과거에는 영화 흥행을 좌우하는 요소로 감독, 스타 배우, 개봉 스크린 수, 온라인 평점, 배급사 등을 들었다. 그러나 구전 효과의 등장으로 이러한 공식에도 변화가 초래되었는데, 인터넷과 스마트폰이 널리 보급된 현 시점에서는 구전 효과의 영향력이 점점 더 강해지고 있다. 저자는 구전 효과가 이루어지는 매개체 중 하나인 SNS에 주목하여, SNS가 영화 흥행에 영향을 미친 실제 사례에 대하여 조명해 보려 한다. 작년에 크게 흥행했던 영화 중에서 SNS의 효과를 톡톡히 보았다고 일컬어지는 <써니>의 제작 및 상영 과정에 동반되었던 SNS 활동을 분석해 보는 것이다. 개봉 전, 개봉 초기, 성숙기로 시기를 구분하여 SNS를 통한 구전 활동을 살펴봄으로써, SNS 활동의 성공 사례를 통해 영화 흥행과 관련된 하나의 이정표를 제시하는데 이 글의 의의가 있다.

Well-known e-CRM strategy is to focus on profitable customers and pay less attention to unprofitable ones. Moreover, some researchers recommend not serving unprofitable ones any more. However, it often neglects customers indirect value. Deselecting unprofitable customers can raise the issue of bad word-of-mouth publicity especially in the age of the Internet. Some studies pointed out that a customers decision to buy a product or service is often strongly influenced by others. In this paper, we consider customers' word-of-mouth effect on quality learning of inexperienced customers. We show that firms implementing e-CRM must take the effect into the consideration when deselecting unprofitable customers.

인터넷 상에서 소비자는 최소한의 노력으로 정보를 탐색할 수 있으며, 좀 더 나은 구매의사결정이 가능하게 되었다. 특히 온라인에서 구전마케팅은 소비자의 정보탐색행동과 구매의사결정에 중요한 정보원천으로서 폭넓게 활용되고 있다. 하지만 그 중요성에도 불구하고 온라인에서 구전마케팅에 관한 연구는 매우 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 온라인 쇼핑몰의 콘텐츠 중 게시판을 활용한 구전마케팅의 지각된 유용성에 미치는 영향요인을 규명하고, 지각된 유용성과 정보의 질적 평가와의 관계를 규명하는 것이다. 분석결과 선택 불확실성, 지각된 희생, 사회적 압력 둥의 요인이 커뮤니케이션을 통한 정보의 유용성에 유의미한 영향을 미쳤으나 지식불확실성은 영향을 주지 않았다. 또한 구전마케팅을 통해 교환되는 정보의 유용성을 높게 지각할수록 질적으로도 높은 평가를 하는 것으로 조사되었다. 따라서 온라인에서 사업을 영위하는 기업은 고객이 구전정보를 적극적으로 활용할 수 있도록 웹사이트를 관리하여야 할 것이다.

Purpose - This study aims to examine the influence of social network service (SNS) on the brand image of infant food products; highlight the effects of brand image on the purchasing and word-of-mouth intention; and explore the effects of the purchasing intention on the word-of-mouth intention. Research design, data, and methodology - Based on previous studies, it was found that the fundamental SNS characteristics for infant food products are reliability, interactivity, and informative. Using AMOS 22.0 and structural equation modeling (SEM), 288 questionnaires were surveyed as a statistical method for examining the proposed hypotheses. Results - The analysis shows that reliability and informative have significant impacts on brand image, whereas interactivity does not. Again, the effect of brand image of infant food products on the purchase and word-of-mouth intention is statistically significant. However, the results differ across the "working housewife" and the "full-time housewife" groups. The connection between reliability and brand image was found to be statistically significant in this study. Conclusions - This study analyzes the effects of SNS characteristics on the brand image of infant food products and the effect of the brand image on purchase and word-of-mouth intentions, and provides practical implications for the same.
