Abstract

One of the most conspicuous characteristics of a business model that pursues expanding customer relationship is that it tries to lock in customers by encouraging them to repeat purchase in the long-term with the help of "Follow" function in Social Networking Service (SNS), which enables producers to automatically register the customers as potentially important ones and to offer them customized marketing services. In the value chain of the agriculture sector, producers of agricultural products can use SNS functions to provide loyal customers with valuable information and experiences such as the real-time information of their farm and products, hidden stories about the whole process from seeding to harvesting, and the storage and cooking methods of their products. These activities help the producers invoke customers' desire to live in the farm and to grow the products themselves. They also raise the accessibility of the producers' websites as customers are able to share a variety of news and knowledge such as the release of new products. This means that the producers's websites are now functioning to enable the producers to perform sales and promotion related activities. It is a big leap from the traditional e-commerce business model where sales and promotion of a product were separated and could be connected only through outside links. This two-way, viral characteristics of marketing services using SNS facilitate customers to share product information and their purchase experience with each other, which leads to more effective and efficient communication within the customer community.

구매자와의 관계지속을 위한 관계 확산형 비즈니스 모델의 가장 큰 특징은 한번이라도 물품을 구매한 고객은 SNS(Social Networking Service)의 팔로우(Follow) 기능을 이용하여 자동으로 단골고객으로 등록하여, 구매자와 생산자와의 관계가 일회성에 그치지 않고 향후에도 지속될 수 있게 하여 잠재고객이 되고, 장기적으로 재구매가 이루어지게 한다. 단골이 된 고객에게 생산자는 신상품 출하 시 객관적인 물품정보 외에 재배하는 동안의 농장 모습이나 농작물의 성장과정 등 생생한 근황과, 파종에서 수확까지의 숨겨진 이야기를 통해 자신이 농사지으며 전원생활을 하는듯한 감성을 자극한다. 또한, 생산자는 저장법이나 요리법 등의 다양한 사용법을 안내하며 새로운 물품을 추천하거나 홍보를 할 수 있다. 이러한 장점은 기존의 전자상거래에서 상품의 판매와 홍보가 분리되어 링크를 통해 외부로 연결되어야 하는 문제에서 벗어나 판매와 홍보가 하나의 계정 안에서 수행하도록 하여 사이트 접근성을 높여준다. 또한 구매자간에도 상품을 추천하고 소식을 확산하게 하여 구매자는 구매한 상품에 대한 구매경험을 공유하고, 추천, 구매후기 작성 및 기존 구매후기를 재배포하여 서로 알지 못하던 구매자 사이의 소통을 가능하게 한다는 것이다.
