The purpose of this study is to search the characteristics and strategy of sales promotion in on-line fashion SOHO (Small Office Home Office) shopping malls. 87 of these shopping malls have been selected through a ranking service called 100HOT (http://www.100hot.co.kr), and 906 cases of sales promotion activities have been executed on web-sites of these shopping malls. The cases have been analyzed by descriptive statistics and chi-square analysis. The results are as follows: First, on-line fashion SOHO shopping malls have frequently used sales promotion tactics such as demonstration, display, viral marketing, sale, event, customer compensation, community marketing, experimental marketing, coupon, premium, reserve fund and delivery service. Second, there are significant differences between shopping malls for men and women in sales promotion tactics such as demonstration, viral marketing, sale, and community marketing, but there is no significant difference in tactics such as demonstration, event, and customer compensation. Third, the shopping malls have used various sales promotion strategies such as maximizing the sales, characterizing product features, procuring new customers, preserving existing customers, enhancing customer loyalty, improving customer relationship and controlling returns.

In this study, the effect of Internet clothing soho mall attributes on attitude toward site and revisit intention was investigated. A total of 292 female college students participated in the experiment to explore a clothing soho mall out of 20 highly-ranked soho malls for shopping and to complete a questionnaire. In exploratory factor analysis results, five factors were generated out of 18 question items indicating clothing soho mall attributes. Among those five factors, 'product assortment and presentation' was the most important factor affecting attitude toward site and revisit intention toward a clothing soho mall. In addition, 'site construct' was another factor affecting attitude toward a clothing soho mall site specifically in the group who shops clothing more often on the Internet shops than off-line shops. Based on study results, implications and insights were discussed.
