This study analyzed the content of special selling events in internet shopping malls to establish academic standards for special selling events as tools for sales promotions and to suggest systematic guidelines for marketers designing special selling events. Based on a content analysis, the titles of special selling events from four internet shopping malls selling women's apparel were analyzed. A total of 692 titles were analyzed. The results are as follow. First, the contents categories of special selling events could be classified into two groups such as 'theme' and 'tool'. Season, product characteristics, style, advice/information, brand, annual/social events, and marketing events were the main content categories that came under the 'theme' group; in addition, the price benefit, free offers, product mix, and marketing technique were the main content categories that came under the 'tool' group. Each main content category was subdivided into several segment content categories. Second, most of the titles were composed of more than two segment content categories that involved various information and benefits; however, the portion of titles composed of only theme related content categories or only tool related content categories was substantial. Furthermore, the theme related content categories were more than the tool related content categories. Third, the usage frequencies of the contents categories were analyzed.

Recently, large online shopping malls are providing image search services as well as text or category searches. However, in the case of an image search service, there is a problem in that the search service cannot be used in the absence of an image. This paper describes the development of a system that allows users to find the clothes they want through hand-drawn images of the style of clothes when they search for clothes in an online clothing shopping mall. The hand-drawing data drawn by the user increases the accuracy of matching through neural network learning, and enables matching of clothes using various object detection algorithms. This is expected to increase customer satisfaction with online shopping by allowing users to quickly search for clothing they are looking for.
