본 연구는 노인소비자 특성을 인구사회학적 기준에 따라 실증적으로 분석함으로써 고령친화 산업을 준비하는 기관과 기업체에 유익한 정보를 제공하고자 한다. 이 연구에서는 노인들의 제품 선호도, 제품 선택 기준, 제품 구입자, 선호하는 매체를 연령, 성별, 월 소득수준, 교육수준을 기준으로 설문조사하였다. 1차 조사는 2008년 5월27일부터 6월 5일까지 노인 600명을 대상으로 조사하였다. 1차 조사 후 노인들과 젊은 층과 비교해보기 위해 동년 7월 27일부터 8월 7일까지 400명을 대상으로 2차 조사를 추가로 실시하였다. 1차조사결과 노인소비자들이 제품을 선택하는 기준은 기능적인 면을 가장 많이 고려하였고 제품 구입은 본인이 직접하는 경향이 높았으며 가장 선호하는 매체는 TV였다. 노인소비자들은 건강에 관련된 제품에 높은 관심을 가지고 있었다. 남성노인들은 여성노인들에 비해 레저스포츠 및 여행 상품을 많이 선호하였다. 2차 조사에서는 노인과 비노인을 비교하였는데 제품선호도, 선택 기준에서 연령에 따라 차이가 있었다. 연구 결과를 통하여 노인소비자들의 특성을 분석하면 첫째, 노인소비자들을 위한 제품은 기능적인 면을 갖추어야 한다. 둘째, 노인소비자들은 경제적인 면에서 주도적이고 능동적이며 사회적인 면에서 독립성이 강한 경향이 있다. 셋째, 노인들은 건강관련 제품을 선호하였고 노인소비자에 대한 마케팅 계획에는 성별, 교육수준, 월소득 수준과 같은 배경정보에 대한 사전 조사가 필요하다. 앞으로 노인소비행태에 영향을 주는 다양한 변인에 대한 연구가 지속적이고 심도 있게 이루어지는 것이 필요하고 노인소비자 시장을 겨냥한 중장기적인 계획이 필요하리라 판단한다.

Internet apparel businesses are required to provide various consumer information to its consumers to facilitate the decision making process. For elderly consumers, who might have different shopping behaviors from the younger consumer segments, different kinds of information with higher quality would be required. As a preliminary step to develop internet consumer information model for elderly consumers, this study seeks to investigate the current practice of information offerings of internet apparel businesses for elderly consumers. Ten internet sites carrying apparel products for elderly consumers were selected and analyzed their offerings of consumer information by five researchers. This study found that internet apparel businesses targeting elderly consumers were still small-sized and lack of sophisticated technology to support these elderly consumers. Most web sites provided basic product information and service information but not fashion and trend related information. Managerial implications were discussed.

우리나라의 노인인구가 전체인구에서 차지하는 비율이 다른 선진국에 비해 빠르게 증가함에 따라 한국경제에 있어 노년소비자층이 중요한 수요자로 부상하고 있다. 이렇듯 노년소비자 시장규모의 확대와 노년생활을 위한 연금제도의 확산으로 노년소비자 구매력의 비중이 크게 향상되고 있으므로 기업이 시장에서 경쟁적 우위를 차지하기 위해서는 노년소비자 구매행동의 특성을 파악하고 이에 적합한 마케팅 전략을 개발해야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 우리나라 노년소비자의 구매행동특성을 파악하기 위해 이 분야에 관한 선행연구들을 검토하고 미국의 노년소비자와 비교분석하기 위한 후레임을 작성하였으며, 미국 노년소비자의 구매행동에 관한 기존의 연구들에서 많은 변수를 추출하여 작성한 설문으로 약품/건강 보조식품, 식품/주류, 의류/신발, 전기/전자제품, 또한 보험회사, 종합병원, 금융기관 등 특정 서비스업체 선호이유와 식품점, 약국 등 점포선정 이유를 조사하여 이를 미국노년소비자의 경우와 비교분석하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서의 조사 분석 결과는 이미 고령사회에 진입한 미국의 시장환경과는 차이가 있으나, 우리나라 노년소비자를 대상으로 마케팅활동을 전개하는 기업들이 소비자 구매행동에 관한 마케팅 전략을 수립하는 데 지표로 사용될 수 있을 것이다.
