The objectives of this empirical study were to examine the relationships between shopping motivations, Pine and Gilmore's four experience realms (4Es), the emotional components of pleasure and arousal, and patronage intention toward small apparel retailers. Data from 128 college students were collected through an online survey. Regression analysis results revealed the positive impact of shopping motivations on the hypothesized experiential realms and partial effects of the 4Es on pleasure and arousal. Pleasure and arousal were found to affect patronage intention. This research benefits small retailers by identifying the experiential marketing strategies that positively affect consumer emotional experiences, which are important to consequent patronage intention toward small apparel retailers.

In recent years retail competition has intensified, generally as a consequence of technologies, more sophisticated management practices and industry consolidation. An understanding of current customers' loyalty intentions and their determinants is an important basis for the identification of optimal retailer actions. The focus of this study is to examine the links between patronage intention and the effects of various antecedents of current customers' store loyalty intentions in fashion store. 340 female universities students living in Seoul were analyzed by utilizing multiple regressions to investigate the predictability of each of the 4 different sets of variables(consumer value, source of information, clothing benefits, importance of store attributes) on four patronage intentions of apparel shopping(discount store, speciality store, conventional market, Fashion shopping mall). Four factors were significant in predicting conventional market patronage intention. Brand had a negative coefficient, while price, social affiliation, store fashion service/promotion had positive coefficients. Fashion shopping mall were predicted by five factors:brand had a negative coefficient, while media, social affiliation, price, uniqueness had positive coefficients. For specialty store, four factors were significant: brand had a negative coefficient, while store fashion service/promotion, personal sources, uniqueness had positive coefficients. Four factors were significant in predicting discount store patronage intention :price, store fashion service/promotion, social affiliation, variety of price & product had positive coefficients. Despite the relatively low $r^2s$, all four variables appeared to have, to some degree, predictability of choosing among four different types of store for apparel shopping. Based on the results, patronage intention profiles for four retail stores were developed. Marketing implications are discussed.

Although there have been studies regarding the influence of customer reviews on consumer decision making at online shopping sites, research on factors affecting the perceived customer review quality for online shopping sites is limited. This study posits that sociability, which is one of the environmental factors of an online shopping site, can affect the quality of customer reviews. Sociability is a key factor in building a collaborative environment online, but studies have been limited to applying sociability to customer reviews that are the result of a collaborative environment. This study expects that sociability affects the performance of online shopping sites through the perceived information quality of customer reviews, and customers' efficacy. More specifically this study investigates the structural relationship between sociability, self-efficacy, collective efficacy, and the perceived information quality of the reviews in an online shopping context, regarding the patronage intention of customers. This study was conducted using a survey of 361 college students. The structural equation model results indicate that user perception of sociability increases self-efficacy and collective efficacy. The improved efficacy enhances the perceived information quality of reviews for online shopping sites, which increases patronage intention of customers. This study found that online shopping sites require a platform for customers to engage in social interaction to enhance their customers' loyalty and lifetime value.

국내 주요 소매업체들은 정기적인 고객만족조사의 결과를 기반으로 고객만족경영을 추구해왔다. 그러나 고객만족조사의 문제점 가운데 하나는 고객만족조사에 기반하여 추정된 고객만족지수가 고객들의 점포애고행위를 충분히 예측하지 못한다는 것이다. 그 이유로는 고객만족을 측정하는 항목들이 주로 가격이나 고객과의 접점에서 발생하는 기능적 속성(attribute)들로 구성되며, 소비자들이 중요하게 생각하는 정서적 측면의 고객가치를 제대로 반영하지 못하고 있다는 것을 들 수 있다. 본 연구는 쇼핑가치를 Zeithaml(1988)이 제안한 지각된 편익(benefit)과 지불한 비용(cost)에 기초한 소비자의 주관적인 평가로 정의내리고, 이를 모형화하여 측정한다. 기존의 소매점 고객만족조사에서 발견된 문제점을 보완하기 위해 실용적 가치를 반영하는 항목들과 쾌락적 가치를 반영하는 항목들을 지각된 편익에 반영함으로써 고객만족에 대한 설명력을 향상시키고자 했다. 투입되는 비용에 있어서도 금전적 비용 외에 쇼핑과정에서 발생하는 다양한 인지적/시간적 노력을 포함하는 비금전적 비용을 모형에 반영한다. 쇼핑가치에 대한 개념적 틀을 기반으로 쇼핑가치가 고객만족, 그리고 구매빈도나 구매금액과 같은 실제구매행동에 어떤 영향을 미치는 지를 실증적으로 검토하기 위해 서울 강남권 여성고객들의 백화점 이용실태에 대해 서베이조사를 실시하고, 이 자료에 근거해 쇼핑가치와 소비자의 구매행동간의 관계를 실증분석하였다. 분석결과 고객들이 해당 백화점에 대한 쇼핑가치를 높게 평가할수록 만족도도 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 또 고객만족도는 구매빈도와 구매금액으로 측정된 구매행동에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 5개의 가치차원 중 쾌락적 편익, 서비스, 그리고 비금전적 비용이 유의하게 고객만족에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 반면 금전적 비용은 고객만족에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다.

Purpose - Understanding how service convenience drives shopping performance is imperative for retailers such as department and large discount stores. Retailers have to enhance shopping productivity by reducing the costs of shopping, as convenience triggers customers' perceived shopping value, leading to customer satisfaction, and ultimately patronage behavior. Consumers, generally considering time as a scarce resource, are more sensitive to the time costs of tasks in regard to shopping trip, differently from forming perceptions of convenience in time orientation. Therefore, this study attempts to examine the moderating effects of consumers' time orientation on the relationships among service convenience of retailers and shopping performances such as shopping value and service performances. Research design, data, and methodology - The department and discount store chains were chosen as the point of analysis in this study. Data were collected from a survey of real-life consumers and all respondents were screened to ensure only those who had visited in the department and discount store chains within past six month prior to the day of data collection. Out of 600 self-reported surveys that were distributed, a total of 530 responses were returned and after excluding 20 incomplete responses, the final sample size was 510. The three hypotheses were proposed and tested in this study. The one hypothesis was on the moderating effects of time orientation for the effects of service convenience on shopping value (hedonic and utilitarian shopping value). The other two hypotheses were on the comparisons between high and low time-oriented customers with the effects in shopping value from service performance. Hierarchical moderated regression analysis was used to test the hypotheses. Results - The results suggest that the effect of service convenience on utilitarian shopping value and the positive effect of utilitarian shopping value on customer satisfaction are greater in low time orientation than high time orientation customers. Conversely, when customers are highly oriented toward time, the effects of hedonic shopping value on customer satisfaction and revisit intention are greater than for customers who are lowly oriented toward time. Conclusions - This study has two-fold significance. First, this study contributes to the consumer behavior and services marketing literature by incorporating customers' time orientation into the service convenience-shopping performance. Although the effect of service convenience on shopping performance might differ from customers' perceptions concerning shopping, there has been little investigation or comparison between customers' perception on time. This study is a first attempt to consider how the effects of service convenience on shopping value and service performance vary with differing levels of customers' time orientation. This study advances prior studies by showing that the service convenience-shopping value and service convenience-service performance relationships vary across different combinations of the customer's time orientation. The findings of this study suggest that the retailers need to enhance the experiential aspects of the stores for their high time-oriented customers. Conversely, for the low time-oriented customers, the retailers should boost the visual distinctiveness and ease of store navigation.
