사람과 브랜드가 관계를 가질 수 있다는 개념은 '브랜드 관계' 또는 '소비자-브랜드 관계'라는 개념으로 논의되어 왔다. 브랜드 관계의 질이 높으면 해당 기업은 마케팅 비용을 줄일 수 있고, 소비자 보유율을 높일 수 있으며 브랜드 자산을 높임으로써 결과적으로 더 높은 수익을 가져올 수 있다는 점에서 상당히 중요한 연구주제로 다루어져 왔다. 그러나, 이제까지의 연구들은 브랜드관계이론의 적용가능성을 제대로 논의하지 못하고 연구자의 관점에서 소비자와 브랜드 간의 관계사고는 당연시 되는 경향이 있었다. 이러한 점에서 본 논문은 브랜드 의인화의 타당성 및 본 논문은 구체적인 브랜드 유형별 관계전략에 대해 논의하고자 하였는데 그 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 많은 기업들이 그들의 브랜드에 의인화 마케팅전략을 시도하지만 실제, 소비자들은 브랜드를 그렇게 많이 의인화하지 않을 수 있다. 둘째, 의인화의 가능성은 소비자와 브랜드간의 상호작용성이 높고 즐거움을 많이 주는 제품군일수록 더욱 높았으나 브랜드 관계에는 이러한 점이 영향을 미치지 못하였다. 마지막으로 본 논문은 소비자의 브랜드 의인화정도가 높다는 것이 브랜드 관계를 높이는 중요한 요인은 아니었다는 것을 제시하였다.

Consumers' need for uniqueness reflects individual differences in counterconformity and related to the attitude toward brands as well as purchase behavior. To understand the relationship between consumer's personal characteristics and purchase behavior, the study investigated the effect of consumers' need for uniqueness and clothing interest on the brand consciousness, loyalty and purchase intention. Survey was utilized to collect the data and subjects were 271 college students. Measures consisted of five main constructs: Consumer's need for uniqueness, clothing interest, brand consciousness, brand loyalty, and purchase intention. The measurement and structural models were evaluated using PRELIS 2 and LISREL 8.53. Consumer's need for uniqueness was confirmed to have three constructs: creative, unpopular, and avoidance. The researcher tested Model 1 and developed five other models-Models 2 through 6-based on the results from Model 1 evaluation. The additional Models 2 through 6 were nested in Model 1. To select a best model, the researcher compared the value of chi-square, RMSEA, GFI, AIC, and ECVI. Since Model 6 also illustrated conceptually or theoretically reasonable relationships among constructs as well, it was finally selected as a best model. In the Model 6, the creative dimension of consumer's need for uniqueness had a negative relationship with brand loyalty, while the avoidance dimension of consumer's need for uniqueness had positive relationship. The unpopular dimension of consumer's need for uniqueness and clothing interest had significant positive effects on the brand consciousness. The brand consciousness was significantly related to brand loyalty and brand loyalty to purchase intention.

Purpose - This study aims to analyze consumer in the multidimensional aspect of a combination of corporate image and brand personality in order to identify the structural causal relationship between consumer choice and corporate image and brand personality. Design/methodology - This study combined theoretical literature studies with empirical field studies using questionnaire survey methods. To achieve this objective, a hypothetical causal model consisting of three potential variables and nine measurement variables was created based on prior research, and a structural equation model was used to identify the suitability of the model. Findings - The hypothetical model established by this study was judged to be generally appropriate. In particular, corporate image was shown to have significant static direct effects on consumer choice and brand personality. It was also shown that brand personality had a direct static effect on consumer choice, and that corporate image has an indirect significant impact on consumer choice by moderating brand personality. Originality/value - Previous papers have mainly focused on one-dimensional studies of various images, such as companies and brands. However, this paper used a model that analyzed consumer choice through multi-clue information rather than corporate images as the only clue to consumer choice.

Brand equity is the added value endowed by the brand to the product. This concept born in the 1980's has aroused intense interest among market managers and business strategists from a wide variety of industries. Brand equity can be approached in different perspectives according to the motivations and the objectives of the studies. Consumer-based brand equity is examined internally by consumers' cognition and feeling and externally by consume behavior in the market By analyzing the relationship between them we can understand how brand value is made in the mind of consumers and how it is converted into the consumer behavior,. The brand is an especially important extrinsic cue in clothing products and the apparel industry has higher brand equity when it is actually compared with the brand equity of many other industries measured as a financial asset. Therefore the purpose of this study was to find out brand value of clothing products through clothing brand equity and to understand consumer behavior of the brand. And so we focused in consumer-based brand equity. For the empirical study three brands that are predicted to have different level of brand equity were selected based on prices and market shares of the brands. As the result the consumer-based brand equity is composed of emotional and cognitive dimensions and each dimension has several sub-dimensions. These diverse dimensions of brand equity bring about differences in consumers' purchase behavior market share and price premium of brands.

This study uses the moderating model to explore the relationships between Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) associations, brand awareness and consumer purchase intention. Besides investigating the direct effects of CSR associations on brand awareness and consumer purchase intention, this study also focuses on discovering the moderating role of CSR associations on the relationship between brand awareness and consumer purchase intention among Vietnamese students. Adapting scales from previous research, the authors distribute questionnaires to consumers across the country. Then, the validity and reliability are tested via Cronbach's alpha, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Moreover, by employing a meta-analytical path analysis with a sample of 686 consumers, the authors show that CSR associations play an important role in shaping purchase intention among Vietnamese consumers regarding the consumption of organic milk products. Also, CSR associations have a strong effect on brand awareness. However, our study shows that purchase intention is not directly affected by brand awareness. In other words, brand awareness does not mediate the relationship between CSR associations and purchase intention. Interestingly, authors show that CSR associations moderate the link between brand awareness and consumer purchase intention. Based on the research, some recommendations are made to companies that produce organic milk products.

Purpose - The ICT development is affecting the consumer behaviors in selecting channel or distribution system. This study aims to advance the theory on the influence and interaction with omni-channel behaviors. Specifically, analyzing moderating variable is category knowledge that effect between propensity of brand loyalty and its precedence factor which is perceived difference, perceived value, authenticity and consumer-brand relationship. Research design, data, and methodology - The subject of this research is consumers who purchase goods in omni-channel situation. The hypothesis of this research is derived from the literature of the preceding research analysis on brand loyalty, omni-channel and consumer behaviors. This study have constructs that were defined operationally with reference to previous studies, and the research model was designed to figure out the structural relationship among perceived difference, perceived value, authenticity, consumer-brand relationship and brand loyalty. From 2016 Sept. 1 to Dec. 31, a questionnaire survey was performed targeting customers using omni-channel. 327 questionnaire survey had conducted. 316 survey data were used for empirical analysis except data that had missing and wrong value. AMOS(structural equation) was used to confirm the hypothesis which developed by researcher. Results - The results of this study are as follows. First, an authenticity has significant effect on brand loyalty. Second, in the omni-channel situation, but perceived differentiation, perceived value, consumer-brand relationship does not affect brand loyalty. According to this result, it is judged that it is easy to search for information in the situation of omni-channel and integrated decision making is done without distinction between channels. Third, category knowledge has moderating effect between brand loyalty and precedence factors. When the category knowledge level is low, preceding factors have a significant effect on brand loyalty. when the category knowledge level is high, the preceding factors did not have a significant effect on brand loyalty except the authenticity. Conclusions - This study finds out omni-channel's phenomenon is different from other distribution channel phenomenon. In the situation of omni-channel, it is suggested that brand loyalty may be relatively low for a certain brand because it raises the knowledge level of the category. Then this study provides a managerial implications based on the role of the moderate effect on category knowledge, brand loyalty and omni-channel.

It also compared if there were differences on this research model and two groups that selected Korean or foreign country-of-brand-origin in fashion product purchasing. Online survey responses from 414 Korean men in their 20s-30s were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modeling analysis (SEM). Perceptions of advertising expenditures were found to be positively related to brand association in only the group that selected Korean country-of-brand-origin. The results showed a non-significant effect of perceptions for advertising expenditures on perceived product quality in both groups that selected Korean or foreign country-of-brand-origin. The results indicated that celebrity endorsement had a significant effect on brand association for the two male consumer groups. The results also demonstrated that the relationship of celebrity endorsement and perceived quality was significant in only a group that selected Korean country-of-brand-origin. The results also revealed that the effect of brand association and perceived product quality on brand preference was significant in both male consumer groups. This study has useful managerial implications for enhancing the effectiveness of investment in advertising activities.

This study examines the dimensions of brand experience and brand commitment within mass cosmetic brand stores that target female high school students and analyzes the effect of multi-dimension brand experience and brand commitment on brand loyalty. A model linking brand experience to brand commitment and loyalty was tested, using structural equation modeling analysis. A total of 175 female high school students completed the online questionnaire. The current study extended the understandings of the construct of brand commitment by adopting a broadened five-component consumer commitment. The results confirmed that developing brand experience in domestic mass cosmetics brand stores influences consumer loyalty through various types of brand commitment. This study can be beneficial for brand managers by providing guidelines on how to establish consumer loyalty affected by brand experience through brand commitment. Especially, brand managers should consider the negative impacts of forced commitment on consumer loyalty despite brand experience within the stores not influencing teenage consumers' forced commitment toward mass cosmetic brands. The importance of habitual commitment in the relationship between brand experience and loyalty was also revealed. The results can provide a realistic blueprint for consumer brand experience and commitment strategy.

본 연구에서는 패밀리 레스토랑에 있어서 소비자-브랜드 관계의 질이 고객의 브랜드 충성도에 영향 미치는 지를 알아보고자 마산 지역에 위치한 K 대학의 대학생들을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 설문조사내용으로는 인구통계학적 자료, 패밀리 레스토랑 이용실태, 소비자-브랜드 관계의 질 그리고 브랜드 충성도에 관한 문항으로 구성하였다. 2005년 11월 20일부터 24일까지 총 320부의 설문지를 배포하여 272부가 회수되어 85.0%의 회수율을 보였다. 본 조사를 위한 측정도구의 신뢰도 검증 결과 Cronbach's alpha 계수가 0.7이상으로 높은 신뢰도를 나타내었으며 타당도 검증 결과 60%이상의 설명력을 나타내 높은 타당성을 나타내었다. 패밀리 레스토랑의 소비자-브랜드 관계의 질(독립변수)이 브랜드 충성도(종속변수)에 영향 미치는 지분석하기 위하여 다중회귀분석을 실시한 결과 독립변수가 종속변수에 미치는 영향력은 36.1%의 설명력을 보였으며, 소비자-브랜드 관계의 질의 5개 구성 요소(자아연계적 애착, 만족도, 신뢰, 몰입, 친밀감) 중에서 만족도와 친밀감의 2개 구성요소가 유의수준 p<0.01에서 유의적으로 브랜드 충성도에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다. 결론적으로 소비자-브랜드 관계의 질이 강하게 형성될수록 소비자의 브랜드 충성도가 높아지는 것임이 입증되었다 따라서 향후 패밀리레스토랑 운영자들은 궁극적으로 소비자의 브랜드 충성도 형성을 통한 꾸준한 매출과 성장을 위하여서는 기존의 브랜드에 대한 홍보보다는 소비자-브랜드 관계의 질을 강하게 형성할 수 있는 마케팅 전략을 강화하도록 하여야 할 것이다.
