The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of offering brand-name fast food at schools on student participation in school lunch. Two studies were conducted in Indiana, USA. In the first study, daily participation rate of 42 Indiana schools were compared between the days when brand-name fast food were offered and when they were not offered. The impact of brand-name fast food service on school lunch participation differed depending on the types of service offering brand-name fast food. Offering brand-name fast food solely as part of reimbursable meals or a-la-carte items was shown to induce students to the lunch option where brand-name fast food was offered. The second study examined the relationship of brand-name fast food service to monthly participation rate by analyzing secondary data of 1,282 Indiana schools using multiple regression analysis. Offering brand-name fast food was associated with monthly participation rate in school lunch only when schools offered them solely a-la-carte. Based on the results of two studies, it was concluded that offering brand-name fast food induced students from other lunch options to the options where brand-name fast food was offered on the day of service. However, increased or decreased participation in school lunch only on a few days could have not impacted average school lunch participation over a month. It is recommended that schools planning to offer brand-name fast food should make it available as part of reimbursable school lunches so that usual school lunch eaters would not be distracted to a-la-carte lines.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of relationship and service marketing on the brand interest and behaviors among Korean and Chinese active senior consumers and whether this effect differed between the two groups. A survey was conducted by having participants complete questionnaires administered by a research firm. For empirical analysis, frequency, EFA, CFA, SEM, the metric invariance test, and multiple-group comparison analysis were performed. The analysis results revealed that relationship marketing positively affected both brand interest and consumer behavior. Although service marketing positively affected brand interest, it did not have a significant effect on consumer behavior. In other words, brand interest positively affected consumer behavior through relationship and service marketing. Multiple-group comparison analysis demonstrated that no difference existed between Korean and Chinese active consumers in terms of how relationship marketing affected their brand interest, but a difference existed in how it affected their behavior. Service marketing had a greater influence on Chinese active senior consumers' brand interest than on Korean active senior consumers. However no difference existed between the two groups with respect to how service marketing affected their behaviors. Finally, brand interest had a positive effect only on Korean active senior consumers' behavior through relationship and service marketing, but not on Chinese active senior consumers. In conclusion, relationship and service marketing should be used to enhance the brand interest among Korean active senior consumers, and business activities should be planned by building relationships with Chinese active senior consumers to affect their behavior.

This study explores the evolving landscape of consumer experiences in the context of pop-up stores, considering the shifts from product economy to service economy and now the experience economy. It investigates the factors influencing consumer word-of-mouth intentions by examining the interplay of pop-up store experiences, brand equity, brand charisma, and verbal intent. Using Schmitt's strategic experience modules and the Aaker brand equity model, the study employs quantitative methods and data analysis to uncover the relationships among these variables. Surprisingly, it finds limited associations between the aspects of the pop-up store experience and brand equity. However, it highlights the direct impact of brand equity on brand charisma, which subsequently influences consumers' intentions to share brand-related information. This research contributes to our understanding of word-of-mouth marketing for pop-up stores, filling a knowledge gap and offering valuable insights for academics and businesses navigating the evolving marketing landscape. It also emphasizes the significance of brand charisma in the context of transient in-store experiences and evolving consumer preferences.

성숙기에 접어든 이동통신 시장은 소비자의 욕구가 다양해지는 반면에, 서비스 차별화가 어려워지고 있으며 번호이동성의 도입으로 인해 전환장벽이 완화되면서 사업자간 고객유지 및 확보를 위한 경쟁이 가속화되고 있다. 또한 HSDPA라는 신규 서비스의 도입으로 세대간 고객전환을 위한 치열한 마케팅 활동이 펼쳐지고 있다. 이러한 상황 속에서 이동통신 사업자에게 지속적 경쟁우위를 가져올 원천으로 브랜드 자산의 중요성이 더욱 대두되고 있다. 그런데 선행연구에서는 이동통신 브랜드 자산에 대한 연구가 제한적으로 수행되고 있으며 특히 CDMA 시장에서 형성된 고객자산이 HSDPA에 미치는 영향을 분석한 연구가 없었다. 이에 본 연구에서는 브랜드 이미지, 고객혜택, 가격, 품질, 마케팅 활동을 중심으로 이동통신 서비스의 브랜드 자산 결정요인을 분석하고 신규 서비스인 HSDPA 서비스 가입에 미치는 영향을 파악하였다. 그리고 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 이동통신 사업자의 브랜드 관리의 전략적 시사점을 제시하였다.

Purpose - As the role of salespersons in retail stores has expanded from selling products to sharing brand experiences with customers, the importance of research on the effects of salesperson-brand relationships has grown. The purpose of this research is to investigate the influences of salespersons' brand identification on conceptual fluency and customers' service and brand evaluations. It was supposed that salespersons' brand identification is affected by brand knowledge, which is a core dimension of internal branding. Research design, data, and methodology - The author developed a structural model in which salespersons' brand knowledge influences brand identification, hence customers' perception of salesperson-brand image congruence. And it is hypothesized that salesperson-brand image congruence influences conceptual fluency which affects customers' satisfaction and brand evaluation. Data were collected from five department stores in Seoul. Results - First, salespersons' brand knowledge was found to have a significant effect on brand identification. The more a salesperson knows about the affiliated brand, the higher her level of brand identification. Second, salespersons' brand identification influenced salesperson-brand image congruence. Third, salesperson-brand image congruence had a significant effect on brand conceptual fluency. Customers who perceive salesperson-brand image congruent are more likely to process information easily. Finally, conceptual fluency was found to be a significant determinant of store loyalty and brand value evaluation. Conclusions - The results of this study verify importance of salesperson's brand identification on customers' service and brand evaluations. To enhance salespersons' brand identification, retailers should emphasize the importance of internal branding and communication, especially by sharing brand vision, values, and identity with employees at customer contact points. Also, as brand conceptual fluency is a significant determinant of customer responses, retailers need to deliver consistent messages through various components of store environments, including salespersons' attitudes, appearances, and manners, as well as physical store design. With a deeper understanding of the effects of salesperson-brand relationship and brand conceptual fluency, retailers will be able to create more effective brand strategies to enhance their performances. Future studies should consider data from various retail types, such as discount stores, to generalize the findings.

본 연구에서는 패밀리레스토랑의 브랜드개성과 고객의 자아이미지를 규명하고 브랜드개성과 자아이미지의 일치성이 브랜드동일시와 브랜드 충성도에 미치는 영향을 규명하였다. 연구 결과, 패밀리레스토랑의 브랜드개성과 고객의 자아이미지가 일치할수록, 브랜드동일시도 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며, 패밀리레스토랑의 브랜드동일시는 브랜드충성도에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 조사되었다. 이는, 고객이 자신이 추구하는 자아상과 잘 부합되는 브랜드에 호의적이며, 이들 브랜드에 대해 지속적인 구매행동을 보이는데, 이는 동일시하는 브랜드와의 지속적인 관계 유지를 통해서 사회 속에 자신을 표현하고 자아를 유지하거나 강화시키고자 하기 때문인 것으로 판단된다.
