The proliferation of the Internet and related technologies has led to a new form of distribution channels, namely online retailers. The conventional offline and the new online retailers have different transaction costs perceived by the consumers in the following perspectives: the accessibility to the product information, the traffic cost and the opportunity cost for the time to visit the store, the delivery time and the possibility of 'touch and feel' to test the quality of the product. In particular, the online retailers have lower distribution cost structure in that they do not have physical stores, which results in lower selling price. Thus they continuously offer price competition against offline retailers using the lower selling cost as competitive weapon. Moreover the emergence of the social commerce is likely to intensify the competition between the online and offline retailers. To survive in this fierce competition, the offline retailers are trying to defend their business interests by sticking to offline transaction in anticipation of increased customer loyalty, customer's preference for 'touch and feel' style shopping, and others. Despite of these efforts, customers who touch and feel a product in an offline store but purchase the product through an online retailer are increasing. To protect such customers, recently, some of the offline retailers began to provide the mobile discount service (MDS) which enables the offline customers to purchase a product at a discounted price through the mobile applications. In business competitions, the price discount strategy is usually considered to secure more market share at the cost of lower profit. In this study, however, we analyze the effect of MDS as a weapon for securing more profit. To do this, we set up a game model between the online and offline retailers which incorporates the effect of the MDS. By numerically analyzing the Nash equilibrium of the game, some managerial implications for using the MDS for more profit are discussed.

온라인 판매가 무서운 성장세를 보여주고 있음에도 불구하고, 소비자 채널 전환행동 영역에서 오프라인 밴드왜건이 여전히 많은 주목을 받고 있다. 소비자의 오프라인에서 온라인 소매업자로의 전환행동을 탐색하는 기존연구와 달리, 본 연구는 push-pull-mooring 모델을 기반으로 소비자가 온라인에서 오프라인 채널로 전환하는 이유와 시점에 중점을 두어 살펴본다. 따라서, 본 연구는 구조방정식 모델과 SPSS를 이용하여 설립된 연구가설을 검증하였다. 그 결과는 예상대로 push 요인(지각된 위험과 불만족)과 pull 요인(대안매력과 지각된 주인의식)이 모두 소비자의 온라인에서 오프라인 채널로의 전환의도에 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, push 요인과 전환비용간의 상호작용 및 pull 요인과 주관적 규범간의 상호작용을 제외하고, 모든 push 요인과 mooring 요인(전환비용, 다양성 추구 성향과 주관적 규범)간의 상호작용 및 pull 요인과 mooring 요인간의 상호작용이 검증되었다. 마지막으로 시사점과 한계점을 더불어 제시하였다.

Keyword advertising has been used as a promotion tool rather than the advertising itself to online retailers. This is because the online retailer expects the direct sales increase when they deploy the keyword sponsorship. In practice, many online sellers rely on keyword advertising to promote their sales in short term with limited budget. Most of the previous researches use direct revenue factors as dependent variables such as CTR (click through rate) and CVI (conversion per impression) in their researches on the keyword advertising[14, 16, 22, 25, 31, 32]. Previous studies were, however, conducted in the context of aggregate-level due to the limitations on the data availability. These researches cannot evaluate the performance of keyword advertising in the individual level. To overcome these limitations, our research focuses on conversion of keyword advertising in individual-level. Also, we consider manageable factors as independent variables in terms of online retailers (the costs of keyword by implementation methods and meanings of keyword). In our study we developed the keyword advertising conversion model in the individual-level. With our model, we can make some theoretical findings and managerial implications. Practically, in the case of a fixed cost plan, an increase of the number of clicks is revealed as an effective way. However, higher average CPC is not significantly effective in increasing probability of purchase conversion. When this type (fixed cost plan) of implementation could not generate a lot of clicks, it cannot significantly increase the probability of purchase choice. Theoretically, we consider the promotional attributes which influence consumer purchase behavior and conduct individuals-level research based on the actual data. Limitations and future direction of the study are discussed.

The study aims to identify Service Quality factors that affect purchase decision on Click and Collect service through the mediating variable of customer emotions at Mobile World stores in Ho Chi Minh City. This study employs a mixed methods research design. Data were collected through online self-completion questionnaire distributed to 316 customers who used to experience Click and Collect service at the Mobile World stores in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The theoretical model was tested through two-stage regression analysis (PATH model). The findings show that factors of service quality such as Reliability, Responsiveness, Assurance, Empathy, Tangibility, and Emotions affect the decision to purchase online and receive products directly at Mobile World stores in Ho Chi Minh City. Responsiveness and Assurance have a significant positive impact on the customer's emotions. Consequently, these factors should be considered and addressed when conducting multi-channel services. Obviously, employees must first be trained to be able to deliver the promise of the retailer to their customers. Based on the results of the study, the authors provide managerial implications for retailers in Vietnam in the multi-channel retail environment to develop Click and Collect at retail stores across the country and the world.

Despite the growing online exposure of retailes, offline retail channels still outperform online channels in the total retail volume of some countries. There is much interest in the physical layout plans of retail stores to expand sales. Product placement that have a large impact on customer purchasing behavior at offline retailers influences customer movement and sales volume. But in many cases, each retailer relies on unsystematic and autonomous product placement. When multiple products are sold with one purchase, the customer's movement for shopping may be evaluated in terms of customer efficiency and additional impulse purchase. In this paper, the social network is applied to sales data of a retail store and the result is used for evaluation of product placement and customer path. The frequent sales product composition was identified using k-core from sales data in the form of shopping baskets. The location was checked for the identified compositions of products, the spatial variance was measured and the customer's path was identified. With these results, the store arrangement of products was evaluated with appropriate improvement directions. The analysis method of this paper can be an alternative analysis approach for better layout of retail stores.

Purpose: This paper aims to investigate the influence of different methods of distributing sweepstakes (i.e., whether consumers choose to enter into the sweepstakes themselves or they are given the sweepstake ticket by default) on the effectiveness of the sweepstakes promotion (i.e., interest in the sweepstakes and intention to participate in the sweepstakes). Research design, data and methodology: The paper verifies this effect through three experimental studies: an online experiment using a sweepstakes promotion scenario at a department store, an online SNS sweepstakes promotion event, and a face-to-face card lottery game. Results: Participants belonging the group that chose sweepstakes tickets by themselves showed higher interest and intention to participate in the sweepstakes than those who were given the sweepstakes ticket by default. Furthermore, the group that chose the sweepstakes card thought it had a higher probability of winning than the group given the sweepstakes card. Conclusions: This paper shows a way to enhance the promotional effect of sweepstakes in the retail stores, without incurring additional costs, by approaching from sweepstakes design from the psychological perspective of the consumer. The study also sheds new light on the effect of sense of control manipulation using choice behavior in the promotional context.

In this paper, we deal with an inventory model of a multi-stage, serial supply chain system where a single product type and nonstationary customer demand pattern are considered. The retailer and suppliers place their orders according to an echelon-stock based replenishment control policy. We assume that the suppliers can access online information on the demand history and use this information when making their replenishment decisions. Using a reinforcement learning technique, the inventory control parameters are designed to adaptively change as the customer demand pattern is altered, in order to maintain a given target service level. Through a simulation based experiment, we verified that our approach is good for maintaining the target service level.

This paper seeks to suggest user satisfaction model of digital signage to see how new in-store technology can effectively lead to customers' shopping satisfaction in fashion retails. Authors in particular focus on technological complexity, which is expected to serve a subtle role in using digital signage. This study employed a scenario-based online survey. Interactive digital signage with virtual try-on and video-captures functions was used as stimuli. Data were collected from 320 respondents and 307 useable responses were analyzed to examine a proposed model. Research model compares dual paths of motivators: the extrinsic motivation route that leads from usefulness to shopping outcome satisfaction and intrinsic motivation route that leads from enjoyment to shopping process satisfaction. Technological complexity of digital signage indirectly and negatively influences shopping outcome and process satisfaction, mediated by usefulness and enjoyment, but directly and positively affects shopping process satisfaction. In omni-channel environments, the findings have implications for fashion retail managers in using digital signage to maximize customer satisfaction and to counterbalance the advantages and disadvantages of technological complexity.

최근 패션 e 커머스 시장이 팽창됨에 따라, 온라인쇼핑몰시장이 급격히 증가하고 있으며 경쟁이 치열한 상황이다. 많은 유통업자들은 온라인 쇼핑몰에 뛰어들어 물류서비스 품질에 대한 노력을 기울이고 있다. 본 연구는 패션온라인 쇼핑몰에 대하여 고객만족도와 재구매율에 영향을 주는 물류서비스 품질이 무엇인지, 또 성별에 따라서 차이가 있는지 조사하였다. 200명의 온라인 쇼핑몰 이용자를 대상을 표집하였으며 SPSS25 패키지를 이용, 분산분석, 요인분석, t-test, 상관분석 등 통계 분석하였다. 그 결과, 반품이유에 따라서 성별에 따른 차이를 나타내었는데, 품질에 차이를 보이거나 다른 제품이 배달되어도 남성은 여성보다 반품을 덜 하고 있었다. 또 패션온라인 쇼핑몰에서도 반품물류서비스는 일반적인 물류서비스 요소와 동일하게 정보성, 신뢰성, 신속성 등 3가지로 나눌 수 있었으며, 이에 대한 평가와 고객만족은 정적인 상관관계를 나타내었으며, 이는 재구매 의도에도 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셀렉 쇼핑몰이 반품이유, 재구매 의도와 만족도가 높은 반면에 전문쇼핑몰이나 일반 쇼핑몰은 비교적 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 반품물류 유통은 물류서비스의 품질과 구성요소 뿐만 아니라 잡지와 같은 정보를 제공하는 페이지 및 콘텐츠를 추가함으로써 고객의 만족도 및 재구매율이 높아질 것이다.
