For empirical study, experiments by the subjects among students of ewha womans university were done by using jeans as stimulus. Data was collected by a questionnaire made up by a researcher based on the theoretical and pretest. Data was analyzed by ANOVA, factor analysis, grouping analysis, F-test, and etc. 571 data were analysed out of the 600 data. Cues such as price, brand, and store affected significantly the evaluation of jeans. The most important cue of all three was store, then price, and then brand. These three cues affected the evaluation of jean products separately and together. The result of the study was that the consumers characteristics mediated the effects of extrinsic cues like price, brand, and store on jean products evaluation.

Purpose - The ICT(information and communications technologies) development is affecting consumer behaviors on selecting channel or distribution system. This study aims to advance our knowledge about the factors influencing omni-channel behaviors. This study considers the positive brand experience as the moderating variable into the relationship between omini-channel use intention and consumer brand relation. Also, the effect of positive brand experience on consumer-brand relation is researched. Research design, data, and methodology - This study conducted an empirical test with the subject as customers who purchase goods or service through on-off cross channel simultaneously. The research model is developed from prior literatures about influencing variables on channel selection. The structure of this study is designed to identify causal relationships between the variables. 268 survey data from the questionnaire survey which is conducted to target customers who use online and offline channels, is used for empirical analysis. This study validates generality with descriptive statistics and data reliability with Cronbach's alpha value. The exploratory factor analysis is used for value purification. Then, the confirmatory factor analysis is conducted for structural equation modeling. Finally, the execute structural equation modeling is analyzed to confirm the hypotheses Results - First, the two causal influences between perceived performance risk and the propensity of omni-channel and between price consciousness and the propensity of omni-channel are verified through the empirical test. Second, the result identifies that the propensity of omni-channel is influenced on consumer-brand relationship. Third, the AMOS analysis proves that the moderating variable, positive brand experience, has significant positive impact on consumer-brand relationship. This significant relationship is highly supported by the regression analysis between brand experience and propensity of omni-channel because it results that positive brand experience has positive impact on the propensity of omni-channel. All hypotheses are verified to be true. Conclusions - Based on the empirical result, this study confirms that perceived performance risk and price consciousness are the important factors influencing propensity of omni-channel. According to the additional analysis, the moderating variable and positive brand experience plays important role between the propensity of omni-channel and consumer-brand relationship. Furthermore, positive brand experience influences more on consumer-brand relationship than non-positive brand experience.

This study explores the evolving landscape of consumer experiences in the context of pop-up stores, considering the shifts from product economy to service economy and now the experience economy. It investigates the factors influencing consumer word-of-mouth intentions by examining the interplay of pop-up store experiences, brand equity, brand charisma, and verbal intent. Using Schmitt's strategic experience modules and the Aaker brand equity model, the study employs quantitative methods and data analysis to uncover the relationships among these variables. Surprisingly, it finds limited associations between the aspects of the pop-up store experience and brand equity. However, it highlights the direct impact of brand equity on brand charisma, which subsequently influences consumers' intentions to share brand-related information. This research contributes to our understanding of word-of-mouth marketing for pop-up stores, filling a knowledge gap and offering valuable insights for academics and businesses navigating the evolving marketing landscape. It also emphasizes the significance of brand charisma in the context of transient in-store experiences and evolving consumer preferences.

The Chinese fashion market is a fierce battlefield for foreign brands and domestic brands. This research carefully analyzed several effects based on theories related to the country of origin for brands and consumer attitudes. All data were collected by a questionnaire distributed to Chinese consumers who have experienced global fashion brands. Data collection was conducted in March 2011. A total of 382 complete responses were used for the analysis. The results were as follows: First, for Chinese brands, there was a direct consumer ethnocentrism (CET) effect on brand attitudes. Second, CET showed no effect for European brands; however, conspicuous consumption had a significant positive influence. Third, there existed direct effects of CET and economic animosity on brand attitudes for brands from an unfriendly country. There was a positive moderating effect of conspicuous consumption on the association between CET and Japanese brand attitudes; in addition, a negative situation perception aggravates the negative relationship between economic animosity and Japanese brand attitudes. The results of the study can help marketers obtain more specific knowledge of brand attitudes for target consumer groups as well as enable them to plan and implement well-suited strategies for fashion businesses in China.

본 연구는 수입 자동차 브랜드에 관한 인식을 분석함에 있어 소비자-브랜드의 감성관계 진단 방식을 적용하는 것을 요체로 한다. 즉, 수입 명품자동차 브랜드들과 소비자의 관계를 진단하고, 관계성과인 참여의도와의 관계를 살펴보면서 국내 명품시장에서의 감성관계(emotional relationship) 중요성을 파악하고자 했다. 따라서 본 연구는 수입 자동차 브랜드라는 명품브랜드 시장에서 2008년 Top6의 판매고를 올린 BMW, 렉서스, 벤츠, 혼다, 아우디, 폭스바겐 등 6개 브랜드를 대상으로 사랑하는/자아투영적인/상호의존적인/책임감있는/친밀한/경외시하는 등의 항목을 감성관계 평가 구성요인으로, 관계의 성과로서는 참여의도를 3개 항목으로 나누어 설정하였다. 그리고 참여의도와 감성관계 항목간의 회귀분석 결과를 기반으로 명품브랜드와 소비자 간의 감성관계 척도의 타당성을 고려하면서 각 브랜드의 감성관계 차이를 비교 확인하였다. 또한, 본 연구는 수입 자동차 브랜드에 대하여 상대적으로 지식이 많은 집단과 상대적으로 적은 두 집단으로 나누어 지식의 정도에 따른 감성관계 강도에 차이가 난다는 사실을 밝혀냈고, 그 특성을 비교해볼 수 있었다. 이와 같이 본 연구는 소비자-브랜드의 감성관계를 평가해보는 것이 각 브랜드에 적합한 감성 마케팅커뮤니케이션 기획의 기반이 될 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었으며, 동시에 본 연구의 결과가 향후 보다 적극적인 감성관계마케팅 방안의 실증적 토대가 되어줄 수 있다는 데서 그 의의를 찾을 수 있었다.
