The purpose of this study is to identify effective advertising communication strategies affecting personal pension subscription. This course aims to ignite and focus on time and money, which are important attributes of personal pension products. The advertising message appeal strategy seeks to verify the differential effects on the message orientation (self-oriented message, other-oriented message) and the message sidedness(one-sided message, two-sided message). The dependent variable of this study is to measure the advertising effect (intention to join the presented personal pension product, attitude to the proposed personal pension product, attitude to advertising). The results of this study will be the basic data suggesting the advertising communication plan that can effectively induce private pension and the advertising strategy for the pension sector activation. This study establishes the following hypotheses and attempts to verify them. Hypothesis 1-1. If the focus is on money-related attributes, advertising will be more effective on individual-oriented message appeals than on others. Hypothesis 1-2. If the focus is on time-related attributes, the advertising effect will be higher in other-oriented message appeals than in personal-oriented message appeals. Hypothesis 2-1. If the focus is on money-related attributes, advertising will be more effective in one-sided message appeals than in two-sided message appeals. Hypothesis 2-2. If the focus is on time-related attributes, the advertising effect will be higher in double-sided message appeal than in one-sided message appeal. Subjects will be targeted to men and women in the metropolitan area and competition zone who are between the ages of 20 and 30 and who do not currently have private pension products. To test hypotheses, 2 (product attribute focusing: money, time related content) × 2 (advertising message appeal strategy: message-oriented- self-oriented / other-oriented) × 2 (advertising message appeal strategy: message sidedness -one-sided message / Two-sided message) factorial design. The dependent variable will be the effect of advertising (intention to join the proposed personal pension product, attitude to the proposed personal pension product, attitude to advertising). Specifically, the focus on product attributes is based on the contents of previous studies, and the contents related to money use phrases such as 'My living expenses after retirement', 'Retirement faster than expected, and required living expenses of 2.16 million won after retirement'. I would like to suggest a message that you can be prepared for the subscription. On the other hand, the content of time will give a message that '30 years after retirement 'can prepare for this time with phrases such as' Retirement faster than expected, 30.7 years spent after retirement'. As a first part of the advertising message appeal strategy, message orientation emphasizes that in the case of personally oriented appeals, personal pension subscriptions will benefit them, while in other oriented appeals, private pension subscriptions are concerned about others, their families. I will emphasize the fact that they do not have to do it and that benefits are coming to them. In addition, the second strategy, the laterality of messages, will be categorized into one-sided and two-sided messages. In the case of the one-sided message, we will only present the benefits of joining the pension. However, the double-sided message has some benefits to joining the pension, but also presents the difficulty of joining the pension. In this study, the advertising effect is the dependent variable, and the advertising effect is measured in terms of 'intention to join the presented personal pension product', 'attitude toward the presented personal pension product', and 'attitude toward advertising'. Finally, the collected data will verify the difference of advertisement effect through ANOVA analysis using SPSS. The results of this study are expected to support the hypothesis, and the results of this study will be presented at the 2020 Spring Conference and Consumer and Advertising Psychology Conference. In particular, after publication of the Consumer and Advertising Psychology Association, it is planned to be published in the Consumer and Advertising Psychology Journal at the end of August. This study is meaningful in that it has a psychological approach to the academic value of treating pension products from a consumer perspective and the approach to consumption for the future for the retirement in an aging society.
In addition, this study will be able to enrich the explanation of consumer behavior for the future by expanding the research into various products, services, and long-term goals that may affect the life of old age, in addition to pension products. It is necessary to identify the key attributes of these alternatives and to study what are the cognitive and behavioral differences among consumers when they focus on each of these attributes. Based on this, further studies will be conducted to verify the effects of the message contents in a concrete context. This can ultimately build a set of studies that systematically approach what effective persuasion strategies are for the life of the aging and even the consumption of the distant future.
