The goal of this research is to look into the relationship between social media marketing activities and brand attachment in the online marketing business, based on the indirect effect of perceived value and self-brand connections. For this reason, the study has used self-administered questionnaires to collect the data from 425 males from the major cities of Pakistan including Islamabad, Karachi, Lahore, and Sialkot. Furthermore, based on the PLS-SEM technique the empirical findings show that social media marketing activities positively affect perceived value, self-brand connections, and brand attachment. Perceived value has a significant positive impact on brand attachment and mediates the influence of social media marketing activities on brand attachment. In addition to this, self-brand connections have a positive effect on brand attachment, and self-brand connections mediate the relationship between them. Thus, firms employing social media marketing activities successfully in their branding build upon a positive perception of the brand in the customer's mind resulting in customer attachment with the brand. This study can assist the e-commerce managers and brand managers in building strong customer attachment via perceived value and self-brand connections.

기업들이 온라인 마케팅 채널로 SNS를 이용하고 있으며 나아가 소셜을 통한 고객관계관리(소셜CRM)의 영역으로 발전시키고 있는 추세이다. 이처럼 사회 전반적으로 소셜 미디어를 통한 기업들의 마케팅이 활발한 상황이지만 국내 어학 브랜드들의 소셜 미디어 마케팅 활동은 브랜드 특성에 따라 상이한 상태이다. 본 연구는 소셜 미디어 마케팅 활동의 구성 요소 중 정보성, 콘텐츠 적합성, 최신성이 브랜드 자산과 구매의도에 미치는 영향을 분석 하였다. 연구 결과 첫째, 소셜 미디어 마케팅 활동의 구성 요소들은 브랜드 자산에 유의한 영향을 미치며 그 영향력은 최신성, 콘텐츠 적합성, 정보성 순이었다. 둘째, 브랜드 자산과 소비자 구매의도에서도 유의한 영향관계가 있으며, 자녀유무에 따라 구매의도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구의 결과는 어학원 소셜 미디어 마케팅에 관한 기초 연구 자료로 활용 될 수 있을 것이며 어학원 소셜 미디어 마케팅에 관한 학술적인 자료가 충분하지 않은 현 상황에서 향후 후속 연구에 이론적인 방향성을 제시할 수 있을 것이다.

The implementation of physical or social distancing during the Covid-19 pandemic has an implication on the shifting of conventional to online business activities. This study aims to explore how financial support, perceived benefits, external pressure determine social media marketing as well as understanding the role of internet and e-business technology (IEBT) that occurs in this relationship. This study adopted a quantitative study with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM)-based variance Partial Least Square (PLS), which aims to enhance understanding of the relationship between variables. The surveyed population of this study came from 123 small- and medium-sized enterprise (SME) owners in East Java of Indonesia, using an online survey and selected with the convenience random sampling method. The findings of this study indicated that the perceived benefits and external pressure have a positive effect on the adoption of IEBT. However, financial support failed in explaining SMEs' adoption of IEBT. This study confirmed that the adoption of IEBT has successfully mediated the influence of financial support, perceived benefits, and external pressure on social media marketing. Despite the samples solely collected from East Java, this study is the first step in research related to the social media marketing in SMEs in Indonesia.

Companies operating in social network platforms continue to improve and expand their marketing techniques. This study examines the practice of "gating", which involves virtual barriers between social network users and company content. Gates demand mandatory user endorsements, in the form of a Facebook "Likes", Twitter "retweets" etc., to gain access to company content, such as coupons and rewards,. Gating practices demand a mandatory endorsement before any content consumption takes place. Thus, while user endorsements are assumed to arise voluntarily from trusted known sources, gating practices would appear to violate this assumption. However, whether this violation lessens the effectiveness of gating practices still requires empirical validation. We investigate this question through the use of a unique panel data set that includes data on "like" endorsements obtained from a number of real-world Facebook business pages. Results of the study show that gating practices are effective for endorsement solicitation; however, gates may interfere with more traditional marketing activities.

본 연구는 오픈소스SW의 기술적 접근이 아닌 개발자와 소비자들이 함께 참여하고 공유할 수 있는 소셜 플랫폼을 활용한 프로슈머(Prosumer)마케팅의 관점에서 OSS의 마케팅연구에 기여점을 제시하고자한다. 이를 위하여 OSS의 온라인 브랜드 커뮤니티 활성화가 소셜 미디어 플랫폼을 활용한 OSS의 프로슈머 마케팅에 미치는 영향을 알아보고 최종적으로 소셜 미디어 플랫폼 사용자들의 OSS에 대한 충성도를 알아보고자 하였다. 연구의 결과로서 온라인 브랜드 커뮤니티의 활성화 요인들 중 커뮤니티의 콘텐츠, 고객지원, UI, 그리고 커뮤니티 활동에 대한 유/무상의 보상이 OSS 소셜 미디어 플랫폼 활성화에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 브랜드의 명성은 OSS 소셜 미디어 플랫폼 활성화에 유의미한 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, OSS 소셜 미디어 플랫폼의 활성화가 OSS의 충성도에 긍정적인 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 급변하는 ICT 생태계에서 OSS 비즈니스의 새로운 해법으로서 소셜 플랫폼기반 프로슈머 마케팅이 중요한 전략이 될 수 있다는 것을 보여주는 결과라고 할 수 있다.
