Abstract

Price is an important marketing issue in current competitive environment characterized by various distribution channels such as economic circumstance and the Internet. Many companies, for their best profits, use a price discrimination strategy such as price discount that reinforces consumer's purchasing behavior and they employ advertising strategy by presenting reference price with information of price discount in advertisements. Accordingly, many research verifies the advertising effects of presented reference price in advertisements, this study tries to expand the existing study area which is limited on reference price of product by examining the its effects on service area. It also aims to verify the effects of reference price advertisements by the level of service reputation. For this experiment, a factorial design with service reputation and presented method of reference pricewas used. The result of this study is that attitude toward price and use intention on presented reference price in service advertisements are higher than not presented it. In the case of high service reputation, advertising effect on presented reference price in service advertisements are greater than presented price discount rates in service advertisements. And in the case of low service reputation, advertising effects can be much greater by just presented reference price in service advertisements. Therefore, in service advertisements, strategic views on presented methods of reference price by the level of service reputation are essentially needed.

경제적 환경의 변화와 인터넷 등의 다양한 유통경로 등장으로 인해 경쟁이 심화되면서 가격은 아주 강력한 마케팅 수단이 되고 있다. 이에 따라 가격할인 등의 가격전략을 통해 소비자의 구매행동을 강화하는 현상을 볼 수 있는데, 많은 광고에서 가격할인 정보를 제시하면서 준거가격을 함께 제시하는 전략을 활발하게 사용하고 있다. 이에 따라 많은 연구들이 준거가격제시에 따른 광고효과를 검증하였는데, 본 연구에서는 기존의 제품에 한정된 준거가격 연구에서 확장하여 서비스 경우에 준거가격을 제시함에 따른 효과를 검증하고, 서비스의 명성에 따라 준거가격제시 방법에 따른 광고효과의 차이를 검증한다. 서비스의 명성과 준거가격제시 방법에 따른 실험을 설계하여 분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과, 서비스 광고에서 준거가격을 제시하는 경우에 가격태도 및 이용의도가 높은 것으로 나타났는데, 서비스 명성이 높은 경우에는 준거가격을 제시하는 것 보다 할인율을 표시하는 것이 더 효과가 높으며, 서비스 명성이 낮은 경우에는 준거가격 제시만으로 광고효과가 높아짐을 볼 수 있다. 이를 통해 서비스 경우에는 그 명성에 따라 준거가격을 제시하는 방법과 관련한 전략적 관점이 필요함을 알 수 있다.
