Mobile fashion apps present much opportunity for marketers to engage consumers, however not all apps provide enough functions for their targeted audience. This study aims to determine how mobile fashion apps can be used to build brand community with consumer engagement. Qualitative data on fashion mobile apps were collected from the Apple app store and Android market during the spring and summer of 2015. A total of 110 fashion mobile apps were collected;, 50 apps were identified as apparel brands that either manufacture or sell apparel to consumers, which we categorized as "brand" fashion apps, and the remaining 60 were categorized as "non-brand" fashion apps. The result of the study can be summarized as below. The 60 non-brand fashion apps were grouped into 5 app types: shopping, searching, sharing, organizational, and informational. The main functions are for informational use and shopping needs, since at least half (31 apps) are used for either retrieving information or for shopping. However, in contrast, social networking and location were infrequent and not commonly utilized by these apps. The most common type of non-brand fashion apps available were shopping apps;, many shopping apps enable users to shop from several different websites and save their items into one universal shopping cart so that they only check out once. Most of these apps are informational and help consumers make more informed decisions on purchases;, in addition many offer location services to help consumers find these items in store. While these apps perform several functions, they do not link to social media. The 50 brand apps were grouped into 5 brand types: athletic, casual, fast fashion, luxury, and retailer. These apps were also checked for attributes to determine their functionality. The result shows that the main functions of brand fashion apps are for information (82% of the 50 apps) as well as location searching (72% of 50 apps). Conversely, these apps do not offer any photo sharing, and very few have organizational or community functions. Fashion mobile apps and m-marketing elements: To build brand community, mobile apps can be designed to motivate consumer's engagement with brands. The motivations of fashion mobile apps are useful in developing fashion mobile apps. Entertainment motives can be fulfilled with multimedia attributes, functionality motives are satisfied with organizational and location-based features, information motives with informational service, socialization with community and social network, learning and intellectual stimulation from informational attributes, and trend following through photo sharing. The 8 key attributes of mobile apps can correspond to the 4 m-marketing elements (i.e., Informative content, multimedia, interactions, and product promotions) that are further intertwined with m-branding elements. App Attributes and M-Marketing aim to Build Brand Community;, the eight key attributes can impact on 4 m-branding elements, which further contribute to building brand community by affecting consumers' perceptions of brands preference and advocacy, and their likelihood to be loyal.

정보기술의 급격한 발전은 새로운 시장환경인 인터넷 쇼핑몰의 증가에 영향을 미쳤다. 인터넷 쇼핑몰은 소비자 관여와 같은 소비자 행동을 변화시켰고, 이에 따라 마케터들은 인터넷 상에서 소비자들이 의류제품을 구매할 때 중요시하는 제품 평가기준 및 점포 평가기준에 관심을 가지게 되었다. 따라서 본 연구는 인터넷 쇼핑몰 이용자의 소비자관여와 인터넷 사용능력에 따라 소비자 집단을 분류하여 인터넷 상에서 각 소비자 집단에 따른 의류제품 및 웹 서비스 평가기준의 차이를 알아보았다. 본 연구의 연구대상은 인터넷 쇼핑몰에서 의류제품 구매경험이 있으며, 수도권에 거주하는 $20\sim30$대 성인남녀로 판단표본 추출하였다. 설문지 방식을 사용해 자료를 수집, 총 305부를 분석에 사용하였으며, 소비자관여와 의류제품 평가기준 및 웹 서비스 평가기준을 측정하기 위한 변수들은 기존 선행연구들에서 조사한 후 본 연구에 맞도록 재구성하였다. 자료의 분석은 요인분석, 일원분산분석, Duncan test를 실시하였다. 인터넷 쇼핑몰 이용자의 소비자집단 유형은 소비자관여와 인터넷 사용능력을 기준으로 네 집단으로 분류하였으며, 쇼핑몰 이용자의 소비자집단에 따른 의류제품 평가기준의 차이를 알아본 결과, 심미적, 품질성능적, 그리고 외재적 기준 모두에서 집단간 유의미한 차이가 나타났다. 또한 인터넷 쇼핑몰 소비자집단 유형에 따른 웹 서비스 평가기준의 차이는 신뢰성, 제품관련, 거래 후 만족, 그리고 판촉/정책 기준에서 집단간 유의미한 차이가 나타났다. 의류제품 및 웹 서비스 평가기준 모두에서 고관여고능력 집단과 고관여저능력 집단은 동질집단으로서 다른 집단에 비해 두 평가기준 모두를 중요시하는 것으로 나타났다. 즉 고관여 소비자들은 인터넷 쇼핑 시 발생할 수 있는 여러 가지 위험요소들에 대해 크게 지각하고 있어 평가기준 모두를 중요시하므로, 인터넷 쇼핑몰은 고관여 소비자집단을 만족시킬 수 있는 의류제품을 구비하도록 해야 하며, 그들이 느끼는 위험요소를 찾아 없애는데 주력하여야 할 것이다. 또한 신속 정확한 약속의 이행 등을 통해 쇼핑몰 업체의 이미지를 향상시켜야 할 것이고 거래 후에도 제품의 교환이나 반품 및 환불에 대해서도 끝까지 책임을 짐으로써 고객에게 만족을 주어야 한다.

전자상거래에서 소비자들의 구매 의사결정에 판매 제품을 이미 구매하여 사용한 고객의 리뷰가 중요한 영향을 미치고 있다. 전자상거래 업체들은 고객들이 제품 리뷰를 남기도록 유도하고 있으며, 구매고객들도 적극적으로 자신의 경험을 공유하고 있다. 한 제품에 대한 고객 리뷰가 너무 많아져서 구매하려는 제품의 모든 리뷰를 읽고 제품의 장단점을 파악하는 것은 무척 힘든 일이 되었다. 전자상거래 업체들과 연구자들은 텍스트 마이닝을 활용하여 리뷰들 중에서 유용한 리뷰들의 속성을 파악하거나 유용한 리뷰와 유용하지 않은 리뷰를 미리 분류하는 노력을 수행하고 있다. 고객들에게 유용한 리뷰를 필터링하여 전달하는 방안이다. 본 연구에서는 문서-단어 매트릭스에서 단어의 제거 기준으로 온라인 고객 리뷰가 유용한 지, 그렇지 않은지를 구분하는 문제에서 단어들이 유용 리뷰 집합과 유용하지 않은 리뷰집합에 중복하여 등장하는 정도를 측정한 중립도를 제시한다. 제시한 중립도를 희소성과 함께 분석에 활용하여 제거할 단어를 선정한 후에 각 분류 알고리즘의 성과를 비교하였다. 최적의 성과를 보이는 중립도를 찾았으며, 희소성과 중립도에 따라 단어를 선택적으로 제거하였다. 실험은 Amazon.com의 'Cellphones & Accessories', 'Movies & TV program', 'Automotive', 'CDs & Vinyl', 'Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry' 제품 분야 고객 리뷰와 사용자들의 리뷰에 대한 평가를 활용하였다. 전체 득표의 수가 4개 이상인 리뷰 중에서 제품 카테고리 별로 유용하다고 판단되는 1,500개의 리뷰와 유용하지 않다고 판단되는 1,500개의 리뷰를 무작위로 추출하여 연구에 사용하였다. 데이터 집합에 따라 정확도 개선 정도가 상이하며, F-measure 기준으로는 두 알고리즘에서 모두 희소성과 중립도에 기반하여 단어를 제거하는 방안이 더 성과가 높았다. 하지만 Information Gain 알고리즘에서는 Recall 기준으로는 5개 제품 카테고리 데이터에서 언제나 희소성만을 기준으로 단어를 제거하는 방안의 성과가 높았으며, SVM에서는 전체 단어를 활용하는 방안이 Precision 기준으로 성과가 더 높았다. 따라서, 활용하는 알고리즘과 분석 목적에 따라서 단어 제거 방안을 고려하는 것이 필요하다.

With the growing preference among Chinese consumers for purchasing beauty products through social media networks (SNS), influencer marketing has recently emerged as a crucial strategy for maximizing word-of-mouth effects. This study aims to ascertain the impact of SNS beauty influencers' characteristics on trustworthiness and consumers' intentions to engage in word-of-mouth promotion. Furthermore, the study seeks to explore the moderating role of consumer involvement in the relationship between SNS beauty influencer characteristics and the trust consumers place in them. As part of an empirical analysis, an online survey was administered to 259 Chinese female consumers who had previously purchased beauty products through influencers on SNS. The data gathered were scrutinized by conducting multiple and hierarchical regression analysis to test the proposed hypotheses. The findings indicated that the attributes of "expertise,"' "intimacy," and "homogeneity" in SNS beauty influencers significantly affect influencer trust, whereas "charm" does not have a significant impact. Moreover, consumer involvement was found to moderate the relationship between SNS beauty influencer characteristics (expertise, intimacy, charm, and homogeneity) and influencer trust. Additionally, influencer trust positively influenced the intention to engage in word-of-mouth activities. These findings signify that leveraging influencers possessing qualities such as expertise, intimacy, and homogeneity can help enhance product exposure, popularity, and sales of the beauty industry. This study contributes valuable insights into the strategic utilization of influencer characteristics in the beauty industry and digital marketing, highlighting their pivotalrole in consumer engagement and the success of marketing strategies.
