在你我的生活中,排隊的現象每天都在發生。對於「排隊」這件事,每個人的看法與解讀不盡相同;對於進行「排隊消費」,更是各有不同的立場,有人認為用時間追求商品是一種快樂;有人認為效率才是首要之務,排隊是浪費時間。然而,對於願意加入長時間排隊的人,他們的熱情來源為何?品牌又為何能創造排隊價值?而排隊的人在整個歷程中究竟有什麼感受與收穫? 俗話說「時間就是金錢」,但是對排隊的人來說,時間的價值又是如何與排隊商品作衡量?不同類別的排隊消費者,又是否有什麼共同的特點?因此,本研究以這群「長時間排隊」的消費者為對象,探討其內在心理與外在行為,深入此族群在排隊情感與認知、參與排隊之等待模式、消費行為與特性及購後行為等各種態度。 本研究採用半結構式深度訪談,透過文獻回顧與立意抽樣的方式篩選基於品牌喜好而加入排隊、排隊時間超過一個小時且中途沒有放棄,最後成功購買商品的排隊消費者,以一對一訪談的方式,進行資料的蒐集與分析。 歸納後,於「情感與認知」中,揭露排隊消費者的不同內在動機、品牌提供的價值與對於不同角色的看法與態度;在「排隊參與之模式」中,透視單一和群體消費者的事前準備、排隊策略及消遣模式;接著,在「行為與特性」的部分,探究排隊者對於消費金額、時間、以及對其他消費模式的態度;最後,透過「購後行為」,歸納排隊消費者購後的感受、分享行為,以及對於商品問題的處理方式。 本研究的結果,將於最後一章進行整體的呈現,並透過服務業行銷領域的七個面向進行實務上的建議,並提出未來可研究的學術面向,供後續對於排隊現象有興趣、有熱情的學術研究者更多具有研究潛力的目標。
