서울시내 거주의 20대에서 40대 남녀 104명을 대상으로 시판 약주 10종에 대해 브랜드 친밀도를 조사하고, 브랜드정보 비노출 및 노출시의 소비자 기호도와 구매의사 정도를 파악하였다. 브랜드 친밀도 조사에서는 'baekse' 제품이 가장 높은 브랜드 친밀도를 나타내었고 다음으로 'cheongo', 'chrys', 'sooguk' 제품이 60% 이상이 "들어본 적 있다" 이상으로 응답하여 중간 정도의 인지도를 나타냈다. 그 외의 제품은 인지도가 매우 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 제품의 브랜드와 제조사 정보가 제공된 상태에서 평가가 이루어질 경우 전반적으로 브랜드 친밀도가 높은 제품에서 유의적인 점수 상승으로 나타났다. 브랜드 인지도가 낮은 제품의 경우 브랜드 노출여부가 평가에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 또한 전반적인 약주제품의 기호도가 낮게 나타난 점을 감안하여 향후 약주 관련 제품의 기호도 제고를 위한 제품 최적화 연구 및 브랜드 인지도 개선이 필요한 것으로 여겨진다.

Expanding upon Zhang and Kim's (2013) study involving Chinese consumers, this study investigated key factors that influence U.S. consumers' attitude towards purchasing luxury fashion goods and purchase intent and examined what similarities and differences exist between the two consumer groups in relation to the key factors. A total of 414 respondents completed the online survey questionnaire. Structural Equation Modeling was utilized to analyze data. Brand consciousness, materialism, fashion innovativeness, and fashion involvement were significant factors that affect U.S. consumers' attitude towards luxury fashion goods. Overall, the findings of the current study were greatly inconsistent with Zhang and Kim's Chinese study. The inconsistency provides vital implications to luxury fashion retailers by showing that one size does not fit all and one strategy does not fit all markets.

The purpose of this study is to address marketing strategies for the brand extension of university-licensed merchandise by investigating influences on intent to purchase a new university-licensed merchandise line, tartan. A survey questionnaire was developed and administered online to the major target market for university-licensed merchandise. Four hundred and fifty students and alumni from a US Midwestern university completed the survey. Respondents were asked to answer questions on university identification, perceived university prestige, perceived value of the university-licensed merchandise, intent to purchase a brand extension in university-licensed merchandise, and demographics. It was hypothesized that university identification (H1) and perceived university prestige (H2) are positively related to the perceived value of the university-licensed merchandise and that perceived value of the university-licensed merchandise is positively related to intent to purchase a brand extension in university-licensed merchandise (H3). The difference between students and alumni was also tested. Consumers with high university identification and high perceived university prestige highly valued the university-licensed merchandise. Consumers who perceived a high value of the current university-licensed merchandise displayed a strong intent to purchase a brand extension in university-licensed merchandise. There was no structural difference between the two groups. The study builds on existing research on the influences of attitudes toward the university and university-licensed merchandise on purchasing university-licensed merchandise, specifically investigating intent to purchase a brand extension in university-licensed merchandise. This study also extends previous brand-extension research into university-licensed merchandise.

대학생은 소득활동을 준비하는 잠재적인 소득계층으로 매우 중요한 미래의 주된 소비자이다. 본 연구는 대학생 소비자의 인삼 관련 소비문화의 현황을 파악하고 앞으로 인삼 제품과 서비스의 확대를 위하여 그들의 인삼 제품에 대한 태도를 알아보고, 구매현황 및 만족도, 그리고 구매의도를 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 통하여 구매의도에 영향을 미치는 관련 변수의 상대적 영향력을 살펴보았다. 그 결과, 대학생 소비자의 인삼 제품 구매의도에 영향을 미치는 변수는 인삼에 대한 신뢰성, 경제성, 구매 경험, 주관적 관심도, 월평균 소득(아르바이트 포함), 월평균 용돈, 인삼에 대한 자부심, 그리고 연령 등의 순으로 나타났다. 이 중에서 대부분의 변수가 정(+)의 영향을 미쳤으나, 월평균 소득, 월평균 용돈, 연령은 부(-)의 영향을 미쳤다. 즉, 인삼에 대한 신뢰성, 경제성, 자부심이 높을수록 구매의도가 높았으며, 구매 경험이 많을수록, 인삼에 대한 주관적 관심도가 높을수록 구매의도 역시 높았으나, 연령, 월평균 용돈, 소득 등은 높을수록 오히려 구매의도가 낮았다. 대학생의 인삼 제품 소비 촉진을 위해서는 젊은 층을 위한 가격 인하, 질적인 측면에서의 고급화, 그리고 젊은 세대를 위한 제품의 다양화, 떫고 쓴 맛을 거부하는 부정적인 측면을 극복할 수 있는 맛 개선, 그리고 무엇보다 소비자의 관심을 유도할 수 있는 면이 필요하다. 또한, 젊은 층이 편리하고 쉽게 먹을 수 있는 제품 개발과 판매처의 증설 등을 통한 접근성 확대도 필요하다. 최근 젊은 소비자들은 이전에 경험해 보지 못한 새로운 제품, 디자인이나 포장이 독특하여 인증하기 좋은 제품, 과거의 향수를 자극하는 레트로 제품 등에 관심이 많으므로 이러한 관점에서 인삼 제품 소비와 관련된 홍보 및 정보제공을 할 필요가 있다. 소비자의 실용성과 편리성을 고려하고 다양한 생활환경에 맞추어 휴대가 편리한 제품 선호를 반영하며 다른 제품과 시너지 효과를 발휘할 수 있는 개인 소비자의 취향 큐레이션 서비스 등의 고려를 제안한다.

A number of studies in recent years of have begun to look at the connection between country affinity (an interest in and admiration of a particular country) and a desire to buy the products and services of that country. Country affinity has been shown to be particularly important when consumers lack other sources of information about a good or service. However, except for direct questioning, methods to identify the affinity consumers might have for another country are lacking. This study examines the degree to which attending a movie set in a particular country will be related to an affinity for that country and possibly by extension the goods and services of that country. It is not the goal of this study to suggest that movies create the affinity, but rather that that the affinity will exist for viewers of the films. Two films set in Ireland and featuring Irish actors where shown to audiences composed of Korean students and a small number of Korean adults. As a point of comparison, students in two introductory consumer classes were also asked to complete a similar questionnaire. Four affinity factors were identified from a list of 17 items. Those who attended the historical drama showed a greater affinity for Ireland than those who attended the romantic musical. Affinity for Ireland among Koreans was also meaningful in predicting interest in purchasing Irish products.
