Abstract

Companies are now using SNS as an online marketing channel and increasingly using it for customer relationship management(CRM). Although companies are actively using social media for marketing, language study brands in South Korea are using social media marketing in widely different ways. Among various components of social media marketing activities, this study analyzed the effects of informativeness, content suitability, and recency of social media marketing on consumers from the perspectives of brand equity and purchase intent. In the results, components of social media marketing activities had significant effects on brand equity, in the order of recency, content suitability, and informativeness. Second, brand equity and consumer purchase intent had significant correlation. And having a child also influenced purchase intent. The results of this study can be used as basic data for research on social media marketing of language schools and propose a theoretical direction for future research in the field as there is little academic data related to the subject.

기업들이 온라인 마케팅 채널로 SNS를 이용하고 있으며 나아가 소셜을 통한 고객관계관리(소셜CRM)의 영역으로 발전시키고 있는 추세이다. 이처럼 사회 전반적으로 소셜 미디어를 통한 기업들의 마케팅이 활발한 상황이지만 국내 어학 브랜드들의 소셜 미디어 마케팅 활동은 브랜드 특성에 따라 상이한 상태이다. 본 연구는 소셜 미디어 마케팅 활동의 구성 요소 중 정보성, 콘텐츠 적합성, 최신성이 브랜드 자산과 구매의도에 미치는 영향을 분석 하였다. 연구 결과 첫째, 소셜 미디어 마케팅 활동의 구성 요소들은 브랜드 자산에 유의한 영향을 미치며 그 영향력은 최신성, 콘텐츠 적합성, 정보성 순이었다. 둘째, 브랜드 자산과 소비자 구매의도에서도 유의한 영향관계가 있으며, 자녀유무에 따라 구매의도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구의 결과는 어학원 소셜 미디어 마케팅에 관한 기초 연구 자료로 활용 될 수 있을 것이며 어학원 소셜 미디어 마케팅에 관한 학술적인 자료가 충분하지 않은 현 상황에서 향후 후속 연구에 이론적인 방향성을 제시할 수 있을 것이다.
