  • Factors Influencing the Intention to Redeem Coffee Shop Coupons in Korea
    www.ccsenet.org/ijbm International Journal of Business and Management Vol. 5, No. 7; July 2010 Factors Influencing the Intention to Redeem Coffee Shop Coupons in Korea Hyung Seok Lee (Corresponding author) Department of Business Administration, Sahmyook University Hwarangro-815 Nowon-gu, Seoul 139-742, South Korea Tel: 82-2-3399-1561 E-mail: [email protected] Min Sun Yeu Business School, Doctoral Student of Marketing Korea University, South Korea E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The three primary objective of this study are to 1) provide an overview of the Korean coffee shop market and apply previous coupon models to the redemption behavior of coffee shop patrons; 2) verify the hypothesized causal relationships among the expiration date, coupon value, brand loyalty, and the intention to redeem coupons; and 3) examine the effect of the expiration date on the consumer’s coupon redemption intention and review the implications for practitioners. Keywords: Coupon, Expiration date, Coupon redemption, Coupon value, Brand loyalty 1. Introduction Coupons have been around for over 100 years in developed nations; some are even considered a third form of currency. In the U.S., the coupon market is valued at approximately 9 trillion won, and coupon use is widespread, with over 2.58 billion coupons issued in 2004 alone (World Daily, 2006). Prior coupon research has indicated that coupons are effective in increasing short-term revenues across a wide range of countries. Coupons were first introduced in Korea the late 1990s, and despite their relatively short history, businesses have wholeheartedly embraced them both as a marketing strategy to gain competitive advantage and as a means to overcome a sluggish market (World Daily, 2006).
