The ability of smartphones to facilitate various services like mobile banking, e-commerce and mobile payments has made them part of consumers' lives. Conjoint analysis (CA) is a marketing research approach used to assess how consumers' preferences for products or services develop. The potential applications of CA are numerous in consumer electronics, banking and insurance services, job selection and workplace loyalty, consumer packaged goods, and travel and tourism. Choice-Based Conjoint (CBC) analysis is the most commonly used CA approach in marketing research. The purpose of this study is to utilise CBC analysis to investigate the relative importance of smartphone attributes that influence consumer smartphone preference. An experiment was designed using Sawtooth CBC Software. 326 students attempted the online survey. Utility values were derived by Hierarchical Bayes (HB) estimation and used to explain consumers' smartphone preferences. All the six attributes used for the study were found to significantly influence smartphone preference. Smartphone brand was the most important, followed by the price, camera, RAM, battery life, and storage. This study is one of the first to use Sawtooth CBC analysis to assess consumer smartphone preference based on the six attributes. We provide implications for the development of new smartphones based on attributes.

Mobile fashion apps present much opportunity for marketers to engage consumers, however not all apps provide enough functions for their targeted audience. This study aims to determine how mobile fashion apps can be used to build brand community with consumer engagement. Qualitative data on fashion mobile apps were collected from the Apple app store and Android market during the spring and summer of 2015. A total of 110 fashion mobile apps were collected;, 50 apps were identified as apparel brands that either manufacture or sell apparel to consumers, which we categorized as "brand" fashion apps, and the remaining 60 were categorized as "non-brand" fashion apps. The result of the study can be summarized as below. The 60 non-brand fashion apps were grouped into 5 app types: shopping, searching, sharing, organizational, and informational. The main functions are for informational use and shopping needs, since at least half (31 apps) are used for either retrieving information or for shopping. However, in contrast, social networking and location were infrequent and not commonly utilized by these apps. The most common type of non-brand fashion apps available were shopping apps;, many shopping apps enable users to shop from several different websites and save their items into one universal shopping cart so that they only check out once. Most of these apps are informational and help consumers make more informed decisions on purchases;, in addition many offer location services to help consumers find these items in store. While these apps perform several functions, they do not link to social media. The 50 brand apps were grouped into 5 brand types: athletic, casual, fast fashion, luxury, and retailer. These apps were also checked for attributes to determine their functionality. The result shows that the main functions of brand fashion apps are for information (82% of the 50 apps) as well as location searching (72% of 50 apps). Conversely, these apps do not offer any photo sharing, and very few have organizational or community functions. Fashion mobile apps and m-marketing elements: To build brand community, mobile apps can be designed to motivate consumer's engagement with brands. The motivations of fashion mobile apps are useful in developing fashion mobile apps. Entertainment motives can be fulfilled with multimedia attributes, functionality motives are satisfied with organizational and location-based features, information motives with informational service, socialization with community and social network, learning and intellectual stimulation from informational attributes, and trend following through photo sharing. The 8 key attributes of mobile apps can correspond to the 4 m-marketing elements (i.e., Informative content, multimedia, interactions, and product promotions) that are further intertwined with m-branding elements. App Attributes and M-Marketing aim to Build Brand Community;, the eight key attributes can impact on 4 m-branding elements, which further contribute to building brand community by affecting consumers' perceptions of brands preference and advocacy, and their likelihood to be loyal.

The purpose of this exploratory study was to enhance the understanding of how brands tilize emojis in their marketing practices. A content analysis was conducted utilizing Google News as a search tool to access articles containing information pertaining to the use of emojis by brands. The combination of keywords used for the search were "emoji", "business", and "marketing". The search was narrowed down to the period of January $1^{st}$, 2014 - November $29^{th}$, 2017. This method generated a total of 604 trade publications with 55 of them providing information pertaining to specific brands and their use of emojis in their marketing strategies. A content analysis of trade publications has revealed that a variety of marketers have utilized emojis in their brand marketing practices. The entertainment, service, and food/drink industries have predominantly utilized emojis in their marketing practices, and their primary purpose for using emojis was to increase consumer engagement. Brands applied most of these emoji marketing strategies to an online or digital setting, whether it was social media pages, mobile applications, or any other form of computer-based marketing. Although there are limitations to this exploratory research in terms of its methodology, the findings of this study provide interesting insights into the potential of emojis as a marketing tool.

우리나라 가계의 통신비는 꾸준히 증가하여 왔다. 이에 따라 이동통신요금의 적정성에 대한 문제가 제기되고 있으나 실효성 있는 해결책은 제시되지 않고 있다. 우리나라의 이동전화보유율은 99%로 세계에서 가장 높고 요금은 상대적으로 비싸다. 이는 근본적으로 정부가 이동통신 3사체제를 유지해오면서 사실상 최저가격제를 용인하고 MVNO의 도입을 늦추었기 때문으로 풀이된다. 정부는 서비스생산비용이 타당하게 반영되는 요금구조로 유도할 수 있으며 시장지분확보만을 위한 마케팅비용을 일정한 범위로 제한할 수 있다. 또 과도하게 복잡한 요금제에 따른 거래비용을 억제함으로써 소비자의 소비선택권을 보장하고 요금부담을 줄일 수 있다. 이동통신요금의 적정화를 위해서는 MVNO의 활성화를 통한 이동통신시장구조의 개선, 마케팅 비용의 적정수준인정을 통한 요금의 인하가 필요하다. 바람직한 시장구조와 정책운용이 뒷받침된다면 이동통신요금은 30%정도의 하향조정은 가능할 것으로 보인다. 이동통신 요금은 데이터 사용량에 따른 종량제를 기본으로 하는 것이 바람직할 것이다.

우리나라 가계 통신비는 꾸준히 증가하여 왔고 현재 대단히 높은 수준이다. 이에 따라 이동통신 관련 비용에 대한 문제가 꾸준히 제기되고 있으나 실효성있는 해결책은 제시되지 않고 있다. 우리나라의 이동전화보유율이 99%로 세계에서 가장 높고 요금은 상대적으로 비싸다. 이는 근본적으로 정부가 이동통신 3사체제를 유지해오면서 사실상 최저가격제를 용인하고 MVNO의 도입을 늦추었기 때문으로 풀이된다. 정부는 수익과 비용이 타당하게 반영되는 바람직한 요금구조로 유도할 수 있으며 시장확보를 위한 마케팅비용을 일정한 범위로 제한할 수 있다. 또 복잡한 요금제에서의 선택 강요에 따른 거래비용 증가를 억제함으로써 소비자의 선택권 보장 및 비용부담을 경감할 수 있다. 이동통신요금의 적정화를 위해서는 MVNO의 활성화를 통한 이동통신시장구조의 개선, 과도한 마케팅 비용사용의 억제를 통한 요금의 인하가 필요하다. 그를 통하여 시장구조의 개선 또한 이루어져야 할 것이다. 이동통신 요금은 종량제를 기본으로 하되 경우에 따라 기본요금제를 병행하는 형태를 취해야 할 것이다.

본 연구는 대학생의 개인성향으로서의 성격특질과 모바일 쇼핑의도의 관계성을 알아보고, 이들 관계에 영향을 주는 프라이버시 염려와 지각된 가치의 매개효과를 분석하였다. 이를 위해 스마트폰기반의 모바일 쇼핑에 익숙한 대학생 250명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였고, 그 가운데 불성실 응답을 제외하고 모든 설문항목에 응답한 204명의 데이터를 타당한 자료로 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 5요인 성격차원 중 신경증 성향은 프라이버시 염려와 직접적인 정적 관계를 보였고 외향성 및 호감성은 프라이버시 염려와 직접적인 부적 관계를 나타냈다. 또한 외향성과 개방성은 지각된 가치와 직접적인 정적 관계를 보였으나 다른 성격차원의 효과는 통계적으로 유의미하지 않았다. 한편, 프라이버시 염려는 신경증 및 호감성과 쇼핑의도의 관계를 매개하였고, 지각된 가치는 개방성과 쇼핑의도의 관계를 매개하는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 본 연구의 결과를 바탕으로 대학생 대상의 모바일 마케팅을 위한 5요인 성격차원에 따른 개인화된 마케팅 전략을 제안하였다.
