The objectives of this study are to provide the food market of internet shopping malls with effective marketing data, to provide basic data for the development of related fields of the study, and ultimately to increase the satisfaction of food consumers of internet shopping malls. To achieve the object of this research, a cluster analysis of the research subjects was carried out based on the following 5 factors of food purchasing attribute that had been deduced by a factor analysis by the types of food purchasers: quality characteristics, informativity, convenience, price and diversity. According to the result of the cluster analysis, the research subjects were classified into the 2 clusters of diversity and informativity. The deduced 2 clusters, together with age and occupation among general characteristics, were used as independent variables to find out food purchasing behaviors and satisfaction at internet shopping malls. The results are as follows: Regarding the frequency of food purchasing experiences at internet shopping malls according to occupation, the highest frequency was shown by those involved in service, sales and self-employed businesses; whereas regarding the frequency according to age, those in their 30s and 40s showed the highest frequency. The total amount of money spent on food purchasing for 1 year at internet shopping malls was shown to increase as age increased. The frequency of the purchasing experiences of agricultural products and fish products was shown to be higher as age increased. However, overall purchase satisfaction was highest among those in their 30s, while lowest among those in their 40s. Regarding satisfaction by the types of food purchased via internet shopping malls, satisfaction was relatively higher with common foods and functional foods, while lower with fish products. Taken together, it was concluded that purchasing behaviors at internet food shopping malls, such as the frequency of purchasing experiences and purchase amount, varied depending on age rather than purchasing attribute. Accordingly, in order to vitalize internet food shopping malls, it would be necessary to provide customized food shopping information for individual age groups.

본 논문은 오프라인 채널이 온라인 채널로 사업 영역을 확장할 경우 기존 오프라인 채널의 경쟁적 자산, 이를테면, 브랜드 명성, 서비스 만족도 등이 온라인 채널의 선호도로 연결될 수 있는지를 실증분석을 통해 증명하였다. 연구결과, 오프라인 채널의 브랜드 명성과 서비스 만족도가 오프라인 채널의 선호도에는 직접적으로 긍정적인 영향을 미치고, 온라인 채널의 선호도에는 간접적으로 영향을 미친다. 즉, 오프라인 채널의 경쟁력이 우수할 경우 고객 입장에서는 오프라인 채널의 선호도가 높아져서 거래관계에 대한 몰입과 충성심이 증가한 뒤, 시간적 거리를 두고 오프라인 기업이 확장한 온라인 채널에 대한 선호도 향상으로 발전해 갈 수 있음이 입증되었다. 즉, 오프라인 채널의 경쟁력 향상은 현재와 미래 모두의 사업 기회를 확보하는 데 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것이다. 본 연구의 주요 시사점을 정리하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 유통 채널의 서비스 품질 관리가 브랜드 명성 관리보다 더욱 중요하다. 고객의 서비스에 대한 체험과 주관적인 평가는 장기적인 브랜드 명성 관리의 선행요소로서 중요할 뿐만 아니라, 채널 선호도에도 더 큰 영향을 미친다. 따라서, 신규 고객을 포함한 일반 고객을 대상으로 하는 광범위한 브랜드 포지셔닝 전략 보다는 기존 우수 고객을 대상으로 하는 서비스 만족도 향상 전략이 더 중요하다는 의미이다. 둘째, 기존의 오프라인 채널이 온라인 채널로서 인터넷쇼핑몰을 구축할 경우 기존의 오프라인 채널의 고객 선호도, 주관적인 평가가 그대로 온라인 채널에도 영향을 미친다는 점이다. 유통기관의 오프라인 채널이 온라인 채널로 확장한 경우뿐만 아니라, 기존의 전통 제조기업이나 서비스 기업이 영업활동의 확장으로서 온라인으로 채널을 확장한 경우도 마케팅 채널의 수직적 통합(Vertical Integration)으로서 유통채널의 확장에 준하여 모두 이에 해당될 수 있다. 셋째, '채널확장'이란 '기업이 자사의 마케팅 활동이나 영업활동의 채널을 증대하기 위하여 온라인 또는 오프라인으로 채널을 확대시키는 의사결정과 그 실행'을 의미하는 것임을 확인할 수 있다. 일반적으로 오프라인 기업의 온라인으로의 채널 확장은 유통채널 확장 그 자체를 위한 목적과 전반적인 경영 프로세스 혁신의 목적 두 가지로 나누어 질 수 있다. 전자는 전통 오프라인 기업의 매출액을 증대하여 수익창출에 기여하기 위함이고, 후자는 주로 오프라인 기업의 비용절감을 통해 수익증대에 기여하기 위함이다.

Purpose - The purpose of the study is to reexamine the price fairness as practiced by low cost airlines, as a consumer has to experience such inconveniences as inferior airport transportation, extra fees on in-flight meals, and non-negotiable seats, and consumers evaluate such experiences keeping in mind their total costs. This evaluation includes price fairness and allows a reasonable and overall consideration of factors of low cost airlines. It tries to set up a measurement of the indicators consumers' perceptions of price fairness academically as it adapts price fairness to airline services which are renowned for price volatility. Research design, data, and methodology - The research proposes an alternative pricing strategy for the long term profit of low cost airlines after going over conflicts between the traditional theory of consumers' price perception mechanism and flexible fair policy of low cost airlines. It was meaningful when it relates to the early stage of the business, while it enhances the risks relating to the long term survival of low cost airlines. In addition, it is significant as it highlights the negative influences on consumers' perceptions of price fairness, as low cost airlines run on extremely low cost perspectives. Results - The results of the research provide insight into four perspectives, as consumers' perceptions of price fairness are influenced by the frequency and range of price changes and services. The first perspective is that it would lead to positive price evaluation when a low cost airline cuts prices frequently with little changes than one big change. It also would lead to the same result when it comes to necessary services. The second perspective is that one big increase of price would rather undermine the negative aspects of price changes than those of several smaller ones. The third perspective is that additional services would be good to consumers' perceptions of price fairness as compared to discount benefits with respect to the cost. Finally, a low cost airline should consider that consumers will change airlines or defer their flight schedule if the flight fares increase beyond their limits. Conclusions - Low cost airlines should reconsider their pricing policies for services that were provided free earlier. A consumer would not like discount benefits when made to pay for services that were, for long, free of charge. If a low cost airline can provide services with no charge, it should improve volumes if the costs are standardized and, moreover, should consider the charging fees. Alternatively, a consumer can choose between services and fair discount. Low cost airlines are implementing sales promotion strategies, as the competition is more intense than it used to be. In these days, they should regard services over sales promotion, as consumers may prefer to spend money on good premium services. Some differentiation in services could create a good market position for the airlines and, hence, good financial performance.

구매자와의 관계지속을 위한 관계 확산형 비즈니스 모델의 가장 큰 특징은 한번이라도 물품을 구매한 고객은 SNS(Social Networking Service)의 팔로우(Follow) 기능을 이용하여 자동으로 단골고객으로 등록하여, 구매자와 생산자와의 관계가 일회성에 그치지 않고 향후에도 지속될 수 있게 하여 잠재고객이 되고, 장기적으로 재구매가 이루어지게 한다. 단골이 된 고객에게 생산자는 신상품 출하 시 객관적인 물품정보 외에 재배하는 동안의 농장 모습이나 농작물의 성장과정 등 생생한 근황과, 파종에서 수확까지의 숨겨진 이야기를 통해 자신이 농사지으며 전원생활을 하는듯한 감성을 자극한다. 또한, 생산자는 저장법이나 요리법 등의 다양한 사용법을 안내하며 새로운 물품을 추천하거나 홍보를 할 수 있다. 이러한 장점은 기존의 전자상거래에서 상품의 판매와 홍보가 분리되어 링크를 통해 외부로 연결되어야 하는 문제에서 벗어나 판매와 홍보가 하나의 계정 안에서 수행하도록 하여 사이트 접근성을 높여준다. 또한 구매자간에도 상품을 추천하고 소식을 확산하게 하여 구매자는 구매한 상품에 대한 구매경험을 공유하고, 추천, 구매후기 작성 및 기존 구매후기를 재배포하여 서로 알지 못하던 구매자 사이의 소통을 가능하게 한다는 것이다.

Purpose - In urban regeneration projects, considerations for rejuvenating traditional public markets are becoming increasingly important. That is because the traditional market is not just a commercial space but also a living center for local people's existence. Cultural contents like these are invaluable assets in the contemporary economy. However, traditional markets are gradually declining because of changes in distribution systems and consumer lifestyles. New distribution systems such as modern distribution markets, home shopping, and online shopping malls made traditional markets less competitive. Further, traditional markets have not been able to adapt to the changing consumption styles of younger generations. Some say that it is a natural phenomenon that cannot be stopped. However, traditional markets are not just another distribution system but also a valuable resource that encapsulates the local people's tradition and history. Thus, a revitalization strategy for traditional public markets has become an urgent task in contemporary urban regeneration projects. This study aimed to find ways to activate traditional public markets by making it a community landmark based on visual merchandising perspectives. Research design and methodology - This study focused on analyzing Granville Island (Vancouver, Canada) as a role-model project for rejuvenating the traditional market. It investigated Granville Island both with walk-through evaluation and literature reviews. Results - We found that it has been developed not only to improve visual aspects, but also to promote cultural contents with high value added. For example, the developers maintained the visual elements that tell the original history of the site as an industrial factory. The renewal project had a balance between improving the outer look and creating attractive contents. The following are the merits of Granville Island that Korean traditional markets should note. First, they kept the whole area clean and hygienic. Second, merchants are well educated, business-savvy, and consumer-oriented. Third, the area's total environmental designs were done by professionals of a high caliber. Fourth, the city government and the merchants'association were collaborating well in their efforts to accommodate the changing needs of consumers. Conclusions - This study made the following suggestions as a conclusion. First, it will be a very powerful tool to rejuvenate the traditional market if we can discover unique cultural resources and develop them as cultural products, experiences, and events. Consumers of the 21st century have a strong tendency to consume not only material products, but also the experiences and memories attached to them. Second, in order to maintain the unique characteristics of traditional markets, fostering the viability of the merchants' association and local residents' society would be essential. Third, it is necessary to make the traditional market into a cultural place not only for the shopping patronage of local residents, but also for attracting tourists to increase sales. Finally, professional management and design approaches are needed in order to make the traditional market a pleasant space from a visual merchandising standpoint.

This study aims to suggest a direction for interior space design for fashion flagship stores in the future where the brand identity can become correctly recognized by the consumers, and consumers can have various and differentiated experiences. As research method, theoretical concept review and case study on brand communication and VMD were used. Specifically, for review on brand communication, concept, strategies, and space types were explored, and, for review on VMD, concept, purpose, and expressive elements were researched. Also, the study looked at the relevance between and importance of strategy types of brand communication and VMD. Through these reviews, strategy types of brand communication and analysis criteria for VMD application were written based on the research and analysis of 8 cases in Korean and elsewhere. The results of this study is as follows: Based on marketing-oriented thinking with understanding of VMD, the plan must accurately understand the image and identity pursued by the brand, take into account the store layout, atmosphere, product concept, trend, and display, so that the store can communicate with the customers with cognitive consistency, diversity of senses, and differentiation from other companies. Currently, fashion flagship stores in Korea are concentrated on sales in expressing VMD, and, therefore, are difficult to deliver brand identity to consumers and they require diversity in expressive elements in doing so. Therefore, in the interior space design of fashion flagship stores in Korea, brand communication must enhance cognitive, behavioral, relationship, and culture marketing, and, requires confirming VMD expression in details by linking with brand communication and specific expressions based on it.
