Price is a product attribute, which is determined by the function of the producing cost and profit. It is also identified as one of the most important components of the marketing mix. For consumers, price is an always-existing cue, definite evaluation criteria, and easily accessible information in the purchasing process. Considering the concept of the clothing-price in a comprehensive perspective encompassing economic, psychological and marketing perspectives, a theoretical model was developed. The model includes souses and dimensions of price perception and related behaviors. Souses of price perception were: the actual retail price at selling point, the internal reference price and external reference price. The dimensions of price perception included sacrifice perception, economic value perception, inference, savings perception and price as information perception. Clothing price related behaviors that flowed these dimensions were: low price consciousness, value for money consciousness, price-quality inference, price-prestige inference, sale proneness and price mavenism. An empirical study was conducted to validate the theoretical model. A questionnaire was developed and data were collected from 680 adult women living in Seoul, Korea. Confirmatory factor analysis as well as exploratory factor analysis results showed that theorized price related behaviors were successful classifications.

Price, one of the marketing 4p's, is a key decision variable affecting market share and the profitability of individual products. For consumers, since price is almost always known to and can be compared, it is one of the most important criteria when they make a purchase decision making. With the consumers' increasing consciousness for price due to economic recession, and the saturation of domestic apparel market, it is expected that the effect of price on consumers' decision making would be greater than ever. This study, the first in two part series, focuses on testing the validity of dimensions of clothing price using Lichtenstein et. at. (1993)'s suggestion. In addition, the effect of demographic variables on the perception of each price dimension was investigated. The subjects were 264 college students living in Seoul, Korea. The data were collected by self -administered questionnaires and analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, regression analysis and Lisrel confirmatory factor analysis. The result supported Lichtenstein et. al. (1993)'s suggestion. That is, consumers' perception of clothing price is not mini-dimensional, but has six dimensions: sale proneness, price mavenism, value consciousness, price consciousness, price -quality schema and prestige sensitivity. Demographic variables partially effect on the consumers' perception of each clothing price dimension. The level of monthly pocket money, however, has influence on all price dimensions. Based on these results, marketing implications for apparel manufacturers were suggested.

This study examines the dynamics of trust and distrust at different price levels. We first note that trust and distrust are built with cognitive and affective foundations, and price is viewed as a financial burden or product quality information. Then, we relate price changes to trust and distrust, and hypothesize their interactions: price as a quality cue will positively moderate the cognitive dimension of trust, whereas price as financial burden will negatively moderate the affective dimensions of trust and distrust. We surveyed 263 online mall shoppers in Korea. Among our eight hypotheses, six are fully supported and two are partially supported. The result shows that price perception interacts with both the cognitive and affective dimensions of trust and distrust, but its specific impacts are distinguished by the price perceptions, whether it is financial burden or product quality information.

以前的研究已经表明零售价格促销改变消费者的购买行为以及零售商频繁的使用价格促销. 为了持续的从消费者身上获得利益, 零售商会采用几种价格促销方式. 例如, 零售商采用绝 对的降低价格($,€), 百分比价格, 或两种方法的结合(Della Bitta et al. 1981). 采用不同的价格促销类似于购买决定的形成(Monroe 1990). 框架效应是指一个问题两种在逻辑意义上相似的说法却导致了不同的决策判断(Frisch 1993). 因此, 如何陈述促销会影响消费者的交易评价并提高销售量. 事实上, 大量的营销研究已经证实了价格陈述对交易感知的影响(Lichtenstein and Bearden 1989; Urbany et al. 1988; Yadav and Monroe 1993). 从这个意义上说, 很多的营销研究已经论证了交易感知同样由消费者准确的计算折扣和最终价格的水平决定的(Estelami 2003a; Morwitz et al. 1998). 所以营销者能够通过提高计算的准确性来提高消费者对折扣的反应. 最后, 由于整体的计算误差导致低估了折扣(Kim and Kramer 2006), 消费者更容易在深度分析价格信息之后领会打折的报价,使他们能更准确地评估价格折扣. 本研究的目的是测试不同的折扣价格对消费者价格感知的影响. 更准确的来说, 本研究的目的是探索如何不同的执行相同的价格促销(语义和视觉凸显), 从而影响消费者对促销的感知和他们的购买决定. 我们的分析聚焦于价格陈述对评估, 购买意图和储蓄感知的影响. 为了验证提出的假设, 本文用实验性分析来分析几个折扣陈述. 从这个意义上来说, 我们采用一个2(数值显著陈述: 绝对和相对)x 2(语言显著陈述: 新颖的和传统的)x 2(视觉显著: 红色和蓝色)的设计来探索折扣陈述对三个因变量的影响: 评估, 购买意图和储蓄感知. 我们向受访者提供一个假设的广告, 受访者被告知报价的情况并需要对此评估. 一旦样本完成对广告的评估, 他们需要回答一份与价格显著和依赖纬度的问卷. 然后, 进行操作来确保受访者记得他们被对待的情况. 接着, 我们用一个2x2x2的多变量方差分析和随访单变量的测试来证实研究假设并检测单因子(价格显著)对评估, 购买意图和储蓄感知的影响. 结果表明, 语义和视觉显著的陈述对评估, 购买意图和储蓄感知有显著的主要影响和相互作用. 数值显著的作用显著影响评估和购买意图. 另外, 语言显著主要影响储蓄并作用与评估和购买意图. 最后, 视觉显著的相互作用对评估有显著影响. 本研究的结果的实践启示包括公司在计划基于用折扣来吸引消费者主义的促销时需要考虑. 因为价格陈述对消费者感知有重要的影响, 所以零售商应该考虑那种影响是想要的从而设计有效的折扣陈述. 特别是, 零售商应该用一种使得最终价格计算容易的传统方式来陈述折扣. 这是如此重要的调查方式使得营销者可以提高消费者心算的准确性来提高消费者对价格折扣的反应. 这个有关价格陈述对消费者反之和购买意图的影响的初步研究为未来的研究开启了方向.

This paper explores the effects of price discount frequency on consumer evaluation of clothing brand equity as well as the impact on consumers who exhibit different consumer characteristics. Following a preliminary investigation, two clothing brand groups were identified according to the frequency of their price discounts, one with a high frequency of price discounts, the other with a low frequency. Each brand group consisted of three women's clothing brands. A questionnaire was developed and administered to 351 females between the ages of nineteen and thirty-four in October 2000. The questionnaire included questions on evaluations on clothing brand equity (i.e., perceived quality, brand image, perceived value, reliability and brand knowledge), on consumer characteristics (i.e., clothing knowledge, clothing evaluative criteria, price perception and demographic characteristics), as well as on price discount frequency. Statistical tests, such as factor analysis. t-test and pearson's correlation, were used to analyze the data. Results of this research showed that price discount frequency negatively impacted consumer perception of clothing brand equity. The negative influence was particularly strong on the perceived quality and brand image dimensions of brand equity. The findings also suggested the effect of price discount frequency on consumer assessment of clothing brand equity was related to consumer characteristics as well. The equity of the clothing brand group with a low frequency of price discounts was positively related to clothing knowledge, price-quality inference, price-prestige inference, sale prone-ness. price mavenism, valuing the fashionable and symbolic uses of clothing and family income. On the other hand, it was negatively related to low price consciousness. The equity of the clothing brand group with a high frequency of price discounts was positively related to utilitarian economic aspects of clothing values as well as to low price consciousness. To establish and maintain high brand equity, marketers must pay attention to the frequency of price discount as it may have a negative impact on clothing brand equity.
