본 연구는 소비자의 과시적 소비성향과 인상관리 수준이 모바일 선물하기에서 쾌락재와 실용재 간의 선택에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 확인함으로써 모바일 메신저 선물하기에서 제품 마케팅에 대한 전략적 제안을 제시하고자 하였다. 온라인 설문조사를 통해 자료를 수집하고 SPSS 23.0을 이용하여 로지스틱 회귀분석을 실시한 결과, 과시적 소비성향이 높은 사람들은 인상관리 수준에 관계없이 모바일 선물에서 실용재보다 쾌락재를 더 많이 선택하였다. 한편 과시적 소비를 하지 않는 사람들은 인상관리 수준이 낮을 때에는 모바일 선물에서 쾌락재보다 실용재를 더 선택한 반면 인상관리 수준이 높을 때에는 실용재와 쾌락재 간 선택에 차이가 없었다. 모바일 선물 제품, 특히 쾌락재 마케팅에서 소비자의 과시적 소비성향과 인상관리를 고려한 전략을 이용하는 것은 도움이 될 것이다. 광고는 소비자의 인정 욕구나 과시 욕구를 이용하여 소구할 수 있다. 나아가, 연령대를 확장하고 선물행동에 영향을 미치는 다른 요소들을 고려하여 추후 연구를 진행할 수 있다.

This study aims to identify the propensity to consume and housing characteristics according to life cycle as the main independent variable. It also tries to understand the consumption power and housing style of each cycle and analyze whether there are differences between each life cycle, ultimately aiming to match the propensity to consume and housing style with each cycle. For empirical analysis, on and off-line surveys of 488 people were collected and analyzed by cross analysis, factor analysis and analysis of variance. The prime research findings are as follows: First of all, factor analysis on propensity to consume showed four main sub-factors as rational consumption, conspicuous consumption, trend consumption, and status consumption. Secondly, current and preferred housing styles ranked from modern, natural, casual, classic and romantic, which proved that people are currently housed in preferred housing styles. Thirdly, in case of housing-related characteristics of life cycles, the size of the house increased as the levels progressed, and then decreased at level 6 when the children grew into adulthood. The majority of the population was paying a monthly rent, a few were leasing, and a very few owned their housing. 58% were living in apartments, but in levels 1-2, more were living in row houses and high-rise residential buildings, while in level 6 it was detached houses. Fourthly, the propensity to consume according to life cycle tended to shift from conspicuous and trend-based consumption to rational consumption as the cycles progressed. Fifthly, the preferred housing styles were modern and natural styles, regardless of life cycle. These study results can be applied to product development and marketing activities based on their accurate analysis of customers' needs, which can thus bring further customer satisfaction.
