Data were collected by a survey firm in June 2023, and 248 copies of the data were used for analysis. SPSS 28.0 was used to process the data, and frequency analysis, factor analysis, reliability analysis, and regression analysis were performed. The satisfaction factors for various sales promotions used by PC and mobile fashion shopping malls were empirically subdivided in consideration of consumer perspectives, and potentially effective marketing strategies were presented. Differences were observed in the type of satisfaction with sales promotion between PC fashion shopping malls and mobile fashion shopping malls and in the effect of sales promotion satisfaction on behavioral intention. Based on the study's findings, effective sales promotion strategies that can increase satisfaction and enhance behavioral intention may be developed and implemented through the use of various and different sales promotion strategies in PC and mobile fashion shopping malls.

This study examined the effects on customer delight, satisfaction, and repurchase intention for two reward types by online shopping malls, a hand-written letter and a free gift. Two scenarios to manipulate the rewards provided by online shopping malls were developed. Study 1 revealed that the effects of a hand-written letter on delight and satisfaction were higher than those of a free gift; in addition, delight was more important than satisfaction for repurchase intention. Study 2 examined product quality that is the core function of online purchases by developing 4 scenarios that considered product quality and rewards. The result showed that high product quality caused delight and satisfaction while rewards did not. When product quality was considered, satisfaction influenced repurchase intention more than delight. The study implies that the core function of product quality is more important than rewards for customer delight, satisfaction, and repurchase in online shopping malls.

Purpose: This study attempts to explain why online luxury shopping malls have implemented a difficult registration process and membership fees. These features weaken online shopping convenience, one of the major reasons why people shop online instead of offline. Therefore, this study scrutinizes the effects of membership features on trust, focusing on the moderating effects of registration difficulty and membership fees. Research design, data and methodology: A survey method with a total of 296 survey data was used. A 2 × 2 × 2 factorial design was employed. The three independent variables are price discount rate (20% vs. 70%), registration difficulty (low vs. high), and membership fees (yes vs. no). Results: The results reveal that a price discount rate has a negative effect on trust, whereas membership fees and registration difficulty moderate its negative effect on trust. Conclusions: A high price discount rate lowers trust for online luxury shopping malls. Meanwhile, registration difficulty and membership fees can be used to prevent consumers from losing trust caused by the high price discount rate. Therefore, registration difficulty and membership fees are signals implying that not everyone can use these private online shopping malls, which provide low prices for luxury items.

Consumer responses to 3D online shopping malls are influenced by their attitudes toward technology. This study examines the consumer differentiation according to technology readiness, compares customers with different technology readiness in terms of their perceived telepresence and e-loyalty, and examines the effect of their perceived telepresence on their e-loyalty. Samples from 300 females aged 21 to 39 were used for the final analysis. The results are as follows. First, consumers were classified into three groups, Explorers (N=72), Pioneers (N=105), and Skeptics (N=123), through factor analysis and k-means cluster analysis. Second, the Explorers evaluated the telepresence of the 3D online shopping mall higher than any other group. The Skeptics presented lower e-loyalty and perceived less telepresence in the 3D online shopping mall than the other two groups. Finally, telepresence had a significant influence on e-loyalty, as identified by the regression analysis. This verifies the effectiveness of 3D technology adopted or to be adopted by online shopping malls and demonstrates that 3D shopping malls can be a strategic alternative in the online shopping sector where competition is fierce. The results show that online shopping malls should focus on establishing 3D shopping environments with further effort to utilize the technology.
