Abstract

This study aims to provide basic materials for marketing strategies of cosmeceuticals by investigating customers' recognition and satisfaction about cosmeceuticals targeting 161 adult men and women in their 20s to 50s and living in Seoul, Korea and then analyzing what should be improved for customers. According to the survey, many customers prefer cosmeceuticals due to the professionalism recognized by hospitals, the recommendation by doctors and the scientific image, though the recognition about cosmeceuticals is low among customers in their 40s or older because they are unfamiliar with the term. The survey also shows that the satisfaction about cosmeceuticals is very high in that 94.41% out of 49.85% total users said they were willing to repurchase them, while 72.22% out of 50.15% total nonusers said they wanted to purchase them. The greater knowledge about skin, the higher the interest in cosmetics and the aesthetic practice rate. When it comes to comparing cosmeceutical users and nonusers in choosing cosmetic products, the greater knowledge about skin, more nonusers consider brand recognition (r=.222, p<.05) and cosmetic ingredient (r=.245, p<.005); and more users convenience (r=.162, p<.05). Now that total customers' awareness of cosmeceuticals remains low yet, therefore, it is considered necessary to steadily promote them, enhance repurchase factors, and come up with strategies differentiated from ordinary cosmetics.

본 연구는 서울지역 20-50대 성인 남녀 161명을 대상으로 코스메슈티컬 화장품에 대한 인지 및 만족도를 조사하고 소비자들을 위한 개선 사항을 분석하여 향 후 마케팅 전략을 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 코스메슈티컬이라는 생소한 용어 때문에 40대 이 후 연령에서는 인지도가 떨어지지만 병원에서 사용되는 전문성, 의사의 권유, 과학적인 이미지로 많은 소비자들이 선호하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 전체 49.85%의 사용자 중 94.41%가 재 구매의사를 밟혀 매우 만족도가 높음을 알 수 있고, 50.15%의 비사용자 중 향 후 구매 의사를 밝힌 응답자가 72.22%에 해당하였다. 피부지식도가 높을수록 화장품에 대한 관심과 미적 실천율이 높았으며, 제품을 선택 할 때는 피부지식도가 높을수록 비사용자는 브랜드 인지도(r=.222, p<.05)와 성분(r=.245, p<.005)을 많이 고려함을 알 수 있었고 사용자는 피부지식도가 높을수록 사용의 용이성(r=.162, p<.05)을 중시하는 것을 알 수 있다. 따라서, 아직은 코스메슈티컬 화장품에 대한 전체 소비자들의 인지가 높지 않으므로 지속적인 홍보와 재 구매 요인 강화 및 일반화장품과의 차별화 전략이 필요 할 것으로 생각된다.
