This study looked into the scarcity effect based on the consumers' self-regulatory modes and determined the effect that such a regulatory mode and that quantity-scarcity messages would have on evaluations of fashion products. To that end, the study used a 2 (regulatory mode: assessment mode/locomotion mode)${\times}2$ (message type: quantity-scarcity message/non-scarcity message) between-subjects factorial design in which buying impulsiveness was presented as a mediator variable that showed differences in product evaluations depending on the message type and on the presence of a self-regulatory mode. The results of this study showed that locomotion-oriented consumers evaluated products more positively compared to assessment-oriented consumers when the quantity-scarcity message was presented. When a non-scarcity message was presented, no significant difference was observed in product evaluations based on the consumers' self-regulatory modes. In addition, buying impulsiveness in consumers served a mediator role in the evaluations of fashion products. The results of this study imply that a clear understanding of consumers is a prerequisite for maximizing the scarcity effect and that companies need to differentiate in terms of the way they use scarcity messages based on consumers' self-regulatory modes.

본 연구는 기업에 대한 소비자의 의도추론이 희소성 효과에 미치는 영향에 있어서 희소성 메시지의 수량한정 유형 및 폭의 조절효과를 파악하고자 진행되었다. 연구결과는 크게 두 가지로 요약할 수 있다. 첫째, 특별한정으로 제시되는 경우에는 소비자의 기업에 대한 의도추론은 희소성 효과에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 그러나 일반한정으로 제시되는 경우에는 소비자가 기업의 의도를 추론하는 경우가 그렇지 않은 경우에 비해 구매의도가 더욱 낮았다. 둘째, 수량한정의 폭이 작은 경우에는 소비자의 기업에 대한 의도추론은 희소성 효과에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 그러나 수량한정의 폭이 큰 경우에는 소비자가 기업의 의도를 추론하는 경우가 그렇지 않은 경우에 비해 구매의도가 더욱 낮았다.

This study was intended to identify the persuasion effects of online cosmetic advertising according to scarcity message type and product type. For the experiment, 4 stimuli were developed as experimental stimuli for the 2(scarcity message type: quantity scarcity message vs distinctiveness scarcity message) X 2(product type: hedonic product vs utilitarian product) factorial design. Participants were 160 students, and they allocated 40 students in each group. They responded a questionnaire. The results were as follows. First, distinctiveness scarcity message showed more effective than quantity scarcity message in advertising attitude, product attitude, brand attitude, and purchase intention. Second, hedonic product showed more effective than utilitarian product in advertising attitude, product attitude, brand attitude, advertising attention, click-through intention, and purchase intention. Third, there was interaction effect according to scarcity message type and product type on the aspect of advertising attitude, advertisement attention, and click-through intention.

In this research, we analyze the effects of price discounts and scarcity message (both quantity limitation message and time limitation message) on the purchase intention in the smart-phone environment. The purchase intention becomes higher at high discount rate and with scarcity message (both quantity limitation message and time limitation message). We also analyze the moderating effects of consumer's shopping value and distance between the consumer and the store on the effects of price discounts and scarcity message (both quantity limitation message and time limitation message) on the purchase intention. On average, the effects of price discount, time limitation message and quantity limitation message on the purchase intention become the highest levels for consumers pursuing hedonic shopping value. The effects of price discount, time limitation message and quantity limitation message on the purchase intention become higher when they are offered within a short distance between the coupon provider and the target customer.

Due to the low conversion rate of social commerce, its sustainability is questioned. To solve this problem, this study aims to verify the different antecedents between visit intention and purchase intention. For a visit intention, this study employs the concept of the scarcity heuristic and its momentary characteristic. The scarcity heuristic is created by a scarcity of time and quantity, and provisional coupons. In previous studies, the scarcity heuristic has often been treated as a major factor in which to influence purchase intention. However, this study examines the scarcity heuristic only as an antecedent of the visit intention, not of the purchase intention, because of its momentary characteristic. Contrary to previous studies, as this study expected, the attributes of the scarcity heuristic had a significant relationship only with the visit intention in social commerce. Additionally, the results suggest that there are two distinct intentions in social commerce: visit intention and purchase intention. This study verified that the antecedents of the two distinct intentions are different from one another. This study helps to understand why people visit social commerce sites regularly but do not buy.

Purpose: Social networking services have been recognized as an attractive distribution channel at a time when efforts to deliver effective messages to consumers are essential amid a flood of advertisements in the multi-media era. In that sense, this study investigated the effect of the scarcity message type (limited-time vs. limited-quantity) and sender type (corporate vs. consumer) on the intention to purchase golf equipment by Instagram distribution channel. Research design, data and methodology: Data from 108 college students in their 20s and 30s with experience using Instagram were collected online through convenience sampling. A frequency analysis, exploratory factor analysis, reliability analysis, independent sample t-test, and two-way analysis of variance were performed using SPSS 23.0. Results: The results showed that limited-quantity messages induce a higher purchase intention than limited-time messages. Similarly, consumer-sent advertisements induce a higher purchase intention than corporate-sent advertisements. Further, there is no statistically significant interaction effect of the scarcity message type and sender type on the intention to purchase golf equipment. Conclusions: This study is meaningful in verifying consumers' purchase intention depending on the type of scarcity message and the type of sender in Instagram advertisements. The results yield significant implications for marketers and several directions for future research.

본 연구는 온라인에서 이루어지는 판매촉진 메시지의 대표적인 유형인 수량한정 메시지와 시간한정 메시지가 조절초점과 가격할인 유무에 따라 판촉태도와 구매의도에 어떠한 조절 역할을 하는지를 실증적으로 검증하고자 하였다. 연구 결과, 첫째, 수량한정 메시지의 경우 촉진초점 보다는 예방초점 메시지에 대한 판촉태도와 구매의도가 높게 나타났다. 둘째, 희소성 메시지가 단순히 조절초점 뿐 아니라 가격할인과 같은 판촉 활동에 의해 다양하게 조절될 수 있다는 점이 확인되었다. 즉, 수량한정 메시지의 경우 가격할인이 제시되지 않은 메시지보다는 가격할인이라는 메시지가 제시되었을 때 판촉태도와 구매의도가 증폭된다는 점이 증명되었다. 그러나 시간한정 메시지의 경우에는 이러한 가격할인이라는 추가적인 가치가 판촉태도와 구매의도에 거의 영향을 미치지 않는다는 점이 발견되었다.

This study is about pressure-accepting behavior of consumers attached to brands. Previous studies of the situation focused on time pressure and scarcity pressure, focusing on scarcity. The results of the study are as follows. First, consumers attached to brands were found to be relatively blunt in time pressures. This indicates that brands of consumers are attached to do not buy on impulse because of time pressure. Second, consumers attached to brands were found to be relatively under social pressure. This indicates that consumers who are attached to the brand do not buy with social pressures such as quasi-family groups. Third, consumers attached to brands were found to be relatively sensitive to scarcity pressures. Thus, a quantity-limited marketing strategy is generally more effective for consumers with high marketing effectiveness but high brand attachment. Fourth, unlike the one presented, consumers attached to the brand were found to be relatively insensitive to place pressure.

This study investigates the influences of the impulse buying tendency of consumers, apparel price and scarcity messages on purchasing behavior at the time of purchase on the internet. This study was comprised of 2 (impulse buying: high versus low) $\times$ 2 (price of Internet purchase products: high apparel price versus low apparel price) $\times$ 2 (scarcity message: quantity scarcity message versus time scarcity message) with three mixed elements. The subjects of this study were 400 college students in the Seoul and Gyeonggi area. A total of 95 students who had a high tendency for impulsive purchase and 104 who had a low tendency participated in the survey. Data are analyzed by factor analysis, T-test, and ANOVA. The results of this study are as follows. 1. At the time of group buying on the Internet, impulse buying tendency, apparel price, and scarcity message had a statistically significant interaction effect on consumer preferences. 2. At the time of purchase on the Internet, impulse buying tendency, apparel price, and scarcity message did not have a statistically significant interaction effect on the intention of consumers to make a purchase. However, there was a significant difference in the intention to make a purchase based on impulse buying tendency and apparel price.

원(原)자원의 거래가격과 일치하는 무연탄에 대한 암묵가격은 우리나라의 경우 정부의 가격통제로 인하여 희소성지표로 사용하기에는 부적합하다. 김동수 이명헌 (2002)은 비용함수의 추정이 수반되는 Halvorsen and Smith(1984)의 실증적 모형을 적용하여 무연탄의 연도별 암묵가격을 도출한 결과 1970~1996년 기간동안 평균 8.93%의 상승률을 기록하였다. 이들 암묵가격이 희소성지표로서 신뢰성을 얻기 위해서는 투입 생산요소 특히 자본에 대한 정확한 가격산정이 먼저 전제되어야 하지만 우리나라의 열악한 자료환경하에서 자본가격의 산출이 임기웅변적으로 이루어지고 있는 현실을 고려하면 이들 암묵가격으로 판단한 고갈속도는 실제 상황을 왜곡시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 산출량과 요소 투입량에 대한 자료만으로 추정이 가능한 Shephard(1970)의 투입물거리함수를 활용하여 무연탄 암묵가격을 산출한 바, 동일기간을 대상으로 했음에도 불구하고 평균 2.89%의 상승률을 보였다. 이러한 결과는 김동수 이명헌(2002)의 연구처럼 비용함수 추정방식으로 도출된 암묵가격에 의거하여 고갈속도를 판단할 경우 실제보다 약 3배 이상 빠르게 고갈되고 있는 것으로 잘못 인식될 수 있음을 의미한다.
