Mobile Grocery Shopping (MGS) has become the New Normal as the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way consumers shop. Drawing on the framework of Customer Journey Map (CJM), this study explores consumers' MGS by identifying specific stages of Customer Journey and comparing consumers' satisfaction between PC-based online and mobile shopping experiences at each stage throughout the journey. This study collected 562 responses from subjects who have mobile and PC-based grocery shopping experiences at the major domestic e-Commerce platforms. Independent t-test analysis showed that differences in satisfaction between mobile and online shopping experiences exist in 5 main stages and 16 sub-stages of CJM. The results of service and technological innovation mentioned in the actual industry report were seen as empirical results leading to continued use of MGS as well as customer satisfaction. The findings of this study contribute to the research stream on Customer Journey by adopting the structure of CJM and analyzing specific stages of the journey in the context of MGS. Managerial implications for mobile-based business practitioners are also discussed.

This study aimed to provide fundamental insights into the digital customer experience by identifying its components and analyzing their importance and satisfaction levels among youths. To achieve this objective, the components of digital customer experience were identified through a review of prior research and consultation with experts. Subsequently, a survey was conducted with 200 youths in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do. The main findings of the study are as follows: First, The components of the digital customer experience consisted of 12 items grouped into three categories. Second, an analysis of the disparity between the importance and satisfaction levels of digital customer experience revealed statistically significant differences across all items. Third, By utilizing IPA (Importance-Performance Analysis), the digital customer experience was categorized into four quadrant, each with its own characteristics and recommendations for management: The first quadrant, the "current level maintenance area," encompassed items related to "entertainment" and "recommended service." This area is currently functioning well but necessitates continuous attention and management. The second quadrant, the "area to be supported first," included items such as "personalization," "security," "inducing participation," "privacy," and "individuality expression." Intensive management and improvements are imperative in this quadrant. The third quadrant, the "long-term improvement area," consisted of items like 'consistency,' 'information quality,' and 'convenience.' These items require focus on long-term enhancement efforts. The fourth quadrant, the "areas where efforts have already been invested," encompassed items like 'accessibility' and 'deliberation.' It appears that excessive investment has been made in these areas relative to their importance, calling for selective investments while considering the specific issues associated with each factor. These research findings serve as essential data for managing the digital customer experiences of youths.

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.

This qualitative study explores the impact of online food delivery platform attributes on customer satisfaction and repurchase intentions. Employing a phenomenological approach, we conducted in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with 15 participants to gain rich insights into user experiences. Thematic analysis revealed key factors influencing satisfaction and loyalty: service quality dimensions (efficiency, reliability, fulfillment, privacy), expectation disconfirmation, perceived usefulness and ease of use, multi-level customer value, relationship quality, electronic word-of-mouth, value co-creation, and phased loyalty formation. Our findings extend customer behavior theory in digital platforms, offering a comprehensive framework for understanding the complex mechanisms underlying user satisfaction and repurchase decisions. The study provides valuable implications for platform operators, highlighting the importance of exceeding customer expectations, enhancing user experience, building trust, leveraging user-generated content, and fostering co-creation processes. Methodologically, we demonstrate the efficacy of qualitative approaches in uncovering nuanced insights in digital service contexts. While acknowledging limitations in generalizability, this research establishes a solid foundation for future investigations into the rapidly evolving domain of online food delivery services. The integrated theoretical approach offers a robust model for analyzing customer behavior in emerging digital service environments, contributing significantly to both academic understanding and practical application in the field of digital service provision and platform management.

One of the most considerate phenomena of the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution is the use of digital devices. Digitalization is rapidly advancing through all areas of industry and life. Customer journey with digitalization is looking totally different from previous customer journey. The research targets were users of fashion, automobiles, cosmetics and online shopping malls. We analyzed 300 people for each valid questionnaire. The results of the study are as follows. First, it has been proven that digital experience affects positive (+) impact on purchasing intention and positive (+) impact on recommending intention and negative impact (-) on switching intent and subsequently affects positive impact (+) to purchase and incase of switching intent, negative impact (-) to purchase. Unlike traditional methods such as SPC(Service Profit Chain), the Digital experience to Purchase process Chain (DPC) has been identified to be suitable in the digital age. Second, the digital satisfied group (5 score-very satisfaction) has shown same result as above. However the digital neutral group (even though 4 score- satisfaction in five-point scale), specially in a highly competitive industry, has different from the satisfied group and 3 score-normal is same as dissatisfied group. It means that this group is that If there is a high level of attractiveness of substitute goods, there is a high possibility of switching them. It has supported Jones and Sasser [1995] that there have been two types of loyalty of true long-term loyalty and what we call false loyalty in the highly competitive industry zone which is commoditization or low differentiation, many substitutes, low cost of switching. Identifying true loyalty and false loyalty is crucial to establishing a customer experience strategy. it is necessary to actively utilize long-term digital experiences strategy to increase the total satisfaction of digital experience through all of customer purchasing journey in order to enhance the digital customer experience. It is difficult to see the effect as a one-time event. It should be scaled over the entire customer purchase process over a long period of time, which can positively affect purchase intention, recommendation intention, and conversion intention. This is also why it is difficult for second-runners to overtake first-runners in a short period.

4차 산업혁명시대를 살고 있는 고객들은 구매 깔때기 안에 있는 것이 아니라 밖으로 나오기 시작했다. 풍부한 정보로 무장한 현명한 고객의 등장과 맞물려 제품 선택의 폭과 디지털 채널의 폭발적인 증가로 인해 정보를 탐색하고 구매하는 방식이 혁신적으로 변화되고 있는 것이다. 디지털 시대의 고객여정은 전통적인 깔때기 모형이 제시하는것보다 훨씬 복잡하게 되었다. 그래서 직선형이 아닌 다양한 상호작용을 하는 비선형적인 정교한 접근이 요구되어지고 있다. 기존의 많은 연구와 달리 본 연구는 패션, 자동차, 화장품, 온라인 쇼핑몰의 4개 상품군 이용고객 1,200을 대상으로 진행된 것으로 상품군에 상관없이 일반적으로 적용할 수 있는 디지털고객경험 속성을 도출하고 검정하였다. 디지털경험이 고객만족에 영향을 미치며, 최종적으로 구매에 영향을 미치는 일련의 과정 속에서 디지털 자기효능감이 구매에 어떠한 역할을 하는지를 규명하였다. 이론적 시사점으로는 디지털 자기 효능감을 조절된 매개변수로 도입하여 검정한 결과 고객만족도와 고객 충성도 간 디지털 자기효능감은 조절된 매개역할을 하는 것으로 검정 되었다. 실무적으로는 디지털 자기효능감이 높은 고객에게 디지털 마케팅을 적극적으로 활용할 필요가 있고다, 그러나 디지털 자기 효능감이 낮은 고객에게는 디지털 마케팅 피로도를 조심해야 할 필요가 있다는 시사점을 도출하였다.

This study examines whether experiential factors of virtual reality (VR) stores influence consumers' perceived amount of information and satisfaction, which in turn influences revisit intention. This also study examines whether the experiential factors differ as a function of an individual characteristic such as environmental responsiveness. Female consumers who had an experience in using VR technology for digital shopping participated in the online survey. The results showed that educational, escapist and aesthetic experiences have a significant impact on the perceived amount of information, and entertainment and escapist experiences have a significant impact on satisfaction. In addition, the perceived amount of information has a positive effect on customer satisfaction, which in turn has a positive effect on revisit intention. There is also a difference in the effect of experiential factors on consumer responses depending on the environmental responsiveness. This study provides theoretical suggestions for experiential marketing and presents practical implications for developing marketing strategies for digital retailers utilizing VR technology.
