Abstract

Optometrists answered that advantages of franchise optical shop were service, system, communication, and successive education, while the disadavantages were monotonous interiors, excessive events, and lack of communication. Optometrists also answered that advantages of independent optical shop were service, and communication, while the disadvantages were poor system, lack of events, poor interiors.

목적: 본 연구는 울산의 안경원 방문 고객과 안경사를 대상으로 프랜차이즈(franchise) 안경원과 소규모 개인 독립 안경원에 대한 인식을 비교 분석하여 앞으로 안경사 및 안경원의 나아가야 할 방향을 제시하고자 하였다. 방법: 울산의 안경원을 방문한 고객 152명과 울산의 안경원 종사자 50명을 대상으로 설문조사하였다. 결과: 고객이 생각하는 프랜차이즈 안경원의 장점은 체계적 시스템과 서비스, 단점으로는 비싼 가격, 고객과의 소통부족 등으로 조사되었다. 개인 독립 안경원의 장점은 고객과의 원활한 소통, 가격, 전문성, 단점으로는 서비스부족, 인테리어 미비, 더딘 트렌드 반영, 시스템, 가격으로 나타났다. 안경사가 생각하는 프랜차이즈 안경원의 장점은 서비스, 시스템, 고객과의 소통, 안경사 교육, 단점으로는 동일한 인테리어, 과도한 이벤트, 고객과의 소통부족 등으로 조사되었다. 개인독립 안경원의 장점은 서비스, 고객과의 소통, 단점으로는 프랜차이즈 안경원에 비해 체계적이지 못한 시스템, 이벤트 부족, 인테리어 미비 등으로 나타났다. 결론: 안경사는 가격경쟁에만 치우칠 것이 아니라 프랜차이즈 안경원과 개인 독립 안경원 각각의 장점을 최대한 살려서 전문성과 신뢰를 바탕으로 정당한 경쟁을 통해 상호 발전할 수 있는 방안을 마련하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 사료된다.
