대인간의 애착과 장기적 관계 유지에 있어 토대가 되는 것이 상대방에 대한 사랑이듯이 소비자와 브랜드간의 관계를 형성하고 유지하는데 기반이 되는 것이 브랜드사랑이다. 따라서 기업의 브랜드전략이 추구해야 할 주요목표 중 하나는 타겟소비자들이 브랜드사랑을 경험하게 하는 것이다. 브랜드사랑이란 특정 브랜드에 대해 만족한 소비자가 갖는 열정적인 애착과 장기적 관계형성에서 우러나는 긍정적 감정들이 결합된 것을 의미하며, 최근 들어 소비자-브랜드 관계의 형성과정을 설명하는데 있어 주요 구성개념의 하나로서 브랜드 사랑이 연구되고 있다. 본 연구는 패션제품, 휴대폰, 화장품 등 고관여 제품 브랜드를 대상으로 소비자의 브랜드충성도를 유지․강화시키는 핵심요소로서 브랜드사랑에 주목하고, 브랜드사랑의 주요 원인변수로서 지각된 제품품질(perceived product quality), 그리고 브랜드개성(personality)-소비자 자아일치성의 주요유형인 실제적 자아일치성(actual self-congruence), 이상적 자아일치성(ideal self-congruence), 사회적 자아일치성(social self-congruence)을 제시하고 브랜드사랑에 대한 이들의 상대적 영향력을 비교분석하였다. 실증분석결과, 실제적 자아일치성이 브랜드사랑에 가장 큰 영향요인으로 나타났으며, 또한 사회적 자아일치성, 지각된 품질도 브랜드사랑에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 이상적 자아일치성은 브랜드사랑에 통계적으로 유의미한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 실제적 자아일치성이 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것은 해석수준이론에 의해 설명될 수 있는데, 현재의 자신을 표현하려는 욕구가 미래의 자신을 표현하려는 욕구에 비해 더 구체적이고 강렬하기 때문이라고 할 수 있다. 그러므로 브랜드사랑을 경험함에 있어 실제적 자아일치성이 이상적 자아일치성에 비해 훨씬 강한 영향을 미치게 된다. 또한 사회적 자아일치성이 브랜드사랑에 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것은 동양권의 집단적, 상호의존적 문화의식의 영향으로 추정된다.
Abstract
Brand love is defined as the degree of passionate attachment a satisfied consumer has for a particular brand. In recent years, “Brand Love” has been studied as an key construct in explaining the process of developing and retaining the relationship between consumer and brand. Consumers' love with the brand may be one of important goals of brand strategy for building the brand equity and customer loyalty. This study is focused on brand love as a key factor for maintaining and strengthening the brand loyalty of consumers in the high-involvement product brands, such as fashion items, mobile phones, and cosmetics. The purpose of this study is to analyze the relative impact of consumer's actual self-congruence, ideal self-congruence, and social self-congruence with a brand's personality on brand love. Also, we include the perceived product quality of the brand as another independent variable that may influence the brand love. We examine the relative effect of perceived quality and the types of congruence between brand and consumer self on the brand love. The empirical results suggest that consumer's actual self-congruence has the strongest impact on brand love. Also, social self-congruence and perceived quality have the positive relationship with brand love. However, ideal self-congruence did not have the significant effect on brand love. This study shows that strengthening the actual and social image congruence between target consumers and brand is the effective way of building the strong consumer-brand relationship.
