Abstract

This study was conducted to provide exportation strategy by surveying on preference of Japanese consumers on cut chrysanthemum exported. The survey was conducted two times by a local survey company in Japan, and the surveys were conducted largely on chrysanthemums for casual flowers and the altar. After departmentalizing Japanese consumers per groups the result were analyzed through conjoint and cluster methods, flower colors and shape were used relatively higher rate for selection criteria of flowers in every group in the case of casual flowers. Group 1 comprised of 60 year-old housewives who reside in a small city with high school diploma and annual income less than 300 million yen, and group 2 of 40 year-old housewives who are small city residents with high school diplomas and annual income of 300 million yen show higher rate of use in flower shape than colors. Another group 3 whose members are 50 year-old housewives, small city residents with high school diplomas and annual income of 600 million yen showed higher rate of use colors than the shape for selection criteria of flowers. The consumption characteristics according to the ages of the consumers showed a pronounced tendency. The 40-50 year-old housewives preferred single flowers packed with other flowers, and the 60 year-old housewives double flowers packed with only chrysanthemums. In flower color, the 50-60 year-old housewives preferred white and yellow flowers, and the 40 year-old housewives pink and yellow flowers. Therefore, there are needs for development strategy of new products considering the consumption characteristics of flower shape and color according to the ages of consumer. After analyzing the chrysanthemums for altar by departmentalization of Japanese consumers, every group showed relative higher rate of use for flower shape for selection criteria of flowers. According to the analysis on the consumption characteristics, group 1 which is comprised of 30-40 year-old housewives who reside in small city with high school diplomas and income less than 300 million yen, and the group 2 of 20 year-old housewives who reside in small city with college diplomas and annual income less than 300 million yen. They are very sensitive to the price of the products while the group 3 of 50 year-old housewives who reside in small city with high school diplomas and annual income less than 300 million yen are insensitive to the price. The 30-50 year-old housewives preferred white and pink flowers, and the 20 year-old housewives yellow and pink flowers. In flower shape, the 50 year-old housewives preferred anemone shape, the 30-40 year-old housewives double shape, and the 20 year-old housewives pompon shapes. Therefore, the white, double flowers for the 30-40 year-old housewives and the yellow, pompon flowers for the 20 year-old housewives are needed to be created at the lowest cost, while the white, anemone flowers are needed to created at higher cost with high quality. In light of these results, it is considered that we should understand the types of purchasing products through consumption characteristics of Japanese consumers. Also we should plan, create market-oriented and consumer-oriented products, and should export them in order to expand more exportation.

본 연구의 목적은 일본 소비자들의 국화 구매 특성을 조사하여 기호에 맞는 국화 제품을 생산하고 한국산 국화의 수출을 확대하는데 있다. 2차례에 걸친 설문 조사를 일본에 소재한 전문 리서치 기관에 대행하여 실시하였고, 불단용 국화와 캐주얼 플라워를 대상으로 조사를 하여 컨조인트 및 군집분석을 하였다. 설문조사결과, 캐주얼 플라워의 경우 화색, 화형, 포장형태 순으로 높은 효용치를 보여주었고, 흰색겹꽃 형태의 국화로만 포장된 상품을 가장 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 군집분석 결과, 캐주얼 플라워는 모든 군집에 대하여 화색과 화형이 상대적으로 높은 효용치를 보여주었다. 다만 60대 전업주부, 고졸, 연소득 300만엔, 소도시에 거주하는 군집1과 40대 전업주부, 고졸, 연소득 300만엔, 소도시에 거주하는 군집2의 고객인 경우에는 화색보다 화형에 높은 효용치를 보여주었고, 50대 전업주부, 고졸, 600만엔대 연소득, 소도시에 거주하는 군집3의 고객은 화형보다 화색에 높은 효용치를 보여주었다. 따라서 군집별로 고객군을 구분하여 신상품 개발전략을 수립하는 것이 필요하다. 구매특성을 연령대별로 분석한 결과, 40대 및 50대는 홑꽃에 다른 품목(또는 품종)의 꽃과 함께 포장한 것, 60대는 겹꽃의 국화 단일품목으로만 포장한 상품을 선호하였다. 화색의 경우 50대 및 60대는 흰색과 노란색 국화, 40대는 분홍색과 노란색 국화를 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 캐주얼 플라워의 경우 소비자 연령대별로 화형과 화색 등의 속성에서 뚜렷한 구매차이가 보여졌으며, 이를 고려한 국화수출상품 개발 전략이 필요한 것으로 사료되었다. 불단용 국화는 화형, 화색, 가격 순으로 높은 효용치를 보여주었으며 298엔의 노란색 폼폰 형태 상품을 가장 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 불단용 국화를 군집 분석한 결과 모든 군집이 화형에 대해 상대적으로 높은 효용치를 보여주었다. 구매특성 분석에 의하면 30-40대 전업주부, 고졸, 연소득 300만엔 미만, 소도시에 거주하는 군집1과 20대 전업주부, 대졸, 연소득 300만엔 미만, 소도시에서 생활하는 군집2의 고객은 가격에 매우 민감한 반면에 50대 전업주부,고졸, 연소득 300만엔 미만, 소도시에 거주하는 군집3은 가격에 둔감한 특성을 보였다. 구매특성을 연령대별로 분석한 결과, 30-50대는 흰색과 분홍색의 꽃, 20대는 노란색과 분홍색의 꽃을 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 화형은 연령대별로 50대는 아네모네, 30-40대는 겹꽃, 20대는 폼폰형을 선호하였다. 따라서, 30-40대가 선호하는 흰색의 겹꽃과 20대가 선호하는 노란색의 폼폰형 상품에 대해서는 저가의 전략이 필요한 반면 50대가 선호하는 흰색 아네모네형 상품에 대해서는 고가의 전략을 수립하는 것이 필요한 것으로 판단되었다. 이와 같은 연구 결과를 바탕으로 지속적인 수출시장 조사를 통한 맞춤형 상품 개발과 홍보 강화가 무엇보다 필요할 것으로 사료되었다.
