The purposes of this study were to provide the apparel companies with a effective marketing strategy by identifying the present condition of loyalty programs and designing the type of reward and the timing of reward, and to investigate the effects of loyalty programs on customers' satisfaction and loyalty. The experimental study was conducted to examine the relationship between loyalty programs and performances. The experiment, which adopted a scenario methodology, was a 2(type of rewards)${\times}$2(timing of rewards) between subjects factorial design. The sample was based on 362 college students. The data analysis was completed on the basis of SPSS 12.0 package, using descriptive analysis, frequency, factor analysis, Cronbach's a, ANOVA, and regression analysis. The following results were found in this research. First the respondent's recognition of reward(benefit, reserve fund, experience) was not relatively high. Second, the interaction effect of type of rewards and timing of rewards on the loyalty programs' satisfaction(p<.01) and customer loyalty(p<.001) was significant, but that on customer satisfaction was not significant. Finally, loyalty programs' satisfaction positively affected customer satisfaction and loyalty. The implications of the research and directions for future researchers were discussed.

The purpose of the study was to investigate customer loyalty programs of diverse types of retailers. As offline retailers, department store and discount store retailers were examined, and as nonstore retailers, online store and TV home shopping retailers were investigated. Types of customer loyalty programs were analyzed based on Dowling and Uncles'(1997) loyalty program framework which included two schemes, types of reward(direct versus indirect rewards) and timing of reward(immediate versus delayed rewards). The study found that different types of retailers utilized different types of loyalty programs: Department store used all the type of rewards, discount store focused on direct/immediate rewards, online store retailers used direct/delayed rewards and/or direct/immediate rewards, and TV home shopping retailers focused on direct/delayed rewards. The study provided diverse managerial and academic implications.

보상프로그램에 관한 기존 연구들은 프로그램에 대한 소비자의 지각된 가치가 높을수록 브랜드충성도가 증가할 것이라는 가정 하에, 소비자가 가장 선호하는 보상프로그램을 설계하는 데 초점을 맞추어왔다. 또한 이들은 연구대상으로 인터넷쇼핑몰보다는 주로 오프라인 매장을 사용하였다. 이는 인터넷쇼핑 상황에서 보상프로그램에 대한 소비자의 가치인식이 브랜드충성도에 미치는 효과가 실제로 유의한지 그렇다면 어떠한 경로를 통해 영향을 미치는 지에 대한 연구가 미흡함을 의미한다. 한편, 소비자는 인터넷쇼핑몰을 이용할 때 필요한 물건을 구매하고자 하는 실용적 동기와 쇼핑 그 자체를 즐기고자 하는 쾌락적 동기를 가지게 되며, 인터넷쇼핑몰은 소비자들의 이러한 양면적 동기를 충족시킬 수 있는 가치(실용적 또는 쾌락적 가치)있는 경험들을 제공함으로써 브랜드충성도를 증가시킬 수 있다. 이는 인터넷쇼핑몰이 제공하는 보상의 유형이 실용적인지, 쾌락적 인지에 따라 다른 유형의 쇼핑 가치를 강화함으로써 브랜드충성도에 영향을 미치는 경로가 달라질 수 있음을 의미한다. 따라서 본 연구는 다음과 같은 세 가지 목적을 가지고 수행되었다. 첫째, 인터넷쇼핑 상황에서의 보상프로그램이 오프라인 쇼핑상황에서와 동일하게 브랜드충성도를 제고하는데 효과적인지 알아보고자 하였다. 둘째, 기존 연구에서 고려하지 않은 "보상프로그램 가치인식 → 브랜드신뢰, 브랜드감정 → 브랜드충성도" 경로를 추가한 연구모형을 제안하고 분석함으로써, 보상프로그램 가치인식이 브랜드충성도에 미치는 또 다른 경로가 있음을 보이고자 하였다. 마지막으로, 보상의 유형(실용적 vs. 쾌락적)에 따라 "보상프로그램 가치인식 → 브랜드신뢰, 브랜드감정 → 브랜드충성도" 관계가 조절될 수 있는지 확인하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 문헌연구를 통해 10개의 가설 및 연구모형을 도출하였으며, 20대 남녀220명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 데이터를 수집한 후, 구조방정식모델을 이용해 가설들을 검정함으로써 다음과 같은 시사점들을 제공하였다. 먼저, 본 연구는 오프라인 매장을 중심으로 연구되어온 브랜드충성도에 대한 보상프로그램의 효과가 인터넷쇼핑 상황에서도 유의함을 보여줌으로써 인터넷쇼핑몰이 보상프로그램을 운영해야 할 논리적 근거를 마련해주고 있다. 하지만 기존 연구를 통해 확인된 "보상프로그램 가치인식 → 프로그램 충성도 → 브랜드충성도"의 경로가 인터넷쇼핑 상황에서는 유의하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 반면 "보상프로그램 가치인식 → 브랜드신뢰, 브랜드감정 → 브랜드충성도"의 경로가 유의하게 나타나 인터넷쇼핑몰이 제공하는 보상프로그램에 대한 가치인식은 오프라인 매장과는 다른 경로를 통해 브랜드충성도에 영향을 미치고 있음을 알 수 있다. 한편, 인터넷쇼핑몰이 제공하는 보상프로그램에 대한 가치인식이 브랜드 신뢰에 미치는 영향은 쾌락적 보상보다는 실용적 보상이 더 크게 나타난 반면, (통계적으로 유의하지는 않았지만) 보상프로그램에 대한 가치인식이 브랜드감정에 미치는 영향은 실용적 보상 보다는 쾌락적 보상이 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 이는 해당 인터넷쇼핑몰을 이용할 때 소비자가 상대적으로 더 추구하는 가치의 유형(실용적 vs. 쾌락적)을 파악하여 이를 강화할 수 있는 유형의 보상을 제공하거나 소비자가 스스로 보상의 유형을 선택할 수 있는 권한을 부여할 경우, 브랜드신뢰와 브랜드감정을 효과적으로 증가시켜 브랜드충성도를 제고할 수 있음을 말해준다.

Coalition loyalty programs, loyalty cash-back programs that enable their members to accrue and redeem points at a wide-range of affiliated outlets, are emerging. In a coalition loyalty program, unlike in a single-brand loyalty program, points accrued from one outlet can be redeemed in other outlets which even may be of other brands than the very one where the points were from. However, in spite of such systematic characteristic of coalition loyalty programs, there is only little research on the effect of the program. The present study is aimed at examining the difference between the effects of a coalition and a single-brand loyalty program in terms of acquisition and retention of customers and tries to provide strategic implications for a firm to run a loyalty program. We classify purchase conditions into two types-acquisition vs. retention. Then we compare the effects of a coalition and a single-brand loyalty program on the purchase intention, under both the acquisition and the retention conditions. The result shows that the effect of the coalition loyalty program is stronger than that of the single-brand loyalty program under the acquisition condition. On the other hands, the single-brand loyalty program is more effective than the coalition loyalty program under the retention condition, at least for the minor brand.

Loyalty programs are used by many fashion firms as marketing tools for reducing customer switching and increasing customer loyalty in keen market competition conditions. The purpose of this study is to explore and propose an effective implementation of a loyalty program for a targeted fashion firm's customers by grasping their perceived value of and satisfaction with the loyalty program. Questionnaires were administered to 329 college students in Gwangju. For data analysis, factor analysis, Chronbach's ${\alpha}$, correlation analysis, and a Structural Equation Model using the LISREL 8.30 program were applied. The results were as follows. First, the degree of perceived value of the loyalty program was classified according to cash value, convenience of use, aspirational value, and suitability of use. The aspirational value and cash value significantly affected the students' satisfaction with the loyalty program, but the convenience of use and suitability of use were not significant. Second, higher satisfaction with the loyalty program was related to higher overall customer satisfaction but did not affect customer trust and loyalty. Finally, higher overall satisfaction was related to customer trust but did not affect customer loyalty, and higher trust affected customer loyalty.

Purpose - Loyalty programs enable retailers to maintain longer and better customer relationships. In successful services, customers actively use and value these programs. As the proximity to the goal (goal gradient) might signal active participation, this study empirically examines customer's goal gradient behavior in a multi-vendor loyalty program. We also consider the effect of customer's accrual diversity on goal gradients, which is a differentiating feature in a multi-vendor loyalty program, and is further examined. Research Design, Data, and Methodology - The data consists of6,646 OK Cashbag members' individual transaction records from 2006 to 2009. The goal gradient hypothesis was tested as an increase in both the speed and the amount of accumulated award points. Result - The findings suggest that the goal gradient is also observed in a multi-vendor loyalty program, occurring more strongly among members with high accrual diversity. Conclusions - The results indicate that customers with high accrual diversity attend strongly to goal gradients in multi-vendor loyalty programs; hence, it is important for such program managers to better inform members about affiliated partners.

With development of the internet, internet shopping is taking its place as one of digitalization industries transcending time and space beyond the scope of commercial activities as the means of goods sales and purchase. We studied about the relations of customer value, environment of internet shopping mall, customer satisfaction and loyalty. Customer value is customers' subjective evaluation, which is formed after their purchasing and consuming. Customer satisfaction can be characterized as post-purchase evaluation of product quality given pre-purchase expectations. Customer loyalty is a potentiality or ensure of durative relationship between customer and enterprises. Customer satisfaction functions as an antecedent of customer loyalty, while customer value does customer satisfaction. It prevents customer churn and consolidates retention, thereby constituting an important cause of customer loyalty. This study shows that customer value, environment of internet shopping mall and customer satisfaction are each found to have a direct effect on customer loyalty. The results provide empirical support for relation between customer satisfaction and loyalty. To increase customer satisfaction and customer loyalty in internet shopping mall is the primary purpose of this study. We believe that only high quality based customer programs accompanied by well designed loyalty programs can be effective in increasing customer retention.
