The current study examines the major variables -Facebook social connectedness and brand self-disclosure- that affect the relationship between users and brands. In this study, we assume that users communicate and build relationships with brands via Facebook brand fan pages, like they do with other users. Additionally, we test the effect of attitude toward Facebook fan page on intention to be a fan of the fan page. The results show that the brand's self-disclosure positively affects on attitude toward the fan page, but Facebook social connectedness has negative effects. Also, attitude toward the fan page has positive effects on the intention to be a fan. This study helps understand how brand messages are spreading across diverse Facebook users.

As the world is in the age of globalization and information, we observe diverse changes in the market environment. Since wide-spread internet services and global networks made ubiquitous learning and business possible, equalizing consumers' ideology and preference, new trend and life style could be introduced easily. This study stipulates on the theoretical concept of the wellbeing consumer and LOHAS consumer. Consumers of LOHAS could be sampled out through pre-questionnaire targeting at selected food, clothing, and shelter based on companies of both wellbeing and general brands. Through this it is attempted to measure wellbeing emotion, recognition quotient of emotion and reason, affirmation and negation, mental emotion quotient, and preference in order to find out their value and to ultimately come up with what web design should be aiming at. Conclusions are as follows: Firstly, consumers easily recognize emotional identification from the web pages of wellbeing brand, rather than that of general brands. Secondly, what web pages of wellbeing brand recognize is reason, not emotion. Thirdly, the design of wellbeing brands scored higher than those of general brands in terms of positive aspects such as hospitality and familiarity, and high mental emotion quotient could not affect the consumers' preference toward web design. Fourthly, wellbeing brands win more preference than general brands do, and preference becomes higher after customers' visit to web pages basically. Lastly, sampled emotional adjectives toward the web designs of wellbeing brands marked a aesthetic graph figure, without leaning toward an active or stable one. It is expected that this study can serve as a groundwork to create proper strategies to actively involve consumers in industrial sphere.

The rapid growth in the popularity of social media sites has meant that social media has become an important communication channel for brands. Brands create brand pages on social media to cultivate positive and strong relationships with consumers. This study seeks to enhance our understanding of how fashion brand pages in social media foster consumer-brand relationships by exploring the factors that affect the development of consumer-brand relationships. Drawing on the parasocial interaction theory, this study proposes parasocial interaction as a key factor of this process. Specifically, this study proposes four antecedents (vividness, interactivity, social presence, and focused attention) of consumers' parasocial interaction with brand pages, which further affects consumer responses in terms of affective engagement and brand loyalty. An online survey was administered with consumers who have followed and visited at least one fashion brand page via a social networking site (SNS). Structural equation modeling revealed that consumers' perceptions of vividness, interactivity, social presence, and focused attention on a fashion brand page positively affected their feelings towards parasocial interaction with the brand page, which in turn led to their affective engagement with the brand page and consequent brand loyalty. These findings suggest that consumers build relationships of varying degrees with brand pages in a similar manner to that with people, which leads to their development of a positive relationship with the brand. This study concludes with discussions and practical implications.

This study empirically examines the differences in attitude and memory effect according to the product knowledge (high knowledge / low knowledge) and temporal distance (near future / far future) in the new product preannouncing strategy of companies through Facebook Respectively. Experiments were conducted by inserting the experiment into a virtual web browser using Facebook 's actual brand fan page and then connecting the experiment to the experimental banner site. As a result of research, when preannouncing new products are released in the near future, low knowledge consumers have made judgments of purchasing decisions because GRM judgments are more favorable than property information (ARM) judgments, but preannouncing is a new product At the time of launch, highly-knowledgeable consumers had a positive effect on the property information (ARM) judgment of the product rather than the comprehensive information (GRM) judgment. In addition, when preannouncing was introduced in the near future, the attitudes of the products between the low-knowledge consumers and the high-knowledge consumers were all positive, but when the new products were launched in the distant future, Product attitude was negative.

Purpose Previous research on customer engagement in SNS marketing has mainly addressed the conceptualization of type of word-of-mouth messages. However, there is a lack of researches about the effect of the brand-page characteristics on the type of word-of-mouth messages. Therefore, this study examined the effect of brand-page characteristics in terms of the type of word-of-mouth messages as the main objective and the effect of the type of word-of-mouth messages in terms of the brand loyalty as the secondary objective in the context of Facebook. Design/methodology/approach The empirical research was based on a poll done through 400 research candidates in the Facebook and the final 342 responses were collected and used in statistical data analysis. The adaptability, trust, and validity to measurement model were verified and the structural relationship in the research model was analyzed through these 342 responses. The collected data verified hypotheses established using the SPSS statistical package and structural equation model using AMOS. Findings The results showed that the BP-information provision had a non-significant effect on the factual word-of-mouth message and a significant effect on the evaluative word-of-mouth message. The BP-reliability had a significant effect on the factual word-of-mouth message and the evaluative word-of-mouth message. The BP-entertainment had a significant effect on the factual word-of-mouth message and the evaluative word-of-mouth effect. The BP-interaction had a non-significant effect on the factual word-of-mouth message and the evaluative word-of-mouth message. Finally, the factual word-of-mouth message and the evaluative word-of-mouth message had a significant effect on the brand loyalty.

Shopping information contents shown on online shopping sites represent online retailer's intention to draw potential consumers' visual attention. However, unfortunately, previous studies in literature show that most of the shopping information contents are naively designed just to appeal to consumers' visual attention without systematic and logical analysis of consumers' possible different visual reactions depending on gender. To fill in the research void like this, this study proposes eye-tracking approach to investigating the research issue of how gender affects consumers' visual attention towards human brand image contents on the online shopping sites. For the sake of conducting related eye-tracking experiments, we adopted two types of products - notebook computer as a utilitarian product, and perfume as a hedonic product. Results revealed that female consumers show higher visual attention to human brand image contents than male consumers. Besides, significant gender difference exists on the human brand image contents more highly when they are attached with a hedonic product like perfume, than a utilitarian product like notebook computer. From the eye-tracking-based experiment results like this, this study suggested theoretical backgrounds about gender differences towards online shopping information contents and related human brand image contents as well.
