This study analyzes empirically the effect of the degree of interest in cultural marketing on corporate image and how the corporate images affect on consumers' clothes purchasing behavior through the case of a fashion brand, 'Uniqlo'. For this, Chi-square test and independent sample T-test were used for the verification of differences in frequency and average by general characteristics of respondents. To observe the effects between ration scales, it carried out a multiple regression analysis, and also, using AMOS16.0, it verified the suitability of the route model and estimated the coefficients for each route. From the result of analysis, it was found that degree of consumer's interest in cultural marketing affects on corporate images such as corporate confidence and marketing and the corporate image again is closely related to consumer's clothes purchasing behavior and satisfaction. In other words, the consumers who have greater interest in corporations using cultural marketing or who had participated in various cultural events are more likely to think that 'Uniqlo' is a reliable corporation who actively uses cultural factors in marketing. Likely, it was observed that the positive corporate image of 'Uniqlo' has a large influence on purchase of their products and also, it makes consumers feel as if they are participating in mecenat, thus increasing consumer's satisfaction after purchase. This study has a limitation in generalization of study result because it focused on a case of particular brand. However, it is still helpful for the empirical study for growth and reinvigoration of the market for cultural marketing, and through a case of leading corporation, it provides implications to the corporations who use or do not use cultural marketing.

The purpose of this study was to compare service quality between local and global coffee brand shops and to investigate improvement. Of 350 questionnaires distributed to customers of six brand coffee shops (three local brands, three global brands) located in Daejeon, 330 complete questionnaires (94.3%) were analyzed. The questionnaire included a seven-point multiple-item scale for measuring service quality. The 21 items measuring service quality were grouped into four factors, and the mean scores for the levels of "representativeness", "coffee sensory and beverage features", "employee attitude" and "physical environment" were 5.42, 4.77, 4.74, and 4.13, respectively. The levels of "coffee sensory and beverage features" and "employee attitude" of the high income customers were significantly lower than those of the low income customers. The results showed that the levels of "employee attitude" of local coffee brand shops was significantly higher (p=0.050) than that of global coffee brand shops. Whereas, the levels of "representativeness" of global coffee brand shops was significantly higher (p=0.003) than that of local coffee brand shops. Based on the results, the global coffee brand shops should pay attention to internal marketing and the local coffee brand shops must strive to improve service quality through strategies such as improving brand awareness and developing representative beverages and foods.

자판기를 단기적인 홍보 마케팅에 활용하는 사례들이 늘고 있다. 과거에는 사람이 자판기 안에 들어가 상품을 내주는 '인간자판기' 식의 활용이 붐을 이루었었다. 주로 미인이 자판기 안에 들어가 브랜드가 감성적으로 어필하는 효과를 안겨 주었다. 그러나 이런 홍보 마케팅은 여러 곳에서 되풀이함으로 인해 참신성이 떨어져 최근에는 시큰둥해졌다. '보다 기발하고 자극적인 방법이 무엇일까?' 다음으로 등장하게 된 게 자판기의 의외성을 부각시키는 컨셉이다. 고객이 예상했던 뻔한 내용상품이 아니라 놀랄만한 상품과 서비스, 재미를 제공한다. 일례로 코카콜라의 홍보 마케팅에서는 꽃다발을 내주기도 하고, 막걸리 업체 배다리의 전시회 홍보 마케팅에서는 투출구에서 사람 손이 나와 막걸리를 따라주기도 하고 선물도 건넨다. 최근 매일유업에서 '우유속에'라는 유제품 출시를 기념하여 펼쳐진 '해피 프레젠트 (Happy Present) 캠페인'도 이 범주에 속한다. 말 그대로 자판기가 다양한 선물을 하는 컨셉이다. 기존 유사 홍보마케팅과 차별성이 있다면 고객이 미션을 수행해야 선물이 주어지는 참여형 프로그램이라는 점이다. 의외성에 대한 기대와 재미를 결합한 절묘한 홍보 마케팅이다. 저렴한 비용에 효과는 만점인 자판기 홍보 마케팅의 장점을 여실히 느끼게 한다. '우유속에' 자판기 홍보 마케팅에는 어떠한 기발함이 숨어있을까?

Also we wanted to analyse empirically what structural relations this consumer-brand relationship through the whole experience has with brand attachment and brand commitment. The outcome shows that emotional experience, cognitive experience and relational experience affect the consumer-brand relationship but sensuous experience and behavioral experience. And our analysis of what structural relations the consumer-brand relationship through brand experience has with brand attachment and brand commitment revealed that the consumer-brand relationship through brand experience has a direct effect on brand attachment but it doesn't have on brand commitment. Brand commitment was confirmed to be affected only through brand attachment. Finally, this is in agreement with the result of the precedent study that brand commitment is an effect variable of brand attachment.
