Small luxury purchase as self-gifting is one of the latest consumer trends in self-gifting. Although this consumption trend continues to grow in various fields, little research has been conducted on related consumer behavior. As such, this study was conducted to empirically investigate the current consumer behavior involved in purchase of small luxury self-gifts. The objectives of this study are to determine the current status of self-gifts markets, identify motives and orientations of self-gifting, and investigate the effects of the motives on self-gifts orientations. A total of 199 respondents were used in data analyses. Regarding motives for self-gifting, four motives - self-comfort, self-reward, anxiety, and showing off - were identified; regarding self-gifting orientations, five factors - rationalization (emotional comfort, product attributes, self-defense, and conformity) and the luxury being within one's spending limit - were identified. The study determined the effects of the motives on the orientations, and the effects of the motives and the orientations on post-purchase consumer reaction. This study conducted an empirical investigation on small luxury self-gifting and moreover, the study determined the motives, orientations, and consequences of self-gifting, which have not yet been explained in the literature.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the benefits sought by luxury good customers contingent on product category, and to understand the relationship between the benefits sought and brand loyalty. A qualitative approach was used; therefore in-depth interviews were conducted with seven panels of professionals in the luxury industry. The findings are as follows: 1) Handbag customers mainly seek the social benefits in order to express their social status by purchasing well-known, easily-recognizable brands. 2) Shoe customers primarily seek the practical-functional benefits, which are comfort and function. 3) Small Leather Goods customers seek the social benefits for themselves and as gifts for others. 4) Brand loyalty for handbag customers is reported to be low, as their primary goals are the social benefits. Rather than devoting themselves to one specific brand, handbag customers prefer to purchase from various brands. 5) Shoe customers have reportedly higher brand loyalty, as they tend to come back to brands when they are satisfied with the benefits they pursue. The findings of this study provide more information on the practical implications of luxury good customer purchasing habits. Firstly, customers pursue different benefits depending on product category, and secondly, brand loyalty differs by customers' benefits.

The case study looks into the case of the "extreme" market segmentation strategy of company L with its top luxury windows and door brand "Lonchel". Company L has long enjoyed a leading position in the Korean windows and doors mass market. However, it went against their already well-established flagship brand and created a completely new one called "Lonchel", pursuing an extreme market segmentation strategy focusing on the small niche market of highest-income customers exclusively. The strategy has turned out to be successful and the company has gained long-lasting competitive advantages. In this vein this study analyzes the market environment in which the top-tier brand "Lonchel" appeared, the concept of the extreme positioning and the smallest viable market, the characteristics of target customers, the company's analysis of and response to them, and the analysis of products to meet their needs.

본 연구에서는 체면민감성이 명품브랜드의 로고 사이즈 선택에 미치는 영향에 대해 살펴보았다. 이 연구를 수행하기 위해, 루이비통과 가격이 좀 더 저렴한 코론을 명품 브랜드로 선정하였고, 각 브랜드마다, 형태, 색상, 크기 등 외관상 구별이 되지 않는 제품에 세 가지 유형의 로고를 설계하였다. 첫 번째 종류의 제품에는 로고가 없으며, 두 번째 종류의 제품에는 사이즈가 작은 로고를, 세 번째 종류의 제품에는 사이즈가 큰 로고를 부착하였다. 본 실험에 총 115명이 참여하였으며, 참가자들은 20대로 구성되었다. 연구의 주요 결과로 루이비통의 경우 창피의식성 체면과 타인의식성 체면이 브랜드 상표 사이즈 선택에 영향을 주었으며, 코론의 경우도 창피의식성 체면과 타인의식성 체면이 브랜드 사이즈 선택에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 더불어 남 녀 간 체면민감성 차이는 없었고, 루이비통의 로고사이즈 선택에서 유의한 차이가 있었다.

As the number of companion animals reaches 15 million in 2022, the pet wear market is expected to grow at an average annual rate of about 14.5% from KRW 1.5684 trillion in 2014 to a market size of over KRW 6 trillion in 2027. However, most of the pet clothing and various supplies currently in circulation are either cheap, low-quality products imported from China or other countries, or expensive products released by overseas luxury brands. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a brand that can compete with luxury products coming from overseas by developing premium pet fashion products using high-end functional fabrics produced domestically. This study seeks to propose ways to revitalize the domestic pet fashion market by examining the current status of global pet fashion, the domestic textile industry, and the current status of the pet fashion market. The suggestions and expected effects are as follows. First, active support is needed for the development of products using domestically produced fabrics, such as raising awareness through various subsidy projects and contests. Second, it is expected that small and medium-sized businesses will be revitalized through the production of pet fashion products using high-quality functional knit fabrics produced in northern Gyeonggi Province. Third, it is necessary to produce high-quality premium products through continuous and intensive support from the government and collaboration between large corporations and small and medium-sized enterprises. Fourth, there is an urgent need to provide opportunities to train experts for the expected effects of starting businesses and creating new jobs.
