本研究以「韓國品牌手機」為研究標的,針對手機的「品牌形象」與「廣告訴求」,探討其受到「口碑」之影響下,對於「購買意願」的影響力。本研究發現,「象徵性品牌形象」,相較於「功能性品牌形象」與「經驗性品牌形象」,較易使消費者產生較高的購買意願;「感性訴求」之廣告類型,相較於「理性訴求」之廣告,更能夠激起消費者較高之購買意願;「感性訴求」之廣告類型,搭配「象徵性品牌形象」會有最佳的搭配效果。可見韓國手機業者應採取感性訴求之廣告,強調身份與地位的象徵,符合消費者自我感知形象。最後,部分消費者會極力勸阻親朋好友購買「韓國品牌」的手機,並散播負面口碑,而根據研究結果發現,口碑能夠調節「品牌訴求」對於「購買意願」之過程,所以,業者對於負面口碑不可不慎,以免負面口碑破壞了長期經營之品牌形象。
