The term used to describe consumer's valuation of a brand is brand equity. One concept that can be managed and may impact valuation of a prestige brand is "luxuriousness." As the concept of "luxuriousness" appears to be a key factor contributing to the equity of a prestige brand, the purpose of this study was to examine how luxuriousness is related to the brand equity utilizing a model developed by Yoo, Donthu, and Lee (2000). Yoo et al. (2000) identified three dimensions [brand association with awareness (BA), perceived quality (PQ), brand loyalty (BL)] accounted for the equity (OBE) of a brand. We speculated that the five dimensions of luxuriousness (i.e., quality, extended self, hedonism, accessibility, and tradition) would selectively influence the two dimensions of brand equity (BA, PQ) and that loyalty would mediate the relationship between the two dimensions of brand equity (BA, PQ) and overall brand equity. A total of 502 participants aged from 18 to 74 were surveyed in USA. Using AMOS 18, the path analysis was conducted with the maximum-likelihood estimation procedure. The model exhibited a good fit with the data and all hypotheses were supported except one. Quality, accessibility, and hedonism dimensions of luxuriousness affected perceived quality of the equity of a brand. Hedonism and extended self dimensions affected brand association with awareness. However, tradition dimension did not significantly influence brand association with awareness. Overall, this research expands understanding of brand equity as it documents the contributions of luxuriousness, a component that can be controlled by brand managers.

본 연구는 광고디자인에 있어서 광고에 포함되어 있는 정보의 양의 광고수용자의 광고평가에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 검증하였다. 기존 연구는 주로 자원-부합이론(Resoruce-matching theory)의 관점에서 광고에 포함되어 있는 외부정보의 효과만을 주로 검증하였다. 그러나 본 연구에서는 이와는 달리 광고에 제시된 브랜드명 의해 유발된 심상정보처리와 같은 내부정보의 정보량이 어떻게 광고수용자의 광고평가효과를 조절하는지를 두가지의 실험을 통하여 검증하였다. 실험결과에 따르면 광고에서 제시된 브랜드명은 광고수용자가 인지적 잉여자원이 있는 경우 심상정보처리를 유발시키고 이러한 심상정보처리과정이 명성브랜드일 경우에는 광고에 대한 평가를 긍정적으로 유도하는 반면 비명성브랜드의 경우에는 부정적으로 유발하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구의 결과는 광고디자인프로세스에서 명성브랜드라면 광고효과를 증대시키기 위해 제품관련정보를 많이 내포해야 할 필요는 없다는 점을 시사하고 있다 오히려, 이미 소비자의 인식속에 구축되어 있는 브랜드자산을 통해 심상정보처리와 같은 내부정보탐색을 할 수 있는 여지를 마련하도록 광고디자인을 설계하는 것이 바람직하다고 할 수 있다. 반대로 비명성브랜드의 경우에는 광고효과를 극대화하기 위하여 제품관련정보를 다양화해야 할 필요가 있다. 이러한 결과가 향후 광고디자이너들이 광고디자인을 수행하는 프로세스상에서 광고수용자들에게 광고효과를 극대화하기 위해 어떻게 광고디자인을 수행해야 할 것인지에 도움을 되기를 바란다.

본 연구의 목적은 브랜드의 이미지 및 위조품의 진품과의 제품 유사성이 명품 위조품태도에 미치는 영향을 살펴보는 것이다. 특히 지각된 브랜드 글로벌성의 조절효과와 함께 진품에 대한 태도가 위조품 태도에 미치는 영향도 살펴보았다. 연구의 결과 첫째, 브랜드 이미지는 진품(위조품)태도 모두에 긍정적인 영향을 미치며, 상징적 브랜드 이미지가 진품(위조품)태도 모두에 더 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 둘째, 지각된 브랜드 글로벌성의 조절효과도 확인되었다. 즉 브랜드이미지가 진품태도에 미치는 영향은 지각된 브랜드 글로벌성에 따라 차이가 유의하지 않았지만, 위조품태도에 미치는 영향은 지각된 브랜드 글로벌성이 높은 경우에 더 선호되는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 위조품의 진품과의 제품유사성은 위조품태도에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났고, 지각된 품질유사성이 위조품태도에 더 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 진품태도는 위조품 태도에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 연구결과는 진품과 위조품의 관계에서 상징적인 측면의 브랜드이미지와 기능적인 측면의 제품유사성이 위조품 태도에 미치는 영향을 종합적으로 이해하는데 이론적 기초를 제공할 것이다.

Masstige goods aimed consumers who want the fame and the emotional contents with reasonable price are presented overall and around the life style, from all the fashion items like bag and apparel to car, electric household, food, sports goods, furniture, toys, pets and performance of art, etc. Masstige casual, essentially different from the passed casuals which emphasized only price strategy, appeals to teenagers and young of twenties with a definite brand concept. Therefore masstige casual might be separated from business casual of a target aged thirties. Established celebrity brands have launched masstige brands matching the popularization of prestige goods. Armani Exchange from Armani, Marc by Marc Jacobs from Louis Vuitton are representative ones. DKNY from Donna Karen, MiuMiu from Prada, Paul smith Pink from Paul Smith can be added. These are relatively inexpensive, however the quality, design and shop's atmosphere are more exclusive than general brands. Consumers are over middle class and have a pride and fidelity to those brands. Leading Masstige trend, new luxury brands put the importance to the quality and aims middle class. To succeed in this field, companies should know exactly what consumers want, considering not only functional aspect but also emotional pleasure. Even though masstige has a weakness in pricing, it has to keep brand's proper benefit. Its price range could be wide to be in great demand but has to have elasticity and not to be expanded too much. Masstige industry should do its best not to damage original brand's identity. Forming family brand, like Armani made Georgic Armani, Emporio Armani and Armani exchange, system of parent brand and sub brands would be recommendable. From the launching time, masstige needs the effects to create a sensation and bring it into vogue and offer emotional value to the consumers.

This research examines the impact of brand personality dimensions on store attitude and store loyalty for department stores. A total of 431 customers participated in the online survey. The participants were women in their 20's to 50's with experience of purchasing apparel from four major department stores. The data were analyzed using factor analysis, reliability test, and structural equation modeling with PASW 18.0 and AMOS 18.0. Analyses revealed three dimensions of the brand personality of department stores: prestige, passion, and sincerity. Among the three dimensions of brand personality, 'passion' and 'sincerity' were shown to be the most influential factors affecting department store attitude. The results suggest that passionate and sincere customers tend to exhibit favorable store attitudes. Customers with more favorable store attitudes then are more likely to express great store loyalty than those with less favorable attitudes. An analysis of the effect of brand personality on attitudes toward department stores provides implications for department store brand management strategies.
