This study tried to verify the factors influencing online subscription for disposable consumer goods through behavioral reasoning theory. 344 questionnaire responses were collected through a survey in Korea and empirical analysis was performed. As a result of the analysis, value of openness was found to have a positive effect on attitude, reason for adoption and reason against adoption. Reason for adoption showed a positive effect on attitude and adoption intention. Reason against adoption showed a negative effect on attitude but it has no impact on adoption intention. Attitude showed a positive effect on adoption intention. Finally price consciousness and quality barrier was found to the most important factors of reason for adoption and reason against adoption respectively. The results of this study can contribute to subscription companies establishing their marketing strategies. Future research can be conducted with various subscription products and additional variables.

This study investigated to explore the broadened concept of the subscription service market and categorize of the subscription market and its consumer behavior. We examined the satisfaction of the service users and the reasons for terminating the subscription. Survey respondents were 443 people in their 20s and 30s, who actively use subscription services. As a result of the survey it was found that users in their 20s were more satisfied with the overall subscription service than those in their 30s, and that user's residential areas were evenly distributed regardless of metropolitan area or non-metropolitan area. As a reason for the cancellation of subscription service: the lower the novelty of subscription, the less personalization tailored to consumer, the lack of feeling self-growth while using the service, and the more termination is made. Our findings have magnified the understanding of consumers behaviors in the age of 20s and 30s of using and terminating subscription service and hopefully be used for future studies of subscription services.

In nowadays, Covid-19 has transformed patterns of consumers' behavior into a non-face-to-face mode. As the patterns of consumption have been digitalized, it has become a daily routine for consumers who perform so-called shadow work, which involves unpaid jobs that they have to do by themselves. In mobile grocery service context, consumers' shadow work could lead to shopping avoidance as well as switching toward other shopping channels. Thus, this study is to examine how consumers' perception of shadow work affect mobile shopping avoidance and switching intention toward other shopping channels. This study collected 283 survey data from online respondents who have experience on subscription services for ordering groceries in online. We also tested our research model by using partial least squares. Based on our results, this study has found that the perception of shadow work had a positive effect on mobile shopping avoidance as well as switching intention. We expect that our findings could contribute to relevant research on shadow work and suggest practical implications for digital platforms dealing with subscription business models

CRM (Customer Relationship Management)은 효율적 고객 관리를 통해 기업의 이익과 경쟁우위를 향상사킬 수 있는 비즈니스 전략 모델이다. 신문사도 일반 기업과 마찬가지로 신규 고객 유치와 기존 고객 유지에 다각도의 노력을 기울이고 있다. 국내 C신문사의 경우 CRM이 구축되어 고객정보의 획득과 관리가 용이해졌어도 지국이 입력한 고객정보가 온라인 마케팅을 하기엔 부적합하고, 인터넷을 통한 구독관련 셀프서비스 및 독자우대 콘텐츠를 제공하는 채널이 없었기에 그만큼 고객관리의 효용성이 떨어졌었다. 이를 해결하기 위해 고객과 직접 커뮤니케이션하면서 타사와 차별화된 혜택을 제공할 수 있는 고객 멤버십사이트를 설계 구현하였다. 이를 통해 고객 데이터의 정제는 물론 온라인 마케팅이 활발히 진행되고 고객 이탈의 억제 효과까지 나타냈다. 이는 고객관리를 활성화할 수 있는 효과적 방법으로 이용될 수 있을 것이다.
