본 논문은 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 환경에서 기업의 마케팅 전략의 일환으로 RFID를 이용한 구전 마케팅과 이를 용이하게 하는 비즈니스 모델을 제안한다. 그리고 한국 eBay와의 비교실험을 통해 제안하는 비즈니스 모델의 성립가능성을 평가하였다. 소비자 관점의 구전 시나리오와 기업 관점의 구전 시나리오를 통해 기존의 구전 마케팅의 한계점을 제시하였으며, 기존의 구전 마케팅의 특징을 비교, 분석함으로써 유비쿼터스 구전 마케팅의 특징을 도출하였다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 비즈니스 모델은 RFID를 이용하여 기업과 소비자, 소비자와 소비자간의 seamless한 networking을 가능하게 하며, 각 경제 주체의 인센티브(incentive) 체계를 이용하여 기업의 구전 마케팅을 용이하게 한다.

The purpose of this paper is to examine empirically how to balance advertising expenditure before and after launch with regard to the direction of word of mouth in the motion picture industry. The vector auto-regression model is applied to assess the dynamic impact of advertising and word of mouth on sales. Empirical data, including advertising, word of mouth, and sales (the number of entries) of 83 movies are used for analysis. The research results show that for a movie having more positive word of mouth in the pre- and post-launch periods, it is worthwhile to spend the advertising budget in the pre-launch period only and to spare it in post-launch period. However, it is worthwhile to spare the advertising budget in the pre-launch period for movies having less positive word of mouth before and after launch, and to concentrate spending in post-launch period instead. Mangers who handle products and services facing shortened lifecycles, such as games, eBooks, and digital music contents, need to check the quality of pre-launch word of mouth for their advertising budget decisions in the pre- and post-launch periods and spend more of the advertising budget in the post- (pre-) launch period if pre-launch word of mouth is negative (positive). For products and services with a shortened lifecycle, it is recommended to spend more of the advertising budget in the post- (pre-) launch period if pre-launch word of mouth is negative (positive).

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 aimed to understand the influence of visible factors directly shown to and experienced by consumers such as physical evidence, and invisible factors obtained through acquaintances or other experienced consumers such as word-of-mouth, in the discount stores' marketing communication on impulse buying intention and store loyalty. Research Design, Data, and Methodology - This study examined the effect of factors in discount stores' marketing communication, for instance, physical evidence, word-of-mouth, and buying impulse intention. The questionnaire survey resulted in 68 completed questionnaires. Results - Physical evidence and word-of-mouth have a statistically significant positive effect on store loyalty. The results of regression analysis regarding whether visible or invisible factors have more impact showed that word-of-mouth has a statistically significant positive effect on store loyalty. With regard to impulse buying intention, only word-of-mouth was statistically significant. Conclusion These results suggested that visible and invisible factors that appeal to customers are very important. In particular, the results suggested that stores should create invisible factors (e.g., positive word-of-mouth) for their customers.

Purpose - This study examined marketing communication in traditional markets by assessing consumers demonstrating brand loyalty through repeat purchases despite active marketing by competing brands hence, showing that the brand did not lose customers owing to communication. Specifically, this study examined the effects of marketing communication factors in traditional markets upon consumers' store loyalty and to determine consumers' practical and hedonic values, as moderating variables. Moreover, this study determined that both experienced and inexperienced consumers in traditional markets could similarly assess the market and examined the outcome of traditional market development as well as future strategies. Research design, data, methodology - To verify the relationship between marketing communication and store loyalty, and the moderating effects of shopping value, data were collected from 230 consumers in the Gyeonggi Province to test the theoretical model and its hypotheses. Although the field of distribution management typically uses two research methodologies, this study was conducted using empirical methodology. Specifically, analysis of variance and hierarchical regression analysis were used to test the hypotheses. Results - Consumers who had experienced the traditional market placed a greater emphasis on the physical environment or word-of-mouth marketing. Moreover, other factors apart from advertising had a significantly positive influence upon marketing communication sub-factors and store loyalty. Word-of-mouth marketing was found to be more important than other factors, therefore affirmative word-of-mouth marketing was considered important from various viewpoints. The study investigated the moderating effects of hedonic value and practical use value in the relationship between marketing communication sub-factors and store loyalty: The negative influence of publicity, physical environment, and word-of-mouth marketing was considered to be statistically significant. Conclusions - Consumers who made use of the traditional market did not think of the physical environment in an affirmative way, and consumers who did not make use of the traditional market perceived it as having a poor physical environment. However, consumers who engaged in word-of-mouth marketing experienced the traditional market in an affirmative way. Consumers who made use of the traditional market had significantly high hedonic value and/or practical use value, therefore future strategies should encourage consumers to make more use of the traditional market. Consumers who had experienced the traditional market demonstrated strong market loyalty. For consumers who did not make use of the traditional market, marketing communication was likely to influence store loyalty in a different manner from a practical perspective. In other words, marketing communication was needed to develop the traditional market, and consumers who did not make use of the traditional market should be given the opportunity to do so. Consumers having low hedonic values experienced high publicity to have high store loyalty, and consumers who experienced good facilities of the traditional market had high store loyalty (Nam & Jun, 2011). Consumers with low hedonic values as well as those with high hedonic values on the traditional market could have high store loyalty through affirmative word-of-mouth marketing.Therefore, various types of events and strategies were needed to enable consumers to experience the traditional market in an affirmative way.
