avoiding loss are more satisfied. Second, customers with hedonic and reliability imagery experience feel more positive emotion. Third, both positive emotion and satisfaction have positive influences on customer engagement. Last, regulatory focus moderates the positive effects of either gain or loss avoidance performance experience on satisfaction and also moderates the positive effects of either hedonic or reliability imagery experience on positive emotion. Conclusions - Focusing on both cognitive satisfaction and affective emotion resulted from experience, this study could advance customer engagement theory. Managerially, brand managers should induce gain performance and hedonic imagery experience (loss avoidance performance and reliability imagery experience) from promotion (prevention)-focused customers to enhance their engagement.
