Abstract

The foodservice industry is applying new marketing strategies, and advertisements are the best way to convey their distinctive brand images. The foodservice companies have been choosing a type of advertising called Product Placement(PPL) because it is unconsciously shown more often than other types of advertisements while customers are watching a movie or TV drama. Therefore, the aims of this research were to investigate the influence of the customers' perception of PPL inserted into TV dramas on brand image and purchasing intention. Additionally, present study performed to identify the differences between Korean and Chinese customers. For the survey, the study used both offline and online sampling methods, and the analyzed data was from 150 Korean and 150 Chinese respondents. As results, the more respondents were positive and familiar about PPL, the higher the brand image and purchasing intention. Chinese consumers had positive perception of PPL, which positively influenced the brand image and purchasing intention while Korean consumers' ethical awareness about PPL had a negative influence. Therefore, the Korean foodservice industry needs to differentiate the strategies for the PPL marketing between the Korean and Chinese market.

최근 한국에서 방송에서 쉽게 접할 수 있는 제품간접광고, 즉 Product Placement(PPL)는 영화 또는 TV 프로그램이 방영되는 중에 자연스럽게 노출됨으로 다른 종류의 광고에 비해 노출수준이 높다. 또한, PPL이 비용대비 높은 효과를 보임에 따라 외식업체들은 적극적으로 PPL을 이용하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 드라마 속에 등장하는 외식업체 PPL에 대한 한국과 중국 소비자의 인식 차이를 파악하고, PPL에 대한 인식이 기업의 브랜드 이미지와 구매의도에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 본 연구는 한국 TV드라마를 통해 PPL 광고를 시청한 경험이 있는 20세 이상 중국인과 한국인을 조사대상으로 하였으며, 총 한달 동안 두 가지 온라인과 오프라인 설문조사 방법을 병행하여 양적 연구를 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 한국 소비자들의 경우 PPL에 대한 친숙도가 높고, 그 소비유도 특성을 잘 이해하고 있을 때 브랜드이미지와 구매의도에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 PPL의 부정적인 면을 잘 인식하고 있는 소비자들의 브랜드이미지와 구매의도는 낮추는 것으로 조사되었다. 반면에 중국 소비자들의 경우 PPL에 대해 긍정적이고 친숙할수록 브랜드이미지와 구매의도 모두에 긍정적인 영향을 주었다. 그러나 PPL에 대한 부정적인 면을 인식하고 있더라도 브랜드이미지와 구매의도에는 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 드라마 속 PPL에 대한 한국과 중국 소비자의 인식 차이가 있음을 고려하여 PPL 활용 전략을 차별화하여야 할 것이다.
