This study investigates the effectiveness of three distinct fundraising strategies—push, pull, and direct marketing—in non-profit organizations, with a focus on entities based in Washington D.C. A literature review highlights the significance of these strategies, noting that push marketing is often favored for generating initial awareness, while direct marketing excels in targeted outreach, and pull marketing is beneficial for building long-term engagement.

The chi-squared test revealed that push marketing, often combined with direct methods, was the most prevalent and effective approach among the organizations surveyed, aligning with previous research indicating its superior efficacy in fundraising. The findings suggest that nonprofits in Washington D.C. prefer a mixed strategy approach to maximize fundraising success. This study contributes to the understanding of fundraising tactics, demonstrating the importance of selecting and combining marketing strategies based on organizational goals and target audiences.

Unveiling consumer preferences in automotive reviews through aspect-based opinion generation

Unveiling consumer preferences in online reviews is receiving increasing attention. While most existing approaches for consumer preferences have achieved significant improvements, fine-grained sentiment is rarely considered. Fine-grained sentiment analysis involves several essential tasks, such as aspect-opinion recognition, and sentiment orientation analysis. However, existing methods cannot effectively generate an opinion pair, especially when dealing with Chinese automotive reviews. In this paper, we propose a joint course- and fine-grained sentiment analysis of preferences, a new framework for opinion pair generation using graph neural networks (GCN), which optimizes model performance based on aspect-wise sentiment information, as well as our experiments on the course- and fine-grained tasks. Our graph-based multi-grained convolution (CMGC) model outperforms all baselines by at least 1% accuracy in coarse-grained tasks. The results in the fine-grained task are significantly better than the baseline, surpassing the previous state-of-the-art by 1.33% and 3.88% in R and R@1, respectively. Our results can effectively reveal consumer preferences from automotive reviews, which provides business managers with specific marketing strategies.

The Influence of SNS Information Characteristics on Brand Awareness in Skin Care Shop: Focusing on Women in their 20s and 30s

This study aims to present meaningful implications for efficient operation of SNS marketing that can enhance the brand value of skin care shops and increase consumers' purchasing behavior by identifying the impact of SNS information characteristics on brand awareness for female consumers in their 20s and 30s. To this end, the survey was conducted on women in their 20s and 30s, and a total of 270 copies were used as final analysis data. The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS v.26.0 program. Taken together, reliability among the characteristics of SNS information was found to be an important variable in brand awareness. In other words, from the perspective of female consumers in their 20s and 30s, when they perceive that the SNS information provided by the skin care shop is reliable, the brand awareness of the skin care shop becomes positive, and the higher the brand awareness, the higher the purchase behavior. Therefore, the skin care shop needs to raise brand awareness by strategic use of SNS targeting women in their 20s and 30s, and in particular, establishing differentiated marketing strategies focusing on reliability will have a positive impact on the growth of the skin beauty industry.

자기선물 구매동기가 심리적 웰빙과 재구매의도에 미치는 영향

This study aims to investigate the impact of consumers’ self-gift purchase motivation on their psychological well-being and repurchase intention in the context of the consumption trend of pursuing self-healing and small happiness for themselves and to verify whether there are differences in the relationship between these research concepts by product type. To this end, hypotheses and research models were derived from the theoretical background, and a survey was conducted among Chinese consumers who had purchased utilitarian or hedonic products as self-gifts, and the results were tested using a structural equation model. The research findings are summarized as follows. First, the investment motive, consolation motive, and imitation motive of self-gifting had a positive effect on psychological well-being after self-gifting, and the investment motive had a positive impact on the repurchase intention of self-gifting. Second, psychological well-being after self-gift purchase positively affected repurchase intention. Third, the moderating effect of product type was significant in the relationship between all consumption motives and psychological well-being except for the self-gift imitation motive. In particular, psychological well-being had a positive effect on repurchase intentions after self-gifting hedonic products for reward and comfort motives, and psychological well-being had a positive effect on repurchase intentions after self-gifting utilitarian products for investment motives. These results suggest that companies should focus on consumers’ preferences for self-gifting, develop differentiated products, and establish differentiated marketing strategies based on consumers’ purchase motives, such as developing communication messages appropriate to their product types.
