본 연구는 커피전문점의 서비스 품질 요인 중 사회문화성이 새로운 커피 비즈니스의 주요 특성으로 대두됨을 인식하고, 이를 통해 카페의 브랜드 이미지와 충성도의 향상방안을 모색해보고자 함을 연구목적으로 한다. 분석대상은 전문브랜드 카페와 지역브랜드 및 개인카페를 분류한다. 분석 결과, 첫째, 커피전문점의 서비스 품질 중 신뢰성, 확신성, 전문성, 접근성, 사회문화성이 브랜드 이미지를 향상시키며, 확신성, 전문성이 브랜드 충성도에 향상요인으로 작용하며, 브랜드 이미지는 브랜드 충성도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 서비스 품질 중 사회문화성은 브랜드 이미지에는 강한 영향요인이 되지만 브랜드 충성도에는 직접적인 영향을 미치는 요인은 아닌 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 커피서비스 품질의 브랜드 충성도간의 관계에서 브랜드 이미지는 신뢰성에는 완전매개효과를 나타내며, 확신성, 전문성, 접근성, 사회문화성에 대해서는 부분 매개효과를 나타내며, 대응성과 공감성에 대해서는 전혀 매개효과로 작용하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 커피전문점의 서비스 품질과 브랜드 이미지간의 관계에 대한 커피전문점 유형의 조절효과를 분석한 결과, 전국 프랜차이즈는 신뢰성, 확신성, 접근성이 긍정적 향상요인으로 작용하며, 사회문화성은 도리어 브랜드 이미지는 감소시키는 것으로 나타났다. 반면, 개인카페는 전문성과 사회문화성이 브랜드 이미지 향상에 주요요인으로 작용하며, 지역 프랜차이즈의 경우는 전국 프랜차이즈와 유사하지만 대응성, 전문성에 대한 서비스 품질 향상이 브랜드 이미지 향상에 긍정적인 향상효과요인으로 작용한 것으로 나타났다. 결과적으로 전국 프랜차이즈 카페는 서비스 품질 중 접근성과 확신성을 통해 브랜드 이미지와 브랜드 충성도를 높이는 전략이 우선적이다. 반면, 지역 프랜차이즈 카페의 경우는 서비스 품질 중 확신성이 강화되고, 서비스 전문성과 접근성을 통해서 더욱 브랜드 이미지와 브랜드 충성도를 향상시킬 수 있음을 알 수 있다. 반면, 지역기반의 개인카페들은 전국단위의 프랜차이즈나 지역프랜차이즈 카페들보다도 전문성 강화가 중요하며, 사회문화성을 강조하는 서비스 전략을 통해 고객들로 하여금 브랜드 충성도를 높이는 전략이 필요하다.

Hashtags (#) have received a great deal of attention from academia and industry as an effective digital tool for engaging social media users and facilitating electronic word-of-mouth for brands. We delved into motivations concerning people's brand-related hashtag-posting behavior on social media. The findings revealed three motivations for posting brand-related hashtags on social media: social acceptance, brand altruism, and incentive seeking. Additionally, we examined the relationships between motivations and brand relationship variables. The results showed that social acceptance and brand-related altruism predicted all of the five relationship variables (i.e., brand attitude, brand trust, brand affective and calculative commitment and brand loyalty), while incentive-seeking predicted brand calculative commitment and brand loyalty. The findings of the study provide some meaningful insights into the development of brand communication strategies and help marketers capitalize on social media platforms to achieve higher user involvement.

Conspicuous consumption is often investigated in Korea and consumers purchase a product to publicly display economic power or social status. The existing studies argue that brand loyalty and luxury brand preferences escalate conspicuous consumption, and it is important to identify different visual perception to understand irrational consumers' behavior. Car emblem as brands' visual identity represents the brand's image, mission and message. Irrational consumers thus are expected have different visual perception to the emblem or logo. To understand the impact of irrational consumer behavior on visual perception, this study explored how brand loyalty and luxury brand preferences impact on the visual perception of car emblems between Korean domestic brand and imported brand. This study used eye tracking technology to measure the respondents' attention on an emblem of the cars. Eye tracking tools analyze fixations and measure the attention on a specific area of interests (AOI). This study explored the maintaining time and frequency on AOI, as well as explored the size of pupil to identify the respondents' attention on the AOI. In this experiment, the logos of domestic cars (i.e., Hyundai and Kia) and foreign cars (i.e., Mercedes-Benz and BMW) were swapped to see how irrational consumer behavior impact on visual perception of car emblem.

Customer-company (C-C) identification is the perceived fit between the identities of a consumer and an organization. If a consumer identifies with a company that places a high priority on being socially responsible, a consumer who also values social responsibility may support and patronize that business because of the link between something that is important to both them and the company. Because C-C identification may explain the success of cause-related marketing (CRM) in the fashion industry, we investigated the effect of an image resulting from CRM on ratings of brand attributes (e.g., distinctiveness, credibility, attractiveness), identification with the brand, attitude toward the brand, and customer loyalty. Participants also responded to open-ended questions reflecting their rationale for their ratings of brand attributes. Data were collected from a convenience sample of undergraduates (n = 228) enrolled at Midwestern University in the U.S. Structural equation modeling revealed that as ratings of the social responsibility of the cause-related marketing effort increased so did perceptions of the brand's distinctiveness, credibility, and attractiveness. Participants identified with a brand when they rated the brand as attractive. Participants' identification with a brand had a significant impact on attitudes toward the brand and customer loyalty (e.g., purchase intention, willingness to spread positive word-of-mouth). Content analyses of open-ended responses supported the idea that brand images stemming from CRM exert an important influence on consumer's ratings of brand attributes. Fashion marketers interested in cause-related marketing will find success with efforts that increase customer identification.

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.
