A social networking service (SNS) is a system that allows users to freely communicate with each other to form a network of social connections and expand their network of contacts. Companies and brands use SNS marketing to provide information by creating their own content and sending it to consumers. Since companies can freely express the information they want to convey, it has become important to establish a promotional strategy that can increase consumers' intention to buy. Therefore, in this study, we categorized SNS posts into simple product exposure and ostentatious self-expression, and selected the product type to find out how consumers form attitudes toward SNS posts. The experimental design was a 2X2 factorial design with SNS post type (simple exposure, ostentatious self-expression) x product type (material goods, experiential goods), and 92 college students were tested. The results of the study showed that there was an interaction effect between SNS post type and product type, which supported the research hypotheses H1 to H3. In addition, this study attempted to verify the structural relationship between consumer attitude toward SNS posts and purchase intention through product attitude. It was found that product attitude fully mediated between consumer attitude and purchase intention. Therefore, this study empirically examined consumer attitudes toward various types of posts to determine which types of posts trigger SNS users' purchase intentions. We also confirmed the mediating effect of consumer attitude on product attitude and intention to purchase. Therefore, based on the differences in SNS users' attitudes when posting their products, this study suggests an efficient SNS marketing strategy for companies to shape product attitudes and purchase intentions.

SNS has become a very close service to our daily life. As marketing is done through SNS, places often called hot places are created, and users are flocking to these places. However, it is often crowded with a large number of people in a short period of time, resulting in a negative experience for both visitors and service providers. In order to improve this problem, it is necessary to recognize the congestion level, but the method to determine the congestion level in a specific area at an individual level is very limited. Therefore, in this study, we tried to propose a system that can identify the congestion level information and the characteristics of visitors to a specific tourist destination by using the data on the SNS. For this purpose, posting data uploaded by users and image analysis were used, and the performance of the proposed system was verified using the Naver DataLab system. As a result of comparative verification by selecting three places by type of tourist destination, the results calculated in this study and the congestion level provided by DataLab were found to be similar. In particular, this study is meaningful in that it provides a degree of congestion based on real data of users that is not dependent on a specific company or service.

The purpose of this study is to find out the consumer's purchasing behavior and its factors when a convenience store brand is marketing new PB products online. For this study, we surveyed 2030 millennials about the purchase behavior of convenience store PB products and the paths to encounter PB products. As a result, consumers who purchase convenience store PB products were exposed to the product through SNS or YouTube, and they tended to join the trend by posting on SNS after purchase. In this study, we want to examine the consumption trends of millennials that have this type of consumption and the concept of online marketing that affects them. It is hoped that future consumer purchases will continue to be valuable consumption rather than relying on trends.
