The goal of this study was to investigate the impacts of customer satisfaction, store image, and switching barrier on store loyalty of the clothes shops at a large-scale discount store. The subjects were 357 female adults living in Suncheon City, Jeollanam Province. The questionnaires were conveniently sampled from June 1 to 30, 2006. The collected data were factor and reliability analyzed using the SPS program. And LISREL was used to test and evaluate the relationships between the constructs through confirmatory factor analysis and covariance structure analysis. Among the six hypotheses set in the research model, total four were selected through empirical analysis and the rest two were rejected. The analysis results were useful in making a conceptual model that could keep the simplicity about store loyalty and had increased explanatory power. Thus it turned out the deciding factors of store loyalty for the clothes shop at a discount store were customer satisfaction and switching barrier rather than store image. Customer satisfaction had the biggest influences on store loyalty among the expected variables. Considering the direct impacts of switching barrier on store loyalty, it's important to work on switching barrier along with customer satisfaction in order to maintain the customers' store loyalty. The efforts to identify the various factors of store loyalty in addition to switching barrier, customer satisfaction, and store image will lead to such marketing strategies as can vitalize the clothes shops at a large discount store.

The purpose of the study was to investigate customer loyalty programs of diverse types of retailers. As offline retailers, department store and discount store retailers were examined, and as nonstore retailers, online store and TV home shopping retailers were investigated. Types of customer loyalty programs were analyzed based on Dowling and Uncles'(1997) loyalty program framework which included two schemes, types of reward(direct versus indirect rewards) and timing of reward(immediate versus delayed rewards). The study found that different types of retailers utilized different types of loyalty programs: Department store used all the type of rewards, discount store focused on direct/immediate rewards, online store retailers used direct/delayed rewards and/or direct/immediate rewards, and TV home shopping retailers focused on direct/delayed rewards. The study provided diverse managerial and academic implications.

This study estimated a structural model for examining causal relationships among flagship store experiences, store emotion and loyalty, and to compare the structural models between luxury and fast fashion SPA brands. A total of 416 responses were collected from consumers who had experience with a variety of luxury and SPA flagship stores. Findings confirmed that flagship store experience consisted of four factors, such as sensory, affective, intellectual and behavioral experiences. Sensory and behavioral experiences had positive effects on store emotion that influenced loyalty. Affective and cognitive experiences influenced loyalty. All aspects of experiences explained store emotion or loyalty for luxury flagship stores; however, two of experiences (i.e., sensory and affective) were important to determine store emotion or loyalty for SPA flagship stores. The study discussed managerial implications for fashion brands to develop and manage flagship stores.

본 연구는 점포충성도에 영향을 미치는 브랜드만족, 브랜드신뢰, 점포만족, 점포신뢰 간의 구조적 관계를 검증하였다. 분석결과 점포충성도는 단순하게 브랜드나 점포 각각에 대한 만족과 신뢰 형성보다는 브랜드와 점포가 결합된 만족과 신뢰를 제공함으로써 강력한 점포충성도를 형성할 수 있었다. 또한 점포충성도 형성 과정으로는 관계지향적 고객의 경우 브랜드만족이 브랜드신뢰에 영향을 주고, 브랜드신뢰는 점포신뢰에 영향을 주어 점포충성도를 형성하였고, 거래지향적 고객의 경우 브랜드만족이 점포만족에 영향을 주어 직접적으로 점포충성도를 형성하는 두 가지 경로를 확인하였다. 따라서 관계지향적 고객에게는 소비자가 점포브랜드에 신뢰할 수 있도록 차별화할 수 있는 파워브랜드를 제공하여야 하고, 거래지향적 고객에게는 점포에 만족할 수 있도록 점포환경을 개선하고 서비스를 강화하여야 하는 마케팅시사점을 제공한다.

Purpose - We seek feasible strategies to draw customers into a state of attitudinal/behavioral loyalty through perceived quality and perceived risk in the experienced food industry. Research design, data, and methodology - We utilize the LISREL model to examine the cause and effect relationships between customer loyalty, perceived quality, perceived risk, and three marketing proposals (brand image, store image, and promotion). We employed the quota sampling method to conduct the survey questionnaires, collecting365 effective customer samples in coffee shops/stores in Taipei City. Results - We find that store image substantially benefits consumer loyalty through perceived quality. Marketing managers can enhance store environment and atmosphere to elicit both attitudinal and behavioral aspects of customer-perceived quality and loyalty. Conclusions - This is the first paper to investigate simultaneously customer loyalty across brand image, store image, and promotion/marketing proposals in the food industry. Managers can promote brand image and store image at the same time to enhance customer-perceived quality.

Purpose - The entry of Super Supermarkets (SSM), operated by large corporations, into the retail distribution market weakens the competitive power of local supermarkets (SM) and their families leading to a rapid collapse of the local-SM market. Accordingly, this is a very sensitive and urgent issue in Korean society and politics. Therefore, the government is required to take steps to activate a local-SM market and regain the loyalty of their customers. However, in spite of the urgent need of a comparative study on the advantages and competitive power of local-SM in relation to the SSM, little research has been done on this issue to date. One purpose of this study is to analyze the differences in store characteristics of the local SM and SSM, and to explore the relationships amongst various store characteristics, such as consumption emotion, relation quality, and store loyalty between store types to provide an efficient solution to activate a local-SM market. Research design, data, methodology - To analyze the differences in the evaluation of store characteristics between store types, and to test the moderator and mediator effects, data were collected from 488 customers in Seoul, Incheon,and Gyeonggi Province. The theoretical model consists of four hypotheses, and data was processed to test these using factor analysis, t-test, regression analysis, hierarchical regression, and the three step regression proposed by Baron and Kenny. Results - First, the analysis shows that local-SM customers evaluate location characteristic factors significantly higher compared to SSM customers. However, SSM customers evaluate quality of merchandise, sales promotion activities, and store environment significantly higher. Yet, there are no significant differences in the evaluation of consumption emotion, relation quality,and store loyalty between the store types. Second, the analysis of moderator effects of the store type show that sales promotion and store atmosphere factors have a significantly negative moderating effecton positive consumption emotion, while positive consumption emotion has a significantly positive moderating effect on absorption of relation quality, while there are no significant moderating effects between consumption emotion and store loyalty. Third, while both trust and absorption of relation quality are partially mediated between consumption emotion and store loyalty, only absorption is partially mediated between positive consumption emotion and store loyalty. There are no significant mediating effects of absorption between negative consumption emotion and store loyalty. Conclusions - We strongly recommend that location restrictions on entrance of SSM into local-SM market should either be further strengthened or sustained for the activation of the local store market. Government should strengthen financial support to improve the quality of merchandise, sales promotion, employee education, store environment of the local-SM by providing appropriate business consulting. Moreover, the result implies that the owners of alocal-SM should take measures to increase customers' absorption and store loyalty, such as store cleanliness, maintaining a delightful atmosphere at the store, and training employees on attitudes towards customers. As this study is restricted within Seoul, Incheon, and Gyeonggi Province, care needs to be taken in generalizing the interpretation and application to the national level.

본 연구에서는 백화점을 대상으로 상품이미지, 점포환경이미지, 판매원서비스이미지, 촉진활동이미지, 물리적시설이미지, 사후서비스이미지 등 점포이미지 구성요인과 인지적만족, 감정적만족 및 충성도 간의 경로상의 관계를 검증하고 만족의 역할을 확인하였다. 분석결과, 선행연구에서 점포이미지가 충성도에 직접적으로 영향을 미치거나 혹은 만족을 통해 간접적으로 영향을 미친다고 하였지만 본 연구에서는 점포이미지 구성요인에 따라서 인지적만족, 감정적만족, 충성도에 각기 다르게 영향을 미침을 확인하였다. 즉 상품이미지와 물리적시설이미지는 인지적만족에, 판매원서비스이미지와 사후서비스이미지는 감정적만족에 그리고 촉진활동이미지는 두 변수 모두에게 영향을 주었으며, 점포환경이미지는 직접적으로 충성도에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 판매원서비스이미지, 촉진활동이미지 및 사후서비스이미지 등 서비스와 관련된 점포이미지는 감정적만족를 매개하여 충성도를 구축하는 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 고객에게 점포이미지를 형성하여 충성도를 가져오기 위해서는 점포이미지 구성요소를 기능적속성과 심리적속성으로 분리하여 만족을 유도하여야 하며 궁극적으로 충성도를 형성하는 변수들을 중심으로 점포이미지를 형성해야 할 것이다.
