본 논문은 성적소구의 패션 POP 광고맥락에서 노출유형과 할인율 메시지 사용에 따른 커뮤니케이션 효과의 차이를 규명하는 데에 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 성적소구유형(완전노출, 반노출, 밀착, 비노출)과 할인율 메시지(유/무)를 집단간 조건으로 상정하고, $4\times2$ 요인설계로 각 조건에 35명씩 무작위로 할당하여 총 280명의 남녀 대학생을 대상으로 실험을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 성적소구 패션 POP 광고의 노출유형에 따라 광고감정, 광고태도, 브랜드 태도에 있어 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타난 반면, 할인율 메시지 적용 유무에 따라서는 유의한 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 광고인지에서 노출유형과 할인율 메시지 사용에 따른 상호작용 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 실제 패션매장의 매출액 제고를 위한 성적소구 패션 POP 광고의 유형과 성적소구 패션 POP 광고에서의 할인율 메시지의 적용 여부에 대해 전략적 시사점을 제공하고 있다.
