Abstract

The competitiveness of the domestic cosmetics market will improve more rapidly when efficient market segmentation is secured, qualitative information about each of the segmented markets is gathered, and adequate marketing strategies to meet the demands of each segmented markets is established. Therefore, continuous studies are needed to secure qualitative information for market segmentation. In order to find out whether the domestic cosmetics market could be segmented according to consumers' shopping orientation, the present study analyzed cosmetics purchasing behavior, complaint behavior, and demographic characteristics of each consumer group classified according to their shopping orientation. The study was implemented by a normative-descriptive survey method using a questionnaire. Three groups of consumers were identified according to their shopping orientation: price-oriented group, information-oriented group, and brand-oriented group. It was confirmed that the groups, classified according to shopping orientation, have significantly different demographic, purchasing, and complaint behavior. Therefore, shopping orientation should be carefully considered in the segmentation of the cosmetics market.

표적마케팅의 성공은 세분시장에 대한 질적 파악이 크게 좌우하며, 세분시장의 질적 파악에는 효율적인 세분화기준이 절대적으로 필요하다. 따라서 보다 효율적인 세분화기준을 발견하고 그 기준에 의해 세분된 시장의 특성에 대한 질적인 데이터 구축을 위한 연구가 지속적으로 이루어져야 할 것이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 화장품소비자들의 구매성향에 따른 화장품시장 세분화의 가능성을 확인해 보기 위하여, 화장품 구매 성향의 특징에 따라 분류한 집단별 화장품 구매행동과 불평행동 및 인구통계적 특성을 분석하였다. 질문서를 이용한 조사연구법에 의해 이루어진 본고의 결론 및 제언은 다음과 같다 : (1) 화장품 소비 성향에 따라 "가격지향형", "정보추구형", "브랜드지향형" 등 3집단으로 분류되었으며, 인구통계적 특성과 화장품 쇼핑 성향간에 유의한 차이가 있었다. 가격지향형 집단에는 40대와 30대, 브랜드지향형 집단에는 20대와 30대, 정보추구형집단에는 20대가 많이 포함되어 있으며, 30대는 가격지향형과 브랜드지향형으로 양분되는 경향을 보였고, 20대는 브랜드지향형과 정보추구형으로 양분되는 경향을 보였다. 따라서 쇼핑성향이 고려되지 않은 연령별세분화는 그다지 효율적이지 못할 것이라 사료된다. (2) 세 집단 모두가 화장품의 브랜드 이미지를 형성하는 가장 중요한 요인은 성능 및 효과라고 응답하였으며, 가격을 이미지 형성요인으로 가장 많이 중요시하는 집단은 정보지향형 집단, 광고를 가장 많이 중시하는 집단은 브랜드 추구형 집단이었다. (3)만족도가 가장 높은 진단은 브랜드 추구형 집단이었으며, 가격지향형의 만족도가 가장 낮았다. 가격지향형 집단이 다른 두집단보다 불평행동을 취하는 정도가 낮았고, 정보지향형 집단이 다른 두집단보다 더 활발한 불평행동을 취하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 정보지향형과 브랜드지향형 집단의 경우에는 서비스회복의 만족도론 높혀주는데 주력하고, 가격지향형 집단의 경우에는 불평행동이 보다 적극적으로 취해질수 있도록 유도하는 마케팅 전략을 서비스 회복 전략과 함께 구사하는 것이 보다 효과적 일 것이라 생각된다.
