Abstract

The new sales method of social commerce in food service market is growing steadily. Over 50 percent of the social commerce market is food service product. Food service companies are using social commerce, which is discount sales, as a marketing tool. There are many food service companies using social commerce as a sales and marketing tool. However, little research has investigated food service customers. Thus, this study suggests how food service customer's purchasing factor affects customer's satisfaction and loyalty of the supplier and business operator. Social commerce's purchasing characteristic factors are selected based on a previous study. Purchasing factor is divided into supplier and business operator side and the impact of the relationships between its subordinate factors (price discount, offering diversity, mutual action, brand intimacy) and customer's satisfaction is analyzed. As a result, price discount and brand intimacy show higher results. Offering diversity and brand intimacy of purchasing factor on business operator side shows a higher impact on the relationship between loyalty and ?? (Ed- 'the relationship between A and B'; what is B?). The study implications are as follows. The food service industry should establish different marketing strategies to apply social commerce and compare with social commerce business operators, because the actual place where customers use food service is food service restaurants and not just social commerce websites.

외식시장의 새로운 판매방식으로 나타난 소셜커머스는 도입 이후로부터 꾸준히 성장하고 있다. 소셜커머스 시장에서 판매되는 쿠폰 중 50%이상이 외식상품으로, 외식기업에서는 할인판매 방식인 소셜커머스를 마케팅의 도구로 활용하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 시대적 배경에도 불구하고 소셜커머스와 외식소비자를 연계한 연구는 매우 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 소셜커머스를 이용하여 외식상품을 구매한 경험이 있는 소비자를 대상으로 소셜커머스 구매특성 요인들을 선행연구를 통하여 선정하고 이러한 구매특성이 고객만족과 충성도에 미치는 영향에 대하여 분석함으로써 외식기업이 소셜커머스를 이용하는데 있어 활용할 수 있는 방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 연구를 위한 설문지는 총 300부가 사용되었고 분석은 구조방정식 모델을 통해 진행되었다. 분석결과, 소셜커머스 구매특성인 가격할인, 다양성제공, 상호작용성, 브랜드 친숙도 중 가격할인과 브랜드 친숙도가 고객만족과 충성도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 외식기업은 소셜커머스 활용에 있어서 가격할인 전략과 브랜드 친숙도를 이용한 차별화된 마케팅 전략이 필요하다고 할 수 있다.
