The purpose of this study is to find proper strategies for the reinforcement of brand image in the online insurance retail stores. First, from theoretical backgrounds, I have investigated acquisition effects, strategies for changing brand image, decisions on a product position and product differentiation under various strategic marketing factors based on the reinforcement strategies of brand image. Second, there is a significant difference between corporate/on-line insurance retail store names recalled first and brand names recalled first. Third, in terms of consumers' preferences, there exists a substantial difference between corporate/on-line insurance retail stores and brands. From this study, the following conclusions are drawn. First, on-line insurance retail stores and brand image should be carefully developed and used as a tool to secure competitive advantages. Second, on-line insurance retail stores and brand image should be considered and continuously enhanced as an important asset for the on-line insurance retail stores. As the importance of brands grows, brand management is an essential step for powering brands.

This paper examines the impact of introducing high-speed trains on consumer welfare, taking the ensuing changes in train schedules into account. Based on the estimated demand model for travel which incorporates consumer's heterogeneous preferences for travel schedules into the standard discrete-choice model, I separately evaluate the impact from adding high-speed trains and that from changes in train schedules. The results indicate that consumers who travel between two cities connected by high-speed trains benefit from the introduction of high-speed trains, while some travelers whose choice set does not include high-speed trains face a reduced frequency of non-high-speed trains, resulting in significant losses.

With the increased mobility within nations, relocation has become a frequent and regular occurrence in modern life. However, we know little about how residential mobility affects purchase type. How does residential mobility affect our purchase behavior? This research explores the relationship between residential mobility and preference of purchase type, with psychological processes. The study primed participants with either a high or low mobility mindset to investigate the effect of mobility on consumption style in U.S. and South Korean. The results of the study confirm that the consideration of residential mobility shifts consumers' preferences toward material goods and experiences. In addition, results also indicate that the connection between mobility and purchase type was mediated by autonomy and moderated by cultural factor. Lastly, the theoretical and practical implications are covered.

본 연구는 환경오염물질로부터의 건강위험에 대한 소비자들의 반응을 분석하는 데 중요한 세 가지 요소인 위험인지(perceptions), 자기보호행동(behavior) 그리고 가치평가(valuation)를 체계적으로 분석하고자 시도하였다. 소비자들의 수돗물 음용과 관련한 건강 위해 가능성에 대한 염려와 우려 수준에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 분석하고, 나아가서 건강상 안전한 음용수에 대한 소비자들의 선호를, 정책적으로 논란이 되고 있는 유해물질인 비소를 사례로 조건부행동접근법(contingent behavior method)을 적용하여 측정하였다. 전라북도 지방에 거주하는 500명의 소비자들을 대상으로 한 실증분석의 결과는, 대부분의 응답자들이 수돗물에 잔류된 유해물질로 인한 건강위험에 대해 상당히 우려하고 있었으며, 이러한 우려와 염려의 심각성이 산발적이고 임의적이라기보다는 나이, 성별 그리고 가족수 등 응답자들의 인구통계학적 특성에 따라 이질적이지만 체계적으로 반응하였다. 그리고 이러한 주관적인 위험인식은 또한 안전한 음용수에 대한 구매의도에도 영향을 미쳤다. 아울러 응답자들에게 제시된 객관적 건강위험정보는 단독으로는 영향을 미치지 않았지만, 실제 위험회피행동 여부를 나타내는 변수와의 상호작용이 허용되자 안전한 음용수의 선택에 유의한 영향을 미쳤다. 물론 실제 시장구매상황에서 익숙한 가격의 차이 역시 안전한 음용수에 대한 진술된 선호를 설명하는데 매우 중요한 변수였다. 또한 가상선택에 참여하지 않은 무응답자들을 제외할 경우 표본선택편의의 가능성이 통계적으로 유의하였고, 이러한 표본선택편의는 특히 가격변수의 계수추정치에 영향을 미쳤으며, 결과적으로 건강위험 감소에 대한 지불의사 추정치에도 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

Due to the mass production of housing in Korea, homogeneous current housing may fail to represent residents' preferences, especially for the elderly. The purpose of this study is to identify the preferred properties of consumers for accessible housing and to examine whether cluster analysis can identify groups of residents with similar accessible housing preferences. Using a conjoint method, prospective users can jointly consider all accessible attributes, with cost attributes suggested by this study. Four categories (accessibility, safety, convenience, cost), 7 attributes (clear width, level difference, installation of grab bars, installation of elevators: only for single house type, non slippery floor materials, safety alarms, service control devices, cost) and 2 levels for each attribute were chosen. A total of 374 questionnaires were collected through a questionnaire survey method. This study employed ratings-based Conjoint analysis and the respondents ranked each card, which consisted of a set of accessible housing attributes. The data were analyzed using SPSS 16.0. The findings of this study have identified 3-4 clusters for each housing sub market. Each cluster has a different combination of socio-demographic characteristics and residential characteristics, and showed the relative importance or preference values for each accessible attribute of the segmentation. For the single housing, one group of people strongly preferred installation of elevator. The results suggested that better customization of housing could be more appealing to the different clusters of residents, providing accessible housing with cost limitations.

The purpose of this study is to develop high-valued added socks by utilizing consumer design preference research in design. The study was performed by investigating literatures including previous studies, and researching the recognition and design preference of consumers. As a final step, socks designs were developed to reflect the results of the research. Gender differences have been found in the choice of socks. Women put more importance to the design, color and trend and prefer geometric, animals and plants patterns, and unique images compared to men. In terms of fashion interest level, 'high' group preferred design, color, and trend than 'middle' and 'low' group, and also preferred geometric, abstract patterns. Women's and unisex socks were designed for people in their 20s, the age group with the highest level of interest in fashion, after taking results of the consumer design preference research into account. Main themes for the lady's socks are 'Soft Shape' and 'Line Composition' in order to express delicate, soft sensibility. For the unisex socks, 'Daydreamer' and 'Free Zone' are the themes used to express young energy and the sense of freedom. 12 styles were developed by creating 3 styles per theme using Photoshop CS5 and Illustrator CS5 programs. As a result, it is confirmed that design strategies in segmented market are necessary for the high-valued added products. Also, the understanding of changes in consumer's tastes and needs through regular market research is needed for the competitive socks design planning.

본 연구는 동서양 문물 이미지 사진에 대한 여대생의 선호도와 패션잡지에서 의류광고 사진에 등장한 모델의 동서양 국적에 따른 소비자의 긍정적/부정적 인식 정도의 영향을 조사하고자 하였다. 100명의 여학생이 설문에 응답해 주었으며 20개 사진이 자극물로 제시되었다. 자극물은 주택, 실내, 식품, 미인도, 음료수로 하고, 패션 광고사진으로는 남성복 정장, 여성복 정장, 여성복캐주얼, 여성복 속옷, 여성손목시계 등으로 하여 동서양 모델 사진을 각 1점씩 선택하였다. 여대생들은 간식과 미인도에서는 서양이미지보다 동양이미지를 선호하였으나, 패션잡지의 의류광고 사진의 광고에는 모든 경우에서 서양모델이 사용된 경우에 긍정적인 인식정도를 나타냈다. 이러한 사실로서 여대생의 서양이미지에 대한 인식은 긍정적이며 이것은 의류제품 브랜드의 소비자 선호도에 영향을 미칠 것을 추측할 수 있었다.

본 논문은 지상파DMB와 위성DMB 두 서비스 간의 비교 분석을 통해 소비자 수용도에 있어서 어떠한 차이가 있는지 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 소비자 설문조사를 실시하였고, 소비자들을 지상파DMB와 위성DMB 선호유형에 따라 비선호집단, 지상파DMB선호집단, 위성DMB선호집단, 듀얼형 선호집단 등 네 가지 유형으로 분류하여 이들 세분집단별로 소비자 특성에 있어서 어떠한 차이가 있는지 분석하였다. 분석결과 첫째, 집단별 비율에 있어서 비선호집단(60.4%)이 가장 높게 나타났으며, 그 다음으로는 듀얼형 선호집단(18.5%)이었는데 이러한 사실은 양쪽 서비스 모두를 함께 이용할 수 있는 듀얼형 서비스의 필요성을 제기하고 있다. 둘째, 인구통계학적 특성에 있어서는 특히 소득이 높을수록 위성DMB를, 중산층일수록 지상파DMB를 선호하고, 저소득층은 DMB에 대한 관심이 낮은 것으로 분석되었다. 셋째, DMB 선호유형별 기존 통신방송 이용에 있어서의 차이를 알아본 결과 케이블TV 이용자는 지상파DMB를 선호하고 위성TV 이용자는 위성DMB를 상대적으로 더 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, DMB 선호유형별 라이프스타일 특성을 알아본 결과 대체로 위성DMB는 혁신형 고객이 선호하고 지상파DMB는 실속형 고객이 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로, DMB 선호유형별로 DMB에 대한 태도를 알아본 결과 대체로 위성DMB 선호자들이 DMB에 대해 가장 긍정적인 태도를 갖고 있는 것으로 분석되었다.

This study investigated consumer's fragrance preferences as well as image, color, and TPO associations with fragrance. Eight branded perfumes of four fragrance families were selected according to the top note (floral, fruity, green, and citrus) as stimuli; consequently, fragrance preferences and associations were measured. A survey that included a scent test was conducted; subsequently, 186 responses from male and female consumers in their twenties were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent sample t-test, paired t-test, and chi-square analysis. The fruity fragrance was shown to be preferred the most. The perfume itself was associated with cool image, blue or pale tone colors, summer, and casual occasions in general, while a citrus fragrance was related to warm, winter, and deep tone colors in specific. Fragrance associations could be utilized in perfume marketing plans and activities such as advertising and packaging development.
