Abstract
This study categorizes online fashion shopping malls according to consumer store patronage behavior as well as classifies consumer groups by online shopping mall patronage to understand the unique characteristics in each phases of purchase. A quantitative survey was conducted using 487 questionnaires from women in their 20s and 30s. The data were analyzed using frequency analysis, cross-tabulations, factor analysis, T-test, ANOVA, cluster analysis, and <TEX>${\chi}^2$</TEX>-test. The findings of this study are as follows. First, online shopping malls were classified into three types of 'integrated mall', 'open market' and 'specialized fashion mall'. Second, based on one of the three types of categorization consumer groups patronizing each type turned out as follows: integrated mall patrons (141, 28.95%), open market patrons (226, 46.41%) and the specialized mall patrons (119, 24.64%). Third, the characteristics of each group had significant differences according to clothing shopping orientation, information search, shopping mall behavior, spending on online shopping, and e-loyalty.
