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.

The purpose of this study was to identify the impact of materialism on the attitude toward purchasing foreign luxury brands and the moderating effect of consumer ethnocentrism on this impact. Data were gathered by surveying university students living in Seoul metropolitan area using convenient sampling, and 325 questionnaires were used in the statistical analysis. In analysing data, confirmatory factor analysis and path analysis were conducted using structural equation modeling. Results showed that success factor of materialism gave rise to negative attitude toward purchasing foreign luxury brands while centrality factor of materialism spurred positive attitude. Consumer ethnocentrism also showed a significant effect as a moderator on the relationship between materialism and attitude: The relationship between materialism and attitude was stronger among subjects who had lower consumer ethnocentric tendencies than among subjects who had higher consumer ethnocentric tendencies.

Purpose: As there are more cases of forged brands, change of awareness is urgently required at the governmental, corporate and consumer levels. Therefore, this study aims to positively analyze the correlation between forged brand quality and purchase intentions perceived by consumers based on types of preference of luxury brands. Methods: In order to achieve the above purpose, this study derived a model of causal relationships among the forged brand quality, preference of typified luxury brands, and purchase intentions. SPSS 20.0 was applied for data processing. Frequency analysis ad descriptive statistical analysis were conducted for basic data and measurement tools were verified through feasibility and reliability analyses. Multiple regression analysis was conducted to verify the hypotheses. Results: Based on the results, only utilitarian quality positively (+) affected non-intrinsic preference while its impact on intrinsic preference was negative (-). On the other hand, hedonic quality was significantly positive (+) but the impact was not significant. Both utilitarian and hedonic qualities had significantly positive (+) impacts on the intentions to purchase forged brands with the impact of hedonic quality relatively higher. Conclusion: These results clarified that the overall consumption of Korean consumers had not entered its maturity, yet. Also, Korean consumers regard forged brands as alternatives to luxury brands mostly because of hedonic quality. As hedonic quality is added, Korean consumers' purchase intentions became higher. Based on these results, this study suggested the measures to be taken for the country to develop into an advanced country in the luxury market which is becoming more global and overcome the barrier of its old trend in imitation at the four levels of manufacturers, distributors, government, and consumers.

This study examines social identity and self-identity as the antecedents of the theory of planned behavior (TPB) model in predicting purchase intention of certified coffee, whereas perceived trustworthiness (PT) is evaluated whether it directly affects intention and/or indirectly through attitude. In addition, ethics and luxury are investigated as the salient beliefs affecting attitude formation in this regard. A face-to-face survey was conducted with 727 coffee consumers in Thailand. Confirmatory factor analysis is applied to assess the adequacy of the model, followed by structural equation modeling to evaluate the hypotheses proposed for the relationships between constructs in an extended TPB model. The results confirm that self-identity is the most influential antecedent on attitude when compared to social identity, and attitude, in turn, is the strongest determinant in predicting purchase intention. PT has a direct positive effect on purchase intention, meanwhile, ethical, luxury beliefs, and PT are confirmed to portrait the attitude formation. As such the marketing campaigns can address manipulating consumers' beliefs on both ethical and luxury aspects as well as PT, along with consumers' social identity and self-identity to fortify a positive attitude toward certified coffee. Then the actual purchase behavior can be foreseen based on empirical evidence.

명품브랜드의 대중화에 따라 명품브랜드에 대한 다양한 연구들이 진행되어 오고 있지만 기존 연구들은 명품브랜드 구매행동에 영향을 미치는 변수를 규명하는 데 초점을 맞추고 있다. 본 연구는 명품브랜드 소비자들이 타인에게 인정받기 위한 수단과 자아만족의 수단으로 명품브랜드를 소비한다는 관점에서 소비자와 명품브랜드간의 관계형성경로를 개발하고 브랜드 애착과 브랜드 몰입을 인과모델의 주요 구성개념으로 제시하고 있다. 또한 각 구성개념간 인과관계에서 조절초점의 조절효과도 살펴보았다. 연구결과를 살펴보면 브랜드 개성의 5차원 가운데 '생동감', '성실성' 그리고 '세련됨'이 소비자와 명품브랜드간의 동일시에 통계적으로 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 '성실성' 요인이 브랜드 동일시에 상대적으로 가장 큰 영향력을 미치는 것으로 나타났는데, 이는 국내 소비자들이 명품브랜드의 소비시 주위의 부정적 시각을 피하고 사회적 바람직성(social desirability)을 추구하는 성향이 있기 때문으로 볼 수 있다. 다음으로 명품브랜드에 동일시를 느끼는 소비자는 명품브랜드에 대해 애착의 관계를 형성하며 형성된 애착은 브랜드 몰입으로 이어지는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 명품브랜드에 동일시를 느끼는 소비자는 해당 명품브랜드를 통해 자아표현 욕구를 충족시킴으로써 정서적 유대관계를 형성하고 이를 지속적으로 유지하려는 것으로 해석할 수 있다. 마지막으로 브랜드 동일시-브랜드 애착-브랜드 몰입의 인과관계에서 조절초점 유형의 조절효과를 살펴 본 결과 방어초점지향의 소비자 집단에서 인과 경로계수가 더욱 높게 나타났다. 이는 관계를 의식하는 성향이 높은 소비자일수록 명품브랜드와의 관계단절로 인한 손실에 대해서 민감하게 반응한다는 것을 시사한다.

This study examines the relationship between social media advertisement and customer interest in the context of luxury brands. Further, this study investigates the effective ways to utilize visual types (pictorial advertisement and video advertisement) and contents types (website link and hash-tag) in social media advertising by proposing a time-series model to estimate the long-term effect of social media advertising on social search. We find that the pictorial advertisements are more effective than video advertisements, which provides a different result from previous existing research. In addition, advertisements using hashtags are more effective than web links due to efficiency of the search feature. Finally, since the number of brand fans also have a positive effect on advertising interest, it is essential to utilize social media advertising for the enhancement of customers' interests. Confirming that the effectiveness of social media advertising varies depending on how the visual contents and text are presented, this research can help marketing managers to assess predicted outcomes of using various methods of social media advertising.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of perceived fit and brand transfer on extension evaluation in luxury fashion brands. The instrument for this research was a self-administered questionnaire based on a previously developed scale. The variables addressed in this scale included perceived fit, brand value for both parent brand (clothing) and extension brand (home line), extension brand association, and purchase intention of the product in extension brands. The participants in this research comprised of 215 female consumers between the ages of 19 and 51 demographically distributed nationwide. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, paired t-test, factor analysis, and regression analysis via SPSS 12.0. Findings showed that brand value consisted of two factors: cognitive and hedonic value in luxury fashion brands. Parent brand value was significantly related to perceived fit with a positive effect on brand association and hedonic value in extension brands. With respect to brand transfer, cognitive value of the parent brand increased the extension brand's cognitive value, while hedonic value of the parent brand increased the extension brand's hedonic value. In addition, purchase intention of the product in the extension brands was determined by the perceived fit and hedonic value of extension brands. This study also discusses the managerial implications for marketers in developing effective luxury brand extensions into new product categories, which leads to a synergy effect in building brand equity in the luxury fashion market.

본 연구는 명품 브랜드관련 국내기업들의 차별적인 마케팅 활동방안 및 전략을 제시하는데 목적을 두고, 명품의 소비가치와 사전지식 및 지각된 위험 정도를 소비자의 특성변인으로 도입하여, 명품 브랜드가 가격을 인상할 때 소비자 특성별로 구매의도에 차이가 있는지를 규명하였다. 첫째, 소비가치에 따른 구매의도는 독특성 및 과시적 가치 추구집단과 품질 및 쾌락적 가치 추구집단에서는 긍정적 구매의도를 보이고 있는 반면에 사회적 가치 추구집단은 부정적 구매의도를 보이며 서로 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째. 지각된 위험에 따른 구매의도의 차이는 없는 상황에서 사전지식에 따른 구매의도는 사전지식이 높은 집단은 긍정적 구매의도를 보이고 있고 사전지식이 낮은 집단은 부정적 구매의도를 보이며 서로 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 소비자특성 변인들의 상호작용효과에 따른 분석결과, 독특성 및 과시적 가치를 추구하면서 사전지식이 높은 집단과 품질 및 쾌락적 가치를 추구하면서 지각된 위험이 높은 집단에서만 긍정적 구매의도를 보이고 있다. 이러한 결과는 명품브랜드의 소비가 과거와 달리 일반 소비자들로 확대되고 있는 시장상황에서 명품브랜드를 지향하는 국내기업들에게 제품 및 가격 전략을 타겟 특성에 따라 다르게 접근하는 것이 기존 명품브랜드들과의 차별화 및 시장확대를 위한 효과적인 방안이라는 사실을 시사하고 있다.

The millennial generation, which has emerged as one of the strongest influence and consumption power, pursues happiness of the present centering on "I"; consumes luxury products for themselves. The purpose of this study was to evaluate how the narcissism and materialism of the millennial generation affect the compensatory consumption of luxury products in negative situations and the moderating effect of self-control. This study included 315 millennial males and females living in Seoul and Gyeonggi area. Frequency analysis, reliability analysis, multiple regression analysis, and hierarchical regression analysis were conducted using SPSS 25.0 statistical program. Based on our findings, narcissism and materialism had a statistically significant effect on compensatory consumption under positive situations. However, while materialism had a statistically significant effect on compensatory consumption under negative situations, narcissism did not have a statistically significant effect on compensatory consumption under negative situations. Notably, self-control had a moderating effect in the influence of materialism on compensatory consumption under negative situations; narcissism did not. This study holds academic significance as the concept of compensatory consumption and self-control can be applied to the apparel study. Moreover, this study provides practically significant ideas on compensatory consumption and therefore marketing of luxury brands, based on consumers' characteristics.

Purpose: This research examines how people react to nonconforming behavior such as entering a luxury boutique wearing gym clothes rather than an elegant outfit or wearing red sneakers in a professional setting. Nonconforming behaviors, as costly and visible signals, can act as a particular form of conspicuous consumption and lead to a positive inference of status and competence in the eyes of others. Research design, data, and methodology: A series of studies demonstrate that people confer higher status and competence rather than conforming individuals using 2-way ANOVA through employees in luxury stores and students at university. Results: According to the empirical studies, observers who witness the nonconformity behavior have positive inferences of status and competence rather than conformity behavior. These positive inferences derived from signals of nonconformity are moderated by individual differences in prior knowledge and regulatory focus. Conclusions: Through three empirical studies, observers who witnessed role-breaking in prestigious and professional situations found that the individuals who performed the nonconformity behavior had higher status and competence rather than conformity behavior. Even in Korea, a collectivist culture, observers who witnessed nonconformity behavior showed that they gave higher evaluations to the people who behaved informally.
