The concept that human and brand can related to each other is referred to as 'brand relationship' or 'consumer-brand relationship. By arguing that the concept of brand relationship is a readily understandable analogue, it appears that relationship thinking in the context of consumers and brands sometimes is taken for granted without thoroughly discussing its applicability. In this perspective, this paper tests the limitations with the relationship metaphor and interpersonal relationship theory by comparing the differences among product categories. And research findings as follow like these. First, even if many companies seek to anthropomorphize their brands, consumers may still don't consider them as human. Second, the possibility of personification is much higher in product categories like lead higher interaction between consumers and brands and give higher enjoyment than those of lower.

본 연구의 목적은 마케팅 관점에서 제품속성과 브랜드 정통성에 대한 통합적 연구모형을 이론적으로 제시하고, 이를 실증적으로 살펴보는 것이다. 이와 같은 연구목적을 위하여 제품속성과 브랜드 정통성을 정의하고, 브랜드 정통성의 구성 요인을 학문적 관점에서 이론적으로 제시하였다. 구체적으로 제품속성은 내재적 속성으로는 품질과 디자인, 외재적 속성으로는 브랜드와 가격으로 구분하고, 브랜드 정통성은 기존 연구들을 분석하여 총 13개의 하위 차원으로 정리하였다. 제품속성이 브랜드의 정통성과 브랜드 이미지에 미치는 영향관계를 실증적으로 분석하고자, 총 400개 표본을 대상으로 분석을 실시하였다. 조사대상 제품은 S전자의 최신 휴대폰인 S20으로 하였다. 본 연구는 선행연구에서 논의되지 않았던 연구모형을 기반으로 하였으며, 마케팅관점에서 소비자가 제품 속성을 통하여 지각하는 브랜드 정통성과 브랜드 이미지의 관계를 실증적으로 살펴봄으로써 다양한 이론적, 실무적 기반을 제공할 것이다. 특히, 브랜드의 정통성을 구축하기 위해서는 오랜 기간 동안 많은 투자가 수반되므로 중소/벤처기업은 대기업에 비해 상대적으로 불리하다. 이런 이유로 중소/벤처기업은 우선적으로 제품의 품질향상에 많은 노력을 기울이는 경향이 있지만 만일 제품 속성이 브랜드 정통성에 의미 있는 영향을 미치지 못한다면 중소/벤처기업은 관련된 전략을 수정하여야 할 것이다. 따라서 본 연구는 중소/벤처기업의 시각에서 제품의 속성을 활용하여 브랜드 정통성을 구축하기 위한 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 본 연구의 결과는 특히 스타트업의 마케팅전략 수립에 도움이 될 수 있을 것이다.
