본연구에서는미용실을이용하는소비자들의가치의식유형에따라인구통계적특성의차이와정보원, 점포서비스품질, 소비자만족및점포충성도의차이를살펴보았다. 미용실을방문한성인여성을대상을설문지를이용하여자료를수집하였으며결과를요약하면다음과같다. 적극적가치지향형은20대의미혼자로전문직이많았으며정보원은친구, 가족/경험, 대중/인쇄매체등모든정보원을적극이용하였고, 점포서비스품질은정책서비스를제외한인적서비스, 시설서비스, 기술서비스를모두중요시하는것으로나타났다. 관계지향형은30대의가정주부가많았으며, 정보원은다른소비자유형과비교해볼때친구, 가족/경험정보원을상대적으로많이이용하는것으로나타났다. 점포서비스품질은인적서비스를중요시하는것으로나타났다. 쾌락지향형은20대의기혼자, 학생이많았고, 정보원으로는대중/인쇄매체정보원을관계지향형보다상대적으로많이이용하였으며, 점포서비스품질은다른집단에비해덜중요시하는것으로나타났다. 소비자만족은적극적가치지향형과관계지향형이쾌락지향형보다만족하는것으로나타났으며점포충성도는소비자유형에따라차이가나타나지않았다.
이러한연구결과로미용실을이용하는소비자들의가치의식에따라인구통계적특성, 정보원, 점포서비스품질및소비자만족에차이가있는것으로나타나소비자들의가치의식이미용실이용시에중요한영향을미치는변수임을알수있었다. 따라서미용실을관리하는마케터나관련종사자들은이를활용하여좀더적극적인마케팅전략을세워야할것이다.The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences of demographic characteristics, service quality, consumer satisfaction, and store loyalty on consumer values when purchasing hairdressing services.
