Abstract

Local festival in Korea has developed quantitatively as well qualitatively. Driving force of local festival's development is local governments' active supports. Many Local government support local festival opening actively to accomplish economic activation. Activation of local festivals is good chance to local start-up companies. Local start-up companies don't have well known brand, and wide distribution network. But they can sell their products to visitors in local festival. And if fortune smiles upon them, they can get big buyers in local festivals. If so, what factors can contribute to a increase sales of local start-up companies? Different from existing research that focus on tour industrial outcome, we will focus on effect of festival service quality on increase sales. The survey is using structured questionnaire, we surveyed visitors who visit local start-up companies' booth in festival site. According to survey result, first, each dimensions of festival service quality do not effect on purchase intention directly except empathy dimension. Second, each dimensions of festival service quality effect on purchase intention by a medium of local image indirectly except assurance dimension. And purchase intention have a great effect on purchase action. Through the results, we can confirm festival service quality effect on purchase intention by a medium of local image indirectly. we suggest that improving festival service quality can effect on sales increase of local start-up companies, and for the purpose of sales increase, local government must improve local image at first.

지역축제란 지역기반창업기업들에게 매우 소중한 홍보 및 판매의 장이 될 수 있다. 그렇다면 지역축제의 서비스품질은 이들의 제품 판매 활성화에 직접적으로 기여할 수 있는가? 기존의 축제서비스품질과 관련된 연구에서는 축제서비스 품질의 관광산업적 성과에 주로 초점을 맞추었던 것과는 달리, 우리는 축제서비스 품질이 제품판매에 미치는 영향에 초점을 맞추어 연구를 진행하였다. 선행연구 분석을 토대로 하여 우리는 "지역축제의 서비스품질은 지역이미지를 매개로 지역기반창업기업의 제품에 대한 소비자의 구매의도에 영향을 줄 것이다"라는 가설을 세우고 연구를 진행하였다. 그 결과 첫째, 축제서비스 품질은 구매의도에 직접적으로 영향을 주지 않았다. 공감성 차원을 제외할 땐 다른 차원은 모두 직접적 영향을 주지 않았다. 반면 축제서비스 품질의 각 차원은 확신성을 제외하고 지역 이미지를 매개로 구매의도에 유의미한 영향을 주었다. 그리고 구매의도는 구매행동에도 실질적으로 큰 영향을 미치고 있었다. 이를 통해 우리는 지역축제서비스품질은 지역이미지를 매개로 할 때, 지역기반창업기업의 제품판매에 영향을 미친다는 점을 확인할 수 있었다. 다만 영향은 직접적인 영향이 아니라 간접적인 영향이었다. 또한 지역이미지가 중요한 영향을 미치므로 지역이미지를 개선하기 위한 노력이 선행되어야 한다는 점을 제언할 수 있다. 더하여 지역축제서비스 품질의 향상은 지역기반창업기업제품 판매에 긍정적 영향을 준다는 점을 확인할 수 있었으며, 특히 공감성 차원이 영향을 많이 준다는 점을 또한 확인할 수 있었다.
